Why does @GetMapping have a 'consumes' attribute?

Question

In spring framework, @GetMapping doesn't have a body. But it has a 'consumes' attribute. So how does it use this attribute without a body?

example:

@GetMapping(value = "/methodA", consumes = "application/json")

you can send GET with body https://stackoverflow.com/questions/978061/http-get-with-request-body — Ori Marko, Jan 03 '22 at 05:23

You can read queryParam/Request HTTP header as below:

@GetMapping(value = "{URL}")
public ResponseEntity getMethod(@RequestParam("consumes") String consumes) {
        return ResponseEntity.ok().build();
}

Thanks for the answer. But this was not what I meant. I added an example to the question to be more clear. – nonder Jan 05 '22 at 06:11
