Interface TypeConverter

All Known Implementing Classes:

PropertyTypeConverter

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface TypeConverter

Implementations of this interface define a certain type conversion. Conversion can happen from any kind of Comparable type to another.

Implementations of TypeConverter need to be fully thread-safe and must have no internal state as they are expected to be used by multiple threads and with shared instances.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Comparable	convert(Comparable value) Compares a Comparable-typed value to another.

Method Detail

Compares a Comparable-typed value to another. Since TypeConverters are not statically typed themselves, the developer needs to take care of correct usage of input and output types.

Parameters:

value - the value to be converted

Returns:

the converted value
