Spring MVC - What is responsible for routing the controller response to the template?

Question

I started developing a Spring MVC + Thymeleaf (for the V) recently and I'm trying to understand how it works.

Let's say I have a controller method like this:

@RequestMapping(value = "/")
public String index() {
    return "home";
}

And a template called home.html.

What is reponsible for routing the controller to the respective view? Is it thymeleaf? Or the Spring framework?

Thank you

I am not agree with Rayan M. Please go through this link which describe the Views and View Resolvers in Thymeleaf — Bacteria

Which view resolver(s) are active and where they look for templates is customizable based on your individual Spring configuration.
