- Checks if this ContentHandler object is capable of decoding content.
- can_encode() : bool
- Checks if this ContentHandler object is capable of encoding content.
- decode() : mixed
- Obtains and decodes the content from the format corresponding with this ContentHandler's MIME type.
- encode() : mixed
- Encodes the provided content into the format corresponding with this ContentHandler's MIME type and sets the Content-Type and Content-Length response headers accordingly.
- get_class_fqn() : string
- Obtains the fully qualified name of the called class.
- get_class_shortname() : string
- Obtains the shortname of the called class.
- get_classes_in_namespace() : array<string|int, mixed>
- Obtains all classes associated with this class's current namespace.
- get_content() : mixed
- Obtains the content from the remote client in its unprocessed form.
- get_decode_handler() : ContentHandler
- Obtains a decode-capable ContentHandler for the MIME type provided via the HTTP Content-Type header.
- get_decode_mime_type() : string
- Obtains the MIME type from the HTTP Content-Type header. The Content-Type header controls which ContentHandler will be used to decode request data sent by the remote client. If no content-header was specified, the API will assume a default of application/x-www-form-urlencoded for GET and DELETE requests and a default of application/json for POST, PUT and PATCH requests.
- get_encode_handler() : ContentHandler
- Obtains an encode-capable ContentHandler for the MIME type provided via the HTTP Accept header.
- get_encode_mime_type() : string
- Obtains the MIME type from the HTTP Accept header or assumes the default if no Accept header is specified. The Accept header controls which ContentHandler will be used to encode API responses.
- log_error() : void
- Logs an error to the syslog.
- _decode() : mixed
- Decodes the given content from JSON.
- _encode() : mixed
- Encodes the given content as JSON.
