  // which makes it easy to validate that the expected parameters exist.

    // automatically send a response notifying the client that the request
    // was invalid.

    // request.

  // To give you time to register all your methods, the server won't start
  // listening for requests until you call `listen`. Messages are buffered until
  // listen is called. The returned Future won't complete until the connection
  // is closed.
