Default Snippets

Six snippets are produced by default:

curl-request
http-request
http-response
httpie-request
request-body
response-body

You can change the default snippet configuration during setup by using the RestDocumentationConfigurer API. The following examples produce only the curl-request snippet by default:

MockMvc
WebTestClient
