It controls both the type of the data member of the resulting message object, and the algorithms used during parsing and serialization. In this table: * `X` is a type meeting the requirements of [*Body]. * `m` is a value of type `message` where `b` is a `bool` value and `F` is a type meeting the requirements of [*Fields]. [table Body requirements [[expression] [type] [semantics, pre/post-conditions]] [ [`X::value_type`] [] [ The type of the `message::body` member. If this is not movable or not copyable, the containing message will be not movable or not copyable. ] ][ [`X::writer`] [] [ If present, indicates that the body can hold a message body parsing result. The type must meet the requirements of __BodyWriter__. The implementation constructs an object of this type to obtain buffers into which parsed body octets are placed. ] ][ [`X::reader`] [] [ If present, indicates that the body is serializable. The type must meet the requirements of __BodyReader__. The implementation constructs an object of this type to obtain buffers representing the message body for serialization. ] ][ [`X::size(m)`] [`std::uint64_t`] [ If present, returns the serialized size of `m.body` not including any chunked transfer encoding. When this function is provided, [link beast.ref.http__message.prepare `message::prepare`] will automatically set the content length field based on the value. Otherwise, the chunked transfer encoding will be set. ] ][ [`is_body`] [`std::true_type`] [ An alias for `std::true_type` for `X`, otherwise an alias for `std::false_type`. ] ] ] Exemplar: ``` struct body { using value_type = implementation_defined; /// The algorithm used for extracting buffers class reader; /// The algorithm used for inserting buffers class writer; /// Returns the body's payload size template static std::uint64_t size(message const& m); } ``` [endsect]
