In this post, we will learn how to create rest service using spring boot

What is Rest Service

REST is Web services which is lightweight, maintainable, and scalable in nature.
The underlying protocol for REST is HTTP, which is the basic web protocol. REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer

What You Will learn

End of this tutorial, you will learn to create a spring boot application with Rest service

Rest Service Annotation

// This annotation used to mention a class as Controller class
@RestController

// Here we are using this to retrieve value
@GetMapping

application.properties

server.port=8080

Dependency

<parent>

  <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>                                          
  <relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->                   
</parent>

<dependency>

<dependencyManagement>                                                      
  <dependencies>                                                            
    <dependency>                                                            
      <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>                          
      <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>                    
      <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>                            
      <type>pom</type>                                                      
      <scope>import</scope>                                                 
    </dependency>                                                           
  </dependencies>                                                           
</dependencyManagement> 

Sample Code

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

// This annotation used to mention a class as Controller class
@RestController
public class StudentController {

	// To Retrieve we can use Get method
	@GetMapping
	public String getName() {
		return "BeginnersBug";
	}
}

In above example we are using a simple method to retrieve a hard coded value from spring boot rest service

@RestController

This annotation is the combination of @Controller and @ResponseBody. Which will mention particular class as a Controller class

@GetMapping

This annotation for mapping HTTP GET requests onto specific handler methods.

@PostMapping

This annotation for mapping HTTP POST requests onto specific handler methods.
Note : Here we didn’t used this annotation
