    - #### encodeMessage

          public ByteBuffer encodeMessage​(String message)

      Description copied from interface: `MessageCodec`
      Encodes the specified message into binary.
      Specified by:
        `encodeMessage` in interface `MessageCodec<String>`
      Parameters:
        `message` - the T message, possibly null.
      Returns:
        a ByteBuffer containing the encoding between position 0 and the current position, or null, if message is null.

    - #### decodeMessage

          public String decodeMessage​(ByteBuffer message)

      Description copied from interface: `MessageCodec`
      Decodes the specified message from binary.

      Warning: The ByteBuffer is "direct" and it won't be valid beyond this call. Storing the ByteBuffer and using it later and will lead to a `java.nio.BufferUnderflowException`. If you want to retain the data you'll need to copy it.

      Specified by:
        `decodeMessage` in interface `MessageCodec<String>`
      Parameters:
        `message` - the `ByteBuffer` message, possibly null.
      Returns:
        a T value representation of the bytes between the given buffer's current position and its limit, or null, if message is null.
