curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8080/
This should return a response as follows:
[{"id":1,"title":"Article 1","content":"Article 1 body"},{"id":2,"title":"Article 2","content":"Article 2 body"}]
As you can see, our request got a response in the JSON format because we set the Acceptheader to application/json.
