Enum ContentType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<ContentType>

    public enum ContentType
    extends Enum<ContentType>
    Enumeration of common IANA content-types. This may be used to specify a request or response content-type more easily than specifying the full string each time. i.e.
     http.request( GET, JSON ) {...}
    Is roughly equivalent to:
     http.request( GET, 'application/json' )
    The only difference being, equivalent content-types (i.e. application/xml and text/xml are all added to the request's Accept header. By default, all equivalent content-types are handled the same by the EncoderRegistry and ParserRegistry as well.

      • values

        public static ContentType[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (ContentType c : ContentType.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static ContentType valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
