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

Service for converting between types using an Converter plugins. Contains convenience signatures for the getHandler(java.lang.Object, java.lang.reflect.Type) and supports(java.lang.Object, java.lang.reflect.Type) methods to avoid the need to create ConversionRequest objects.
