Interface SimpleConverter


public interface SimpleConverter

A SimpleConverter converts an object from or to a String representation (without making any assumptions about the context). Implement this interface to provide basic conversion between string and object representations. Returns a null value to indicate error conditions: it is your responsibility to handle these.
