/**
    Used to specify the way in which a set of parameters are applied to a URL request.

    - `URL`:             Creates a query string to be set as or appended to any existing URL query for `GET`, `HEAD`, 
                         and `DELETE` requests, or set as the body for requests with any other HTTP method. The 
                         `Content-Type` HTTP header field of an encoded request with HTTP body is set to
                         `application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8`. Since there is no published specification
                         for how to encode collection types, the convention of appending `[]` to the key for array
                         values (`foo[]=1&foo[]=2`), and appending the key surrounded by square brackets for nested
                         dictionary values (`foo[bar]=baz`).

    - `URLEncodedInURL`: Creates query string to be set as or appended to any existing URL query. Uses the same
                         implementation as the `.URL` case, but always applies the encoded result to the URL.

    - `JSON`:            Uses `NSJSONSerialization` to create a JSON representation of the parameters object, which is 
                         set as the body of the request. The `Content-Type` HTTP header field of an encoded request is 
                         set to `application/json`.

    - `PropertyList`:    Uses `NSPropertyListSerialization` to create a plist representation of the parameters object,
                         according to the associated format and write options values, which is set as the body of the
                         request. The `Content-Type` HTTP header field of an encoded request is set to
                         `application/x-plist`.

    - `Custom`:          Uses the associated closure value to construct a new request given an existing request and
                         parameters.
