@ResponseBody defines that Endpoint returns Data. (this tutorial is identical to "Return - Text")
This means that we are not feeding return value into some Template. (like HTML, JSP, Thymeleaf)
Instead return value should be returned directly through HTTP Response. (Text or Object Serialized as JSON)
If Endpoint returns an Object it gets Deserialized. (It is returned as JSON)
