public class HttpBodyMap extends org.refcodes.struct.CanonicalMapBuilderImpl
The HttpBodyMap type is a "dynamic" type in terms of it's structure being represented by paths'. When a data structure is parsed e.g. from JSON or XML, then the data structure's internal structure and values are reflected by according paths's and values in the HttpBodyMap. The HttpBodyMap is actually a https://www.metacodes.proization of the PathMap using String objects as values and a slash ("/") as path delimiter. Using the HttpBodyMap it is convenient to navigate or address elements from unknown or dynamic data structures. The other way round the HttpBodyMap may be used to construct dynamic data types by adding the according paths's and values for marshaling into e.g. JSON or XML. Think of an HttpBodyMap as a flattened JSON or XML structure. The HttpClientResponse, HttpServerRequest, HttpServerResponse as well as the HttpClientResponse implementations directly support the HttpBodyMap, given that the MediaTypeFactory being used supports marshaling and unmarshaling from and to nested Map instances. The HttpBodyMap acts as a view of the nested Map structures, which are somehow inconvenient to navigate through. The HttpClientRequest.setRequest(Object) implementation supports the HttpBodyMap to marshal an HttpBodyMap into an HTTP Request-Body. The HttpClientResponse.getResponse(Class) implementation supports the HttpBodyMap to unmarshal an HTTP Response-Body into an HttpBodyMap. The HttpServerRequest.getRequest(Class) implementation supports the HttpBodyMap to unmarshal an HTTP Request-Body into an HttpBodyMap. The HttpServerResponse.setResponse(Object) implementation supports the HttpBodyMap to marshal an HttpBodyMap into an HTTP Request-Body.
