    static final int
    NO_LEFT_CHAINING
    A Converter flag declaring this Converter cannot be chained to another Converter.
    static final int

  • Field Details

    • ALL_CHAINING

      static final int ALL_CHAINING
      A Converter flag declaring that this Converter can be any part of a chain.
      See Also:

    • NO_LEFT_CHAINING

      static final int NO_LEFT_CHAINING
      A Converter flag declaring this Converter cannot be chained to another Converter. This means that this Converter must be the beginning of a chain.
      Note: unchecked casts are not permitted before this converter (e.g. Object to ).
      See Also:

    • NO_RIGHT_CHAINING

      static final int NO_RIGHT_CHAINING
      A Converter flag declaring that another Converter cannot be chained to this Converter. This means that this Converter must be the end of a chain.
      Note: unchecked casts are not permitted after this converter (e.g. to ).
      See Also:

    • ALLOW_UNSAFE_CASTS

      static final int ALLOW_UNSAFE_CASTS
      A Converter flag declaring that the input/output of this can use an unchecked cast, when combined with NO_LEFT_CHAINING or NO_RIGHT_CHAINING.
      An unchecked cast would be Number -> Integer. (Not all numbers are integers, some are floats!)

      When combined with NO_RIGHT_CHAINING the output can be conformed with an unchecked cast, e.g. String -> Number (-> cast Integer).
      When combined with NO_RIGHT_CHAINING the output can be conformed with an unchecked cast, e.g. (cast Object ->) Integer -> String.
      See Also:

    • NO_CHAINING

      static final int NO_CHAINING
      A Converter flag declaring that this Converter cannot be a part of a chain.
