All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterable<HttpMessageConverter<?>>

public class HttpMessageConverters extends Object implements Iterable<HttpMessageConverter<?>>
Bean used to manage the HttpMessageConverters used in a Spring Boot application. Provides a convenient way to add and merge additional HttpMessageConverters to a web application.

An instance of this bean can be registered with specific additional converters if needed, otherwise default converters will be used.

NOTE: The default converters used are the same as standard Spring MVC (see WebMvcConfigurationSupport) with some slight re-ordering to put XML converters at the back of the list.
