.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
HTTP::Entity::Parser is a PSGI-compliant \s-1HTTP\s0 Entity parser. This module also is compatible
with HTTP::Body. Unlike HTTP::Body, HTTP::Entity::Parser reads \s-1HTTP\s0 entities from
\&\s-1PSGI\s0's environment \f(CW\*(C`$env\->{\*(Aqpsgi.input\*(Aq}\*(C'\fR and parses it.
This module supports application/x\-www\-form\-urlencoded, multipart/form\-data and application/json.
