The Endpoints Java Framework aims to be a simple solution to assist in creation of RESTful web APIs in Java. This repository provides several artifacts, all in the com.aodocs.endpoints group:

1. endpoints-framework: The core framework, required for all applications building Endpoints apps.
2. endpoints-framework-all: Same as above, but with repackaged dependencies.
3. endpoints-framework-guice: An extension for configuring Endpoints using Guice.
4. endpoints-framework-tools: Tools for generating discovery documents, Swagger documents, and client libraries.

The main documents for consuming Endpoints can be found at https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/java

To install test versions to Maven for easier dependency management, simply run:

gradle install

These are the most notable additions to the original project by Google, currently inactive:

• Runtime
  • Allow adding arbitrary data to generic errors
  • Improve returned errors on malformed JSON
  • Validate request parameters/body through Java bean validation provided by Hibernate validator
  • Validate request content-type (must be enable through enableContentTypeValidation servlet parameter)
• Discovery and Swagger
  • Add description on resources and resource usage as request body
  • Support declaring resource properties as required
  • Support pattern, minimum/maximum attributes
• Swagger
  • Generated spec is fully compatible with Cloud Endpoints Portal (and is 100% valid Swagger spec)
  • Support multi-API service in Endpoints Management
  • New options to combine common parameters in same path, extract parameter refs at spec level, add error model description, customize spec title and description
  • Add description support for resource and resource usage
  • Configurable naming templates for operationIds and tag names with better defaults
  • Support exclusiveMinimum/exclusiveMaximum, minLength/maxLength and minItems/maxItems attributes

Check closed PRs for all additions.

• When using validation with java bean validation annotations : in order to have well named parameters instead of arg0/arg1 in error messages, your code must be compiled with the -parameters options.
