1：@RestController

那么这个注解和@Controller有什么区别？
嗯哼，事情开始变得有意思起来了

1. Controller, RestController的共同点

     都是用来表示spring某个类的是否可以接收HTTP请求

2.  Controller, RestController的不同点

     @Controller标识一个Spring类是Spring MVC controller处理器

     @RestController： @RestController是@Controller和@ResponseBody的结合体，两个标注合并起来的作用。

下面是@RestController的源码，看了之后你会更清晰的看出来他们之间的区别

这里需要注意一点：当你在springboot中使用模板模式返回一个字符串去匹配对应的页面的时候，方法所在的类是不能使用@RestController而应该使用@Controller，为什么？看上面。当然，如果http请求是通过ajax发送到服务端，还是要使用@RestController注解的。
