Annotations for Models

1.5.x	2.x	Notes
@APIModel(description = "...")	@Schema(description = "...")	@Schema is used not only to define schemas (which are basically entities/data classes or properties) but also to reference such with @Schema(implementation=<someclass>.class)
@APIModelProperty(description = "...")	@Schema(description = "...")	Only if the decorated getter is not an array type.
@APIModelProperty(description = "...")	@ArraySchema(schema = @Schema(implementation = <someclass>.class, description = "..."))	Only if the decorated getter is an array type.
@APIModelProperty(readOnly = true)	@Schema(accessMode=AccessMode.READ_ONLY)

Annotations for Operations

1.5.x	2.x	Notes
@Path("/testpath") @Api("Some API") public class SomeClass	@Path("/test") @Tag(name="testpath", description="Some API") public class SomeClass
@ApiOperation	@Operation	See below for usage
@APIResponses	removed	See below for usage
@APIResponse	@ApiResponse	See below for usage; ApiResponse.responseCode is a String now (not int)
@ApiParam(value = "...", example = "...")	@Parameter(description = "...", example = "...")

Examples for Operations

Example for an API Operation

@Operation(summary = "Gets the recurring order with the given identifier",
                    responses = { @ApiResponse(responseCode = OK, description = OK_MSG,
                                    content = @Content(schema = @Schema(implementation = RecurringOrderRO.class))),
                                    @ApiResponse(responseCode = NOT_FOUND, description = NOT_FOUND_MSG) })
@GET
@Path("/{externalID}/")
@Override
public Response get(@Parameter(description = "The external id") @PathParam("externalID") String externalID)
{
    return Response.ok(something).build();
}

Others

1.5.x	2.x	Notes
@SwaggerDefinition(basePath = "/myapi", host="intershop.de" info = @Info(...), consumes = { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML }, produces = { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML }, schemes = { SwaggerDefinition.Scheme.HTTP, SwaggerDefinition.Scheme.HTTPS })	@OpenAPIDefinition( servers= { @Server(url="http://intershop.de/myapi"), @Server(url="https://intershop.de/myapi") }, info = @Info(...))	basePath, host and schemes are now merged into servers
@SwaggerDefinition.consumes, @SwaggerDefinition.produces	removed	Was removed, now MediaTypes are specified per-resource (with @Consumes/@Produces)
@Api(hidden = true)	@Hidden	@Hidden works for models or operations
