Rest_Controller_Annotation_in_Spring_boot

@RestController is an annotation in Spring Boot used to create RESTful web services, simplifying API development by eliminating the need for explicit response conversion. It combines the functionalities of @Controller and @ResponseBody, allowing all methods in the class to return JSON/XML responses without additional annotations. Introduced in Spring 4, it reduces boilerplate code and enhances the convenience of RESTful development.

Placement: 

Used at the class level to define a RESTful


controller. Placed above a class that
handles HTTP requests, ensuring all
methods within the class return JSON/XML
responses.

Wrapping Up: 

The @RestController annotation was


introduced in Spring 4 to simplify REST API
development. Before its introduction,
developers had to use @Controller along
with @ResponseBody on each method to
return JSON or XML responses. It helps
reducing boilerplate code and making
RESTful development more convenient.
