public interface BaseExchange<A extends ExchangeContext>

Base HTTP exchange (request/response) for representing server or client exchanges.

An HTTP exchange basically comes down to a request and a response being exchanged between a client and a server. In a client exchange, the client sends the request to the server and receives the response from the server. In a server exchange, the server receives the request from the client and sends the response to the client.

A context is also attached to every exchange to provide contextual data and operation during during the processing of the exchange.
