The Deprecation HTTP response header field is used to signal to consumers of a resource (in the sense of URI) that the resource will be or has been deprecated. Additionally, the deprecation link relation can be used to link to a resource that provides additional information about planned or existing deprecation, and possibly ways in which clients can best manage deprecation.

    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.
