What is the springfox in the pom dependency?

Question

what is the springfox. i saw in the pom.xml properties. but i can't understand the springfox.

<dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
            <version>${springfox.version}</version>
</dependency>

like above, i don't understand what it means and how exactly it works. I searched about it but there's no information what springfox is.

Somehow missed the [tag:springfox] which would answer the question if you read the tag excerpt. — Blakes Seven, Mar 10 '16 at 06:00
