The options the REST are annotations that are used to indicate whether a method responds to the HTTP OPTIONS request only. It allows the client of the REST API to determine what HTTP methods (GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE) can be used for the resource identified by the requested URI. The client determines without initiating a resource request.

The REST OPTIONS method is also used for the CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) request.
