[section:Body Body]
A [*Body] type is supplied as a template argument to the __message__ class. 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<b, X, F>` 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<X>`]
[`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<bool isRequest, class Fields>
static
std::uint64_t
size(message<isRequest, empty_body, Fields> const& m);
}
```
