- - ### Method Detail

    - #### string

          static BodyCodec<String> string()

      Returns:
        the UTF-8 string codec

    - #### string

          static BodyCodec<String> string(String encoding)

      A codec for strings using a specific `encoding`.
      Parameters:
        `encoding` - the encoding
      Returns:
        the codec

    - #### buffer

          static BodyCodec<Buffer> buffer()

      Returns:
        the `Buffer` codec

    - #### jsonObject

          static BodyCodec<JsonObject> jsonObject()

      Returns:
        the `JsonObject` codec

    - #### jsonArray

          static BodyCodec<JsonArray> jsonArray()

      Returns:
        the `JsonArray` codec

    - #### json

          static <U> BodyCodec<U> json(Class<U> type)

      Create and return a codec for Java objects encoded using Jackson mapper.
      Returns:
        a codec for mapping POJO to Json

    - #### none

          static BodyCodec<Void> none()

      Returns:
        a codec that simply discards the response

    - #### create

          static <T> BodyCodec<T> create(java.util.function.Function<Buffer,T> decode)

      Create a codec that buffers the entire body and then apply the `decode` function and returns the result.
      Parameters:
        `decode` - the decode function
      Returns:
        the created codec

    - #### pipe

          static BodyCodec<Void> pipe(WriteStream<Buffer> stream)

      A body codec that pipes the body to a write stream.

      Same as pipe(stream, true).
      Parameters:
        `stream` - the destination tream
      Returns:
        the body codec for a write stream

    - #### pipe

          static BodyCodec<Void> pipe(WriteStream<Buffer> stream,
                                      boolean close)

      A body codec that pipes the body to a write stream.
      Parameters:
        `stream` - the destination stream
        `close` - whether the destination stream should be closed
      Returns:
        the body codec for a write stream

    - #### create

          void create(Handler<AsyncResult<BodyStream<T>>> handler)

      Create the `BodyStream`.

      This method is usually called for creating the pump for the HTTP response and should not be called directly.
