RestController

@Target([AnnotationTarget.CLASS, AnnotationTarget.FILE]) @Controller @ResponseBody class RestController

A convenience annotation that is itself annotated with Controller and ResponseBody.

Types that carry this annotation are treated as controllers where RequestMapping methods assume ResponseBody semantics by default.

NOTE: @RestController is processed if an appropriate HandlerMapping-HandlerAdapter pair is configured such as the RequestMappingHandlerMapping-RequestMappingHandlerAdapter pair which are the default in the MVC Java config and the MVC namespace.
