java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the binary is inaccessible

convert

public static Conversions.Converter convert(long value)

Create a converter for a long. String.valueOf(long) is used for the conversion to String. The conversions to double and long return the value itself. The conversion to decimal uses new BigDecimal.valueOf(long). The conversion to date interprets the value as number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z.

Parameters:

value - The long to convert

Returns:

A converter for value

convert

public static Conversions.Converter convert(double value)

Create a converter for a double. String.valueOf(double) is used for the conversion to String. The conversions to double and long return the value itself where in the former case the value is casted to long. The conversion to decimal uses BigDecimal.valueOf(double). The conversion to date interprets toLong() as number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z.

Parameters:

value - The double to convert

Returns:

A converter for value

convert

public static Conversions.Converter convert(java.lang.String value,
                                            Type<?> type)

Create a converter for a date. ISO8601.format(Calendar) is used for the conversion to String. The conversions to double, long and BigDecimal return the number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z.

Parameters:

value - The date to convert

Returns:

A converter for value

convert

public static Conversions.Converter convert(boolean value)

Create a converter for a boolean. Boolean.toString(boolean) is used for the conversion to String.

Parameters:

value - The boolean to convert

Returns:

A converter for value

convert

public static Conversions.Converter convert(java.math.BigDecimal value)

Create a converter for a decimal. BigDecimal.toString() is used for the conversion to String. BigDecimal.longValue() and BigDecimal.doubleValue() is used for the conversions to long and double, respectively. The conversion to date interprets toLong() as number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z.
