All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description

- Field Detail
  - MAX_PRIORITY
```
static final int MAX_PRIORITY
```

- Method Detail
  - coerceValue
```
Object coerceValue(IType typeToCoerceTo,
                   Object value)
```
  - isExplicitCoercion
```
boolean isExplicitCoercion()
```
  - handlesNull
```
boolean handlesNull()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if this coercer knows how to handle the null value.
  - getPriority
```
int getPriority(IType to,
                IType from)
```
    Parameters:
    
    to -
    
    from -
    
    Returns:
    
    a value between 0 and MAX_PRIORITY, inclusive that indicates the priority of this coercer when resolving overloaded methods. Typically a coercer should return 0, but coercers that have a high affinity between the target and coerced type, such as primitives, can have higher priorities.
