public interface BodyAdapter

An object that converts high objects to or from request or response bodies respectively, using a defined format. The two specialized subtypes are BodyAdapter.Encoder and BodyAdapter.Decoder.

A BodyAdapter communicates the format it uses and the set of types it supports through isCompatibleWith(MediaType) and supportsType(TypeRef) respectively. For example, a BodyAdapter that uses JSON is compatible with any application/json media type, and supports any object type supported by the underlying serializer/deserializer.
