  - ### Method Detail

    - #### decoder

          static <T> GrpcMessageDecoder<T> decoder​(com.google.protobuf.Parser<T> parser)

      Create a decoder for a given protobuf `Parser`.
      Parameters:
        `parser` - the parser that returns decoded messages of type `<T>`
      Returns:
        the message decoder

    - #### json

          static <T> GrpcMessageDecoder<T> json​(java.util.function.Supplier<com.google.protobuf.Message.Builder> builder)

      Create a decoder for a given protobuf `Parser`.
      Parameters:
        `builder` - the supplier of a message builder
      Returns:
        the message decoder

    - #### json

          static <T> GrpcMessageDecoder<T> json​(Class<T> clazz)

      Create a decoder in JSON format decoding to instances of the `clazz` using `Json.decodeValue(Buffer, Class)` (Jackson Databind is required).
      Parameters:
        `clazz` - the java type to decode
      Returns:
        a decoder that decodes messages to instance of `clazz` in JSON format.

    - #### decode

          T decode​(GrpcMessage msg)
            throws CodecException

      Throws:
        `CodecException`
