All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.util.List<java.lang.String>>, MultiValueMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ReadOnlyHttpHeaders, ServletServerHttpResponse.ServletResponseHttpHeaders, WebSocketHttpHeaders
```
public class HttpHeaders
extends java.lang.Object
implements MultiValueMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>, java.io.Serializable
```
A data structure representing HTTP request or response headers, mapping String header names to a list of String values, also offering accessors for common application-level data types.
In addition to the regular methods defined by Map, this class offers many common convenience methods, for example:
- getFirst(String) returns the first value associated with a given header name
- add(String, String) adds a header value to the list of values for a header name
- set(String, String) sets the header value to a single string value
Note that HttpHeaders generally treats header names in a case-insensitive manner.
Since:

3.0
