Binding requests and marshalling responses
This recipe explains how to configure Spring MVC for REST handlers to be as integrated as possible with their business domain. We focus on designing self-explanatory method handlers, externalized type conversions, and abstracted response marshalling (serialization to specific formats such as json, xml, csv, and so on).
Getting ready
