Interface ContextConverter

All Superinterfaces:

ConfigurationAware, Converter<Object,Object>, Validateable, WithPriority

All Known Implementing Classes:

DecoratorConverter

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface ContextConverter
extends Converter<Object,Object>, WithPriority, Validateable, ConfigurationAware

This converter can be used to convert context objects before they are processed by resolvers.

Any converter may validate itself - see also Validateable. The validation is performed before a MustacheEngine is built. An invalid converter is not put into service, i.e. it's not included in the final list of converters returned by Configuration.getContextConverters().

This component has also priority - converters with higher priority are called first. When a converter is able to convert the value all other converters with lower priority are skipped.
