关于Spring MVC中@ResponseBody怎么知道我需要什么类型

@ResponseBody注解在 method上具体返回什么类型的数据流（json、xml等）主要有两个方面决定的：1. 是否有对应的第三方jar包出现在classpath，比如jackson jar、jaxb2
jar，如果只存在spring mvc就会注册对应的HttpMessageConvert（将return
obj写为response的流是靠httpMessageConvert的实现类来完成的） 2.
有@RequestMapping注解的consumes具体的mediaTypes和http请求的accept能结束的mime
type来联合决定。
有这两点决定@ResponseBody注解的返回值的返回流的类型具体的实现参见
RequestResponseBodyMthodProcessor，java中，具体的写流实现如下在
AbstractMessageConverterMethodProcessor.writeWithMessageConverters()来实现
的。具体代码：
/**
* Writes the given return type to the given output message.
*
* @param returnValue the value to write to the output message
* @param returnType the type of the value
* @param inputMessage the input messages. Used to inspect the {@code Accept} header.
* @param outputMessage the output message to write to
* @throws IOException thrown in case of I/O errors
* @throws HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException thrown when the conditions indicated by {@code Accept} header on
* the request cannot be met by the message converters
*/

for (MediaType r : requestedMediaTypes) {
for (MediaType p : producibleMediaTypes) {
