Abstract base class for most HttpMessageConverter implementations.

This base class adds support for setting supported MediaTypes, through the supportedMediaTypes bean property. It also adds support for Content-Type and Content-Length when writing to output messages.

Author:Arjen Poutsma, Juergen Hoeller, Sebastien Deleuze
Type parameters:
  • <T> – the converted object type
