Interface ConvertService

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<Prioritized>, Contextual, Disposable, HandlerService<ConversionRequest,Converter<?,?>>, HasPluginInfo, Prioritized, PTService<Converter<?,?>>, RichPlugin, SciJavaPlugin, Service, SingletonService<Converter<?,?>>, Typed<ConversionRequest>, TypedService<ConversionRequest,Converter<?,?>>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractConvertService, DefaultConvertService

public interface ConvertService
extends HandlerService<ConversionRequest,Converter<?,?>>

Service for converting between types using an extensible plugin: Converter. Contains convenience signatures for the getHandler(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Class<?>) and supports(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Class<?>) methods to avoid the need to create ConversionRequest objects.
