Answer
They map HTTP requests to controller methods.
In Spring Boot, annotations with RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME are crucial for defining REST endpoints. They allow the framework to map incoming HTTP requests to specific controller methods dynamically. Without runtime annotations, the framework wouldn't be able to configure routes based on the annotated metadata, breaking the RESTful API functionality.
