How Spring MVC Handles an Incoming HTTP Request
- 1. Browser sends GET request to
http://localhost:8080/api/users.
- 2.
DispatcherServlet intercepts the request.
- 3. Finds the matching `@RestController` method.
- 4. Controller executes business logic and returns Java object.
- 5. Jackson library automatically converts Java Object into JSON response!
