+HTTP
+----
+
+# HTTP Header name and value
+
+Abstraction of a single header name (`Connection`), or a header value (`Connection: keep-alive`).
+
+
+## Types
+
+- `Http.HeaderName` - abstraction of a name of a header (such as `Content-Length`)
+- `Http.HeaderNames` - constants with "known" header names (such as `HeaderNames.CONTENT_LENGTH`)
+- `Http.Header` - abstraction of a header with a value (such as `Content-Length: 0`)
+- `Http.Headers` - constants with commonly used headers with values (such as `Headers.CONTENT_LENGTH_ZERO`)
+
+Internal types:
+- `Http.HeaderNameEnum` - "known" headers, optimized for performance in header containers
+- `Http.HeaderNameImpl` - custom headers 
+
+## Factory methods
+
+Factory methods to create header names and values are located on their relevant type that contains constants (aligned
+   with how we treat `MediaTypes`:
+
+Header names:
+1. `Http.HeaderNames.create(String)` - create a header name from the provided name (uses known header if possible)
+2. `Http.HeaderNames.create(String, String)` - create a header name (optimized) with lower case and name
+3. `Http.HeaderNames.createFromLowercase(String)` - create a header name when we have a guaranteed lowercase name (such as in HTTP/2)
+
+Headers (name and value):
+1. `Http.Headers.create(....)` - create a header with the provided name and value
+2. `Http.Headers.createCached(...)` - create a header that caches its HTTP/1.1 bytes (optimization for heavily used headers)
+
+Methods with `changing` and `sensitive` - these options are used for HTTP/2 (and HTTP/3) to correctly cache names/values when talking over the network
+
+# HTTP Header containers
+
+Abstraction of a collection of headers, as used in server and client requests and responses.
+The containers are optimized for read and write speed by using an array for "known" headers (Headers that are part of our 
+`HeaderNameEnum`). Other headers are stored in a map, keyed by `HeaderName`.
+
+## Types
+
+- `Headers` - a collection of HTTP headers that is read-only
+- `WritableHeader` - a collection of HTTP headers that is mutable
+- `ClientRequestHeaders` - writable headers to create client request
+- `ClientResponseHeaders` - read-only headers with response from the server
+- `ServerRequestHeaders` - read-only headers with request from client
+- `ServerResponseHeaders` - writable header to create server response
