/**
 * Declares a strategy of header name formation based on Java model field name analysis.
 *
 * 
 * By default, the {@link MappingStrategy#CAPITALIZE_WITH_HYPHEN} strategy is used.
 * Thus, by using this strategy, the {@code 'Header-Name'} name header corresponds to the {@code 'headerName'} field name.
 *
 * 

 * The RxMicro framework uses the following algorithm to define the HTTP header name for the specified model field:
 * 

 *     
 *          If the field is annotated by the {@link Header} annotation with an explicit indication of the HTTP header name,
 *          the specified name is used.
 *     
 *     
 *          If no HTTP header name is specified in the {@link Header} annotation, the RxMicro framework checks for the
 *          {@link HeaderMappingStrategy} annotation above the model class.
 *     
 *     
 *          If the model class is annotated by the {@link HeaderMappingStrategy} annotation, then the specified naming strategy is used.
 *          (The field name is used as the basic name, and then, following the rules of the specified strategy,
 *          the HTTP header name is generated.)
 *     
 *     
 *          If the {@link HeaderMappingStrategy} annotation is missing, the model class field name is used as the HTTP header name.
