@Controller vs.

@RestController
The key difference between @Controller vs. @RestController is how the HTTP
response is getting created.
In Spring MVC, @RestController = @Controller + @ResponseBody
Any method annotated with @ResponseBody, spring automatically convert the
return value and written into HTTP response body
@Controller is to create a Map of model object and find a view
@Controller
@RequestMapping("customer")
public class Customer {
Customer customer = new Customer ();
@RequestMapping(value = "/{name}", method = RequestMethod.GET, produce
s = "application/json")
public @ResponseBody Customer getCustomer(@PathVariable String name) {
customer.setName(name);
customer.setEmail("[email protected]");
return customer;
}
}

@Target(value=TYPE)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Component
public @interface Controller

Using @RestController
@RestController simply returns the object and object data is directly written into
HTTP response as JSON or XML.
Spring v4.0 onwards
@RestController
@RequestMapping("customer")
public class Customer {
Customer customer = new Customer ();
@RequestMapping(value = "/{name}", method = RequestMethod.GET, produce
s = "application/json")
public Customer getCustomer(@PathVariable String name) {
customer.setName(name);
customer.setEmail("[email protected]");
return customer;
}
}

Declaration of @RestController looks like


@Target(value=TYPE)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Controller
@ResponseBody
public @interface RestController
