Names.

The problem always comes down to naming.

`StartLine.Verb.GET`

is not a good name.

Neither StartLine nor Verb are used in that context in the HTTP spec.

The most widely used name for GET/POST etc. is Method.

The author will find that these seemingly small things will hinder adoption.

Agree. Looking at the example project, this is not a single case, when a name could be better. Helpers and Utils are naming anti-patterns, so naming function ˋ(de)serializeHelperˋ is not a good idea.

Names. One of the two hard problems in computer science, along with cache invalidation. And off-by-one errors.

Valid point. I was going off documentation like here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Messages#s...

That page uses Method though, and places nouns at equal importance with verbs when describing them?
