==== The @RestController and @RequestMapping annotations
The first annotation on our `Example` class is `@RestController`. This is known as a
_stereotype_ annotation. It provides hints for people reading the code, and for Spring,
that the class plays a specific role. In this case, our class is a web `@Controller` so
Spring will consider it when handling incoming web requests.
The `@RequestMapping` annotation provides ``routing'' information. It is telling Spring
that any HTTP request with the path "`/`" should be mapped to the `home` method. The
additional `@ResponseBody` annotation tells Spring to render the resulting string directly
`@RestController` annotation tells Spring to render the resulting string directly
back to the caller.
TIP: The `@Controller`, `@RequestMapping` and `@ResponseBody` annotations are Spring MVC
TIP: The `@RestController` and`@RequestMapping` annotations are Spring MVC
annotations (they are not specific to Spring Boot). See the
<{spring-reference}/#mvc>[MVC section] in the Spring
Reference Documentation for more details.

To help reduce the size of your Groovy code, several `import` statements are
