Invoked when {@link * Response#status()} is in the 2xx range and the return type is neither {@code void} nor {@code * Response}. * *

Example Implementation:
* *

* *

 * public class GsonDecoder implements Decoder {
 *   private final Gson gson = new Gson();
 *
 *   @Override
 *   public Object decode(Response response, Type type) throws IOException {
 *     try {

 *     } catch (JsonIOException e) {
 *       if (e.getCause() != null &&
 *           e.getCause() instanceof IOException) {
 *         throw IOException.class.cast(e.getCause());
 *       }
 *       throw e;
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *
* *

Implementation Note

* * The {@code type} parameter will correspond to the {@link * java.lang.reflect.Method#getGenericReturnType() generic return type} of an {@link * feign.Target#type() interface} processed by {@link feign.Feign#newInstance(feign.Target)}. When * writing your implementation of Decoder, ensure you also test parameterized types such as {@code * List}.
* *

Note on exception propagation

* * Exceptions thrown by {@link Decoder}s get wrapped in a {@link DecodeException} unless they are a * subclass of {@link FeignException} already, and unless the client was configured with {@link * Feign.Builder#dismiss404()}. */ public interface Decoder { /** * Decodes an http response into an object corresponding to its {@link * java.lang.reflect.Method#getGenericReturnType() generic return type}.
