What does springfox do? And how can it be replaced?-CodePudding

I have been given with a legacy project which uses springfox

implementation "io.springfox:springfox-data-rest:3.0.0"
implementation "io.springfox:springfox-bean-validators:3.0.0"
implementation 'io.springfox:springfox-swagger-ui:3.0.0'
implementation "io.springfox:springfox-swagger2:3.0.0"

I could not find any material explaining what these all do. These springfox projects are not updated since Jul, 2020. They also have vulnerabilities of CVE-2018-25031 etc. So they have to replaced to fix the vulnerabilities

Now what do these do? Where can I find details about it and how can it be replaced?
