@GetMapping

Learn how to create a GET mapping in the REST service that returns a list of POJOs as JSON.

We'll cover the following

1. Defining the PlayerService class

The dispatcher servlet handles the request and if the request has JSON data, the HttpMessageConverter converts it to Java objects. The request is mapped to a controller which calls service layer methods. The service layer delegates the call to repository and returns the data as POJO. The MessageConverter converts the data to JSON and it is sent back to the client. The flow of request is shown below:
