Interface UpcasterChain

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractUpcasterChain, LazyUpcasterChain, SimpleUpcasterChain

public interface UpcasterChain

Represents a series of upcasters which are combined to upcast a SerializedObject to the most recent revision of that payload. The intermediate representation required by each of the upcasters is converted using converters provided by a converterFactory.

Upcasters for different object types may be merged into a single chain, as long as the order of related upcasters can be guaranteed.
