/**
 * Binds the value(s) of a form parameter contained within a request entity body to a resource method parameter. Values
 * are URL decoded unless this is disabled using the {@link Encoded} annotation. A default value can be specified using
 * the {@link DefaultValue} annotation. If the request entity body is absent or is an unsupported media type, the
 * default value is used.
 *
 * The type {@code T} of the annotated parameter must either:
 * 

 * 
Be a primitive type
 * 
Have a constructor that accepts a single {@code String} argument
 * 
Have a static method named {@code valueOf} or {@code fromString} that accepts a single {@code String} argument
 * (see, for example, {@link Integer#valueOf(String)})
 * 
Have a registered implementation of {@link jakarta.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverterProvider} JAX-RS extension SPI that
 * returns a {@link jakarta.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverter} instance capable of a "from string" conversion for the type.
 * 
Be {@code List}, {@code Set} or {@code SortedSet}, where {@code T} satisfies 2, 3 or 4 above. The
 * resulting collection is read-only.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If the type is not one of the collection types listed in 5 above and the form parameter is represented by multiple
 * values then the first value (lexically) of the parameter is used.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If this annotation is used to bind form parameters, a JAX-RS implementation MUST use the entity provider API
 * to create a {@link jakarta.ws.rs.core.Form} and derive the values from this instance. If there is at least one
 * {@link FormParam} for a resource method, JAX-RS implementations MUST support a {@link jakarta.ws.rs.core.Form}
 * entity parameter for the same method. Support for other entity parameter types is OPTIONAL.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Note that, whilst the annotation target permits use on fields and methods, this annotation is only required to be
 * supported on resource method parameters.
