Spring Framework Master Class - Java Spring the Modern Way - Step 4-Creating a Simple REST Controller

The video tutorial explains how to create a simple REST service using Java and Spring Boot. It begins with setting up a REST service URI and creating a simple Java bean to represent book data. The tutorial then guides viewers through building a REST controller, mapping GET requests, and returning data in JSON format. Finally, it demonstrates running the server and testing the service, highlighting the ease of creating REST services with Spring Boot without focusing on infrastructure configuration.
