All Implemented Interfaces:
HttpMessageConverter<MultiValueMap<String,String>>

public class FormHttpMessageConverter
extends AbstractHttpMessageConverter<MultiValueMap<String,String>>

Implementation of HttpMessageConverter that can read and write form data.

By default, this converter reads and writes the media type (application/x-www-form-urlencoded). This can be overridden by setting the supportedMediaTypes property. Form data is read from and written into a MultiValueMap<String, String>.
