created opportunities (such as annotated REST controllers or unit tests), the addition of lambda expressions in Java 8 created opportunities for functional APIs in Java. This is a boon for non-blocking applications fun addPet(@RequestBody pet: Pet) { // ... } The consumes attribute also supports negation expressions — for example, !text/plain means any content type other than text/plain. You can declare a shared getPet(@PathVariable petId: String): Pet { // ... } The media type can specify a character set. Negated expressions are supported — for example, !text/plain means any content type other than text/plain. You can

You can declare a shared to narrow the mapping by the content type. The media type can specify a character set.
