Spring Boot - API Documentation

Consider this model property annotated with @Schema:

@Schema(description = "User's age", minimum = "0", maximum = "120")
private int age;

What will this annotation do in the generated API documentation?

AShow the age field with description and allowed range 0 to 120

BEnforce age validation automatically at runtime

CIgnore the age field in the API documentation

DSet the default age value to 0

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand @Schema attributes
The description, minimum, and maximum attributes add metadata to the API docs showing the field's meaning and valid range.
Step 2: Clarify runtime behavior
@Schema does not enforce validation at runtime; it only documents constraints for API consumers.
Final Answer:
Show the age field with description and allowed range 0 to 120 -> Option A
Quick Check:
@Schema documents field details, not runtime validation [OK]

Quick Trick: Use minimum and maximum in @Schema to document value ranges [OK]
