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.
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.
A certain world event being a 3rd party piece of software having a bad update.
