What is spring boot rest?

  • Spring boot rest API is the intermediary programming interface of applications that enabled us to communicate two applications with each other.
  • It is a more common approach to build web services because using rest to develop web services is too easy.
  • Using spring boot rest, it is possible to develop the backward-compatible API; if suppose we have developed API in java version 14, by using it, we can run this API in java 13.
  • Web services are conforming the architectural style, which was called rest web services.
  • Rest services is allowing for the requesting system to manipulate and access the web resource’s textual representation by using the predefined and uniform set of operations.
  • Using spring boot rest, we can implement a widely used and scalable application. We can use the rest service with spring boot to develop the scalable application.
  • To create the project using spring boot rest, first, we need to add the dependency in our project code.

Rest services with spring

  • Rest in spring is quickly become the standard of de facto, which was used to develop web services on the internet or web because spring rest web services are easy to build and consume.
  • To develop rest services with spring is very easy using step by step; we can create rest services with spring. To develop rest services is very easy we can implement rest services in spring from version 3.0 and later.
  • Below are the characteristics of rest services with spring are as follows.
  • The first and most important characteristic of rest services in spring is stateless.
  • Using rest services with spring, we can apply caching on resources whenever applicable.
  • Using rest services with spring, we can develop a uniform interface of API.
  • We can involve client application and server application separately by using the rest services with spring.
  • Rest services with spring is allowing us to use the architecture of the layered system.
  • We have developed the rest services with spring using XML and JSON. JSON is a very popular format to develop rest services by using spring.
  • Key abstraction is the resource which was we have used in spring web services. We can use any resource to develop API using rest services with spring.
  • Rest services with spring is accessed by using a uniform resource identifier.

Getting Started spring boot rest

  • We can implement the project using a spring initializer and add the following dependencies as we get started with the rest.
  1. Web
  2. JPA
  3. H2
  • After selecting all the dependencies, we need to generate the project. After generating the project in a zip file, we need to unzip it and need to open it using the spring tool suite.
  • We can use any IDE tool like spring tool suite, Net beans, and eclipse to open a project.
  • We need the following software to develop applications using the spring tool suite are as follows.
  1. JDK 1.8 or later
  2. Maven 3.2 +
  3. Spring boot 2.4 or later
  4. Spring tool suite or Eclipse
  • To develop the application using the spring boot test, we need to use spring boot and develop a project using maven.

Restful web service annotations

  • Below is the annotation of restful web services is as follows.
  1. @Get
  2. @Produces
  3. @Path
  4. @PathParam
  5. @QueryParam
  6. @Post
  7. @Consumes
  8. @FormParam
  9. @Put
  10. @Delete
  11. @Head
  12. @CokieParam
  13. @Options
  14. @HeaderParam
  • Get annotation method will identify the URI path. PathParam annotation represents the URI path.
  • Get, put, head, delete, options, and the post will respond to the specified request. Consumes annotation will be defining the media type.

Code

Below example code shows the example of rest is as follows.

  • Create project template using spring initializer –

Group – com.example
Artifact name – spring-boot-rest
Name – spring-boot- rest
Description – Project of spring-boot- rest
Package name – com.example.spring-boot- rest
Packaging – Jar
Java – 11
Dependencies – spring web.

  • After generating project extract files and open this project by using spring tool suite –

  • Add the dependency

Code 

<dependency>   -- Start of dependency tag.
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>   -- Start and end of groupId tag.
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>  -- Start and end of artifactId tag.
</dependency>    -- End of dependency tag.

  • Create model class

Code  

public class Product
{
private int product_id;
public Product()
{
}
public Product(int product_id)
{
super();
this.product_id = product_id;
}
public int getId ()
{
return product_id;
}
public void setId (int product_id)
{
this.product_id = product_id;
}
}

output 5

  • Create controller

Code 

@RestController
public class ProductController
{
@Autowired
private IProductService productService;
@GetMapping(value = "/product")
public List<Product> getProduct ()
{
List<Product> products = productService.findAll ();
return products;
}
}

output 6

  • Create interface

Code 

public interface IProductService
{
List<Product> findAll();
}

output 7

  • Create service class

Code 

public class ProductService implements IProductService
{
@Override
public List<Product> findAll()
{
ArrayList<Product> products = new ArrayList<Product>();
products.add (new Product(100));
products.add (new Product(101));
products.add (new Product(102));
return products;
}
}

output 8

  • Create HTML file

Code 

<head>
<title>Home page</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>

output 9

  • Run the application –

output 10

  • Check output on browser –
