DataSerializationOptions

const RestClient::RestClient::DataSerializationOptions

Initial value:

= {
            "auto": True,
%ifndef NoJson
            "json": True,
%endif
%ifndef NoYaml
            "yaml": True,
%endif
%ifndef NoXml
            "rawxml": True,
            "xml": True,
%endif
            "url": True,
            "text": True,
            "bin": True,
        }

Data serialization options; this is a hash to simulate a set of strings.

Data serialization options are as follows:

• "auto": prefers in this order: json, yaml, rawxml, xml, url, and text
• "bin": for binary message bodies without data serialization
• "json": use only JSON serialization
• "rawxml": use raw XML serialization
• "text": use only plain text. No serialization is used.
• "url": for URL-encoded message bodies
• "xml": use only XML-RPC serialization
• "yaml": use only YAML serialization

EncodingSupport

const RestClient::RestClient::EncodingSupport

Initial value:

= {
            "gzip": {
                "ce": "gzip",
                "func": \gzip(),
            },
            "bzip2": {
                "ce": "bzip2",
                "func": \bzip2(),
            },
            "deflate": {
                "ce": "deflate",
                "func": \compress(),
            },
            "identity": {
                "ce": NOTHING,
            },
        }

Send content encoding options.

Send content encoding options are as follows:

• "bzip": use bzip2 compression
• "gzip": use gzip compression
• "deflate": use deflate compression
• "identity": use no content encoding
