Functional endpoint

Spring Framework 5 supports functional programming models for reactive web applications with WebFlux. This is an alternative to using the Spring MVC-style annotated controller. The functional style programming in Spring WebFlux uses the following essential components:

• HandlerFunction: It is used to handle the request. It is an alternative to the Spring MVC controller handler methods and works similar to it. 
• RouterFunction: It is used to route incoming HTTP requests. RouterFunction is an alternative to using request mapping with the @RequestMapping annotation and works similar to it.
