When I add springdoc-openapi-ui dependency to my pom.xml and run the application I get the exception in the title. When I remove this dependency everything works. Spring Boot version is 3.0.0 and springdoc-openapi-ui is 1.6.13. I have 2 simple rest api endpoints. When I remove swagger dependency from pom.xml application doesn't throw any exception. I listed the exception stack down below. I also wrote pom.xml.
jakarta.validation.NoProviderFoundException: Unable to create a Configuration, because no Jakarta Bean Validation provider could be found. Add a provider like Hibernate Validator (RI) to your classpath.

I solved it thanks to Semih Biygit . I don't get this error if I add these two dependencies to pom.xml and remove springdoc-openapi-ui dependency:
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
        <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
    </dependency>

                this solved an issue for me as well, even springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui version 2.0.2 causes the issue, so it should be 2.0.0

I had the same problem and solved it adding this dependency for Spring Boot 3;
 <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
      <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui</artifactId>
      <version>2.0.0</version>
   </dependency>
instead of this dependency;
 <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
      <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-ui</artifactId>
      <version>1.6.13</version>
 </dependency>
                @hadiki8872 You can try adding Spring Boot Validation dependency   <dependency>     <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>     <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>     <version>3.0.0</version> </dependency>

if springfox.documentation.swagger.path=/swagger.json
is present on your application.properties or yaml
delete it and try
If it not work add
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
</dependency>
to your pom.xml
It solve for me
