    Proper HTTP implementations in proper languages utilize header-name enums for strict checking/matching, and for performance by e.g. skipping unnecessary string allocations, not keeping known strings around, …etc. Every standard header name will have to added as a variant to such enums, and its string representation as a constant/static.

    Not sure how you thought that shares equivalency with random JSON field names.

      Proper HTTP implementations in proper languages utilize header-name enums for strict checking/matching (…)

      I don’t know what you are talking about.

      Java provides java.lang.Object.HttpHeaders, which is a constants class that provides static final String fields for the popular request and response headers.

      .NET does the exact same thing with it’s class Microsoft.Net.Http.Headers.HeaderNames.

      I can go on and on.

        You just referenced two languages that don’t have proper sum types. lol.

        Also mentioning Microsoft tech while a certain world event is taking place right now. lol.

          You’re complained about “Proper HTTP implementations in proper languages”.

          I provided two concrete examples of two of the most popular and production-grade programming language ever developed.

          I can provide more.

          You then tried to weasel out by moving your goal post from “Proper HTTP implementations in proper languages” to “languages that don’t have proper sum types”.

          I won’t waste more of my time with you. Whatever you’re posting lacks relevance and does not justify any attention from anyone.
