Interface ContentTypeConverter<S,T>

Type Parameters:
S - The expected source type
T - The output type
All Known Implementing Classes:
BlobToInputStreamConverter, ByteArrayToGenericRecordConverter, ByteArrayToInputStreamConverter, ByteArrayToJsonNodeConverter, ByteArrayToJsonNodeConverter, ByteArrayToStringConverter, ChainedConverter, Dom4JToByteArrayConverter, GenericRecordToByteArrayConverter, InputStreamToByteArrayConverter, InputStreamToDom4jConverter, InputStreamToXomConverter, JsonNodeToByteArrayConverter, JsonNodeToByteArrayConverter, JsonNodeToObjectNodeConverter, JsonNodeToObjectNodeConverter, ObjectNodeToJsonNodeConverter, ObjectNodeToJsonNodeConverter, StringToByteArrayConverter, XomToStringConverter
public interface ContentTypeConverter<S,T>
Interface describing a mechanism that converts the data type of IntermediateRepresentations of SerializedObjects for Upcasters. Different upcasters may require different data type (e.g. byte[] or InputStream), or may produce a different data type than they consume.
