RequestMapping is a class level   GetMapping is a method-level  With sprint Spring 4 3  and up things have changed  Now you can use  GetMapping on the method that will handle the http request  The class-level  RequestMapping specification is refined with the  method-level  GetMapping annotation  Here is an example    Slf4j  Controller  RequestMapping   orders     The  Request-Mapping annotation  when applied                             at the class level  specifies the kind of requests                              that this controller handles      public class OrderController     GetMapping   current     GetMapping paired with the classlevel                          RequestMapping  specifies that when an                          HTTP GET request is received for  order                           orderForm   will be called to handle the request      public String orderForm Model model     model addAttribute  order   new Order      return  orderForm         Prior to Spring 4 3  it was  RequestMapping method RequestMethod GET   Extra reading from a book authored by Craig Walls

Short answer   There is no difference in semantic      Specifically   GetMapping is a composed annotation that acts as a   shortcut for  RequestMapping method   RequestMethod GET     Further reading   RequestMapping can be used at class level      This annotation can be used both at the class and at the method level    In most cases  at the method level applications will prefer to use one   of the HTTP method specific variants  GetMapping   PostMapping     PutMapping   DeleteMapping  or  PatchMapping    while GetMapping only applies to method      Annotation for mapping HTTP GET requests onto specific handler   methods      https   docs spring io spring-framework docs current javadoc-api org springframework web bind annotation GetMapping html  https   docs spring io spring-framework docs current javadoc-api org springframework web bind annotation RequestMapping html
