A Test Driven Approach to Documenting RESTful APIs with Spring REST Docs
------------
Documentation generated from source code is very popular. Solutions such as Swagger are available for many different languages and frameworks. However, limitations of annotation based tools are becoming apparent. An overwhelming number of documentation annotations make for great docs but muddy the source code. Then, something changes and the docs are out of date again.

That is where test-driven approaches come in.

Test-driven documentation solutions, such as Spring Rest Docs, generate example snippets for requests and responses from tests ensuring both code coverage and accurate documentation. It can even fail the build when documentation becomes out of date. This session will walk through how to implement test-driven documentation solutions for groovy ecosystem technologies like Spring Boot and Grails. Attendees should have a basic understanding of AsciiDoc and how to construct RESTful APIs in Spring Boot and/or Grails.

Jennifer “Jenn” Strater is a software engineer with a passion for developing and designing applications using new and innovative technologies. Her strengths are in the service layer including building RESTful APIs. Jenn also has experience with relational and NoSQL databases, devops, front-end, and mobile in the healthcare and transportation industries. She learns new tools and systems quickly and introduces new technology learned through local community groups, involvement in the international Groovy community, and when speaking at or attending regional, national, and international conferences.

Jenn is the co-founder of the organization Gr8Ladies and has organized Gr8Workshops for developers interested in an overview and crash course in Groovy technologies. She has presented at various Minnesota tech events, the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, Greach, Gr8Conf EU, Gr8Conf US, and Devoxx Belgium.

Starting in September, Jenn will be a master's student at the Technical University of Denmark studying static analysis and compilers with a focus on Groovy with funding from the Fulbright U.S. student program.

 = Introduction
 
 The Gr8Data API is a RESTful web service for aggregating and displaying gender ratios from
 various companies across the world. This document outlines how to submit data from your company or team and
 how to access the aggregate data.
 
 [[overview-http-verbs]]
 == HTTP verbs
 
 The Gr8Data API tries to adhere as closely as possible to standard HTTP and REST conventions in its
 use of HTTP verbs.

  37. @codeJENNerator Add Snippets to AsciiDoc == Errors
 
 Whenever an

    error response (status code >= 400) is returned, the body will contain a JSON object
 that describes the problem. The error object has the following structure:
 
 include::{snippets}/error-example/response-fields.adoc[]
 
 For example, a request that attempts to apply a non-existent tag to a note will produce a
 `400 Bad Request` response:
 
 include::{snippets}/error-example/http-response.adoc[]
