Encoders

<p>
	The {@link oajr.annotation.Rest#encoders @Rest(encoders)} annotation can 
	be used to associate character encoders with a servlet class.
	Encoders can be used to enable various kinds of compression (e.g. <l>"gzip"</l>) on requests and responses 
	based on the request <l>Accept-Encoding</l> and <l>Content-Encoding</l> headers.
</p>

<h5 class='figure'>Example:</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<jc>// Servlet with automated support for GZIP compression</jc>
	<ja>@Rest</ja>(encoders={GzipEncoder.<jk>class</jk>})
	<jk>public</jk> MyRestServlet <jk>extends</jk> BasicRestServlet {
		...
	}
</p>
<p>
	Juneau defines the following encoders out-of-the-box:
</p>
<ul class='javatree'>
	<li class='jac'>
	{@link oaj.encoders.Encoder}
	<ul>
		<li class='jc'>
			{@link oaj.encoders.GzipEncoder}
		<li class='jc'>
			{@link oaj.encoders.IdentityEncoder}
	</ul>
</ul>

<ul class='seealso'>
	<li class='jf'>{@link oajr.RestContext#REST_encoders}
</ul>
