Spring: @ModelAttribute VS @RequestBody

Question

Please correct me if I am wrong. Both can be used for Data Binding.

The question is when to use @ModelAttribute?

@RequestMapping(val         


        

Answer 1

The simplest way for my understanding is, the @ModelAttribute will take a query string. so, all the data are being pass to the server through the url.

As for @RequestBody, all the data will be pass to the server through a full JSON body.
