Interface HttpMessageConverters

All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<HttpMessageConverter<?>>

public interface HttpMessageConverters
extends Iterable<HttpMessageConverter<?>>

Utility for building and configuring an immutable collection of HttpMessageConverter instances for client or server usage. You can ask to register default converters with classpath detection and override specific converters that were detected. Custom converters can be independently added in front of default ones. Finally, default and custom converters can be configured.
