[Spring REST Docs](https://projects.spring.io/spring-restdocs/) auto generates [Asciidoctor](http://asciidoctor.org/) snippets with the help of [Spring MVC Test](http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/htmlsingle#spring-mvc-test-framework) or [RestAssured](https://extranet.aoe.com/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=86937862).  So you can be sure that your tests are inline with the documentation.

At AOE, we use [Spring REST Docs](https://projects.spring.io/spring-restdocs/) to document our Rest Services and Hal Resources. We also use it to auto generate [Wiremock](/tools/wiremock.html) Stubs, so the consumer of the service can test against the exact API of the service.
