Problem: whenever server returns new unsupported by client enum value it's a breaking changes, as
ResponseReader
tries to map raw string value to appropriate generated enum constant by.valueOf
.Proposal: to have a fallback value called
$UNKNOWN
, so that any unsupported by client enum value is mapped to it. This will allow to handle such case gracefully.Examples:
