HeaderCodec<T extends Object> class sealed

A specialized codec for HTTP headers that defines conversion between a typed value T and its string representation in headers.

This interface extends the generic _Codec by specializing the storage type to Iterable<String>, which represents how multiple header values can be stored for a single header name.

The interface provides two methods:

• decode: Converts from header string values to the typed value T
• encode: Converts from the typed value T to header string values

Two factory constructors are provided:

• HeaderCodec: For handling headers that need to process multiple values
• HeaderCodec.single: For simpler headers that only need to process a single value

Constructors

HeaderCodec(T decode(Iterable<String> encoded), Iterable<String> encode(T decoded))

Factory constructor for creating a HeaderCodec that processes multiple values.

HeaderCodec.single(T singleDecode(String), Iterable<String> encode(T))

Factory constructor for creating a HeaderCodec that processes a single value.
