public class StringToNumberConverter
extends AbstractConverter<String,Number>

Converts a String to a Number. Currently handles all boxed and unboxed primitives, along with the Numbers. In particular, Strings converted Numbers are just Doubles, as this features the broadest range of integers.

Method Detail

convert

public <T> T convert(Object src,
                     Class<T> dest)

Description copied from interface: Converter

Converts the given object to an object of the specified type. The object is casted directly if possible, or else a new object is created using the destination type's public constructor that takes the original object as input (except when converting to String, which uses the Object.toString() method instead). In the case of primitive types, returns an object of the corresponding wrapped type. If the destination type does not have an appropriate constructor, returns null.

Type Parameters:

T - Type to which the object should be converted.

Parameters:

src - The object to convert.

dest - Type to which the object should be converted.

getOutputType

public Class<Number> getOutputType()

Returns:

The base Class this Converter produces as output.

getInputType

public Class<String> getInputType()

Returns:

The base Class this Converter accepts as input.

canConvert

public boolean canConvert(Object src,
                          Class<?> dest)

Description copied from interface: Converter

Checks whether the given object's type can be converted to the specified type.
