## Detailed Description

A type for representation of HTTP method ID.

RESTinio uses http_parser for working with HTTP-protocol. HTTP-methods in http_parser are identified by `int`s like HTTP_GET, HTTP_POST and so on.

Usage of plain `int` is error prone. So since v.0.5.0 RESTinio contain type http_method_id_t as type for ID of HTTP method.

An instance of http_method_id_t contains two values:

- integer identifier from http_parser (like HTTP_GET, HTTP_POST and so on);
- a string representation of HTTP method ID (like "GET", "POST", "DELETE" and so on).

There is an important requirement for user-defined HTTP method IDs: a pointer to string representation of HTTP method ID must outlive the instance of http_method_id_t. It means that is safe to use string literals or static strings, for example:

constexpr const restinio::http_method_id_t my_http_method(255, "MY-METHOD");
restinio::http_method_id_t
A type for representation of HTTP method ID.
Definition: http_headers.hpp:1744

Note
  Instances of http_method_id_t can't be used in switch() operator. For example, you can't write that way:
  const int method_id = ...;
  switch(method_id) {
  case restinio::http_method_get(): ...; break;
  case restinio::http_method_post(): ...; break;
  case restinio::http_method_delete(): ...; break;
  }
  In that case raw_id() method can be used:
  const int method_id = ...;
  switch(method_id) {
  case restinio::http_method_get().raw_id(): ...; break;
  case restinio::http_method_post().raw_id(): ...; break;
  case restinio::http_method_delete().raw_id(): ...; break;
  }

Since
  v.0.5.0
