Spring Boot - Request and Response Handling

A@GetMapping(value = "/data", consumes = "application/json")

B@GetMapping(value = "/data", produces = "application/json")

C@PostMapping(value = "/data", produces = "text/html")

D@RequestMapping(value = "/data", method = GET, consumes = "text/plain")

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand 'produces' vs 'consumes'
'produces' defines the response content type; 'consumes' defines the request content type.
Step 2: Identify correct annotation for JSON response
@GetMapping with produces = "application/json" tells Spring Boot to send JSON data in response.
Final Answer:
@GetMapping(value = "/data", produces = "application/json") -> Option B
Quick Check:
produces = JSON means response is JSON [OK]

Quick Trick: Use 'produces' to set response format [OK]
