My View

Hisotry

spring-asciidoctor-extensions is the first asciidoc extension project, but it was deprecated now. So it better that pay more attention into other projects.

spring-asciidoctor-extensions provide basic abilities: double code block、Code Block and more...

Now-Maven（last version 2023.8）

Spring Boot lead the trend of .yaml/.properties, an another option ranther than xml, and it support kotlin、gradle...

Based on the above background, spring-asciidoctor-backends replace it, a more powerful extansion in asciidoc.

asciidoctor-backends provids features: Spring looks and file(eg. spring logo / spring color in css...)、Dark Mode、Code Chomping、Code Importing and more...

Now-Node.JS

With the development of the static doc / Node.js, there were more factors appeard, such as static search (eg. algolia pagefind...), afterall, is's easier to modify css in a Node.js project.

spring-io/asciidoctor-extensions apperad, and it looks like a "official version" for release 1.0.xxx ?

Spring Boot 3.3 and beyond will be using Antora to generate documentation. Since Antora is Javascript based the existing https://github.com/spring-io/spring-asciidoctor-extensions project needed to be rewritten away from Java. The result of that is https://github.com/spring-io/asciidoctor-extensions.

The UI assets for the new site are at https://github.com/spring-io/antora-ui-spring.
