Class TypeTokenStringConverter

java.lang.Object
org.joda.convert.TypeTokenStringConverter
All Implemented Interfaces:
FromStringConverter<Object>, StringConverter<Object>, ToStringConverter<Object>, TypedFromStringConverter<Object>, TypedStringConverter<Object>
final class TypeTokenStringConverter extends Object implements TypedStringConverter<Object>
Parse the string format of Guava TypeToken.

This is loaded by reflection only when Guava is on the classpath. It relies on internal methods in Guava that could change in any release.

This parser is incomplete, but handles common cases. It does not handle union types or multi-dimensional arrays.

    • getEffectiveType

      public Class<?> getEffectiveType()
      Description copied from interface: TypedStringConverter
      Gets the effective type that the converter works on.

      For example, if a class declares the FromString and ToString then the effective type of the converter is that class. If a subclass is queried for a converter, then the effective type is that of the superclass.

      Specified by:
      getEffectiveType in interface TypedFromStringConverter<Object>
      Specified by:
      getEffectiveType in interface TypedStringConverter<Object>
