From -

To -

All Known Implementing Classes:

BeanPropertyLookupTransformer, BeanPropertyTransformer, CastTransformer, CollectionTransformer, EnumFromStringTransformer, EnumToStringTransformer, KeyBeanPropertyLookupTransformer, MappingTransformer, ObjectToStringTransformer

public interface ETransformer<From,To>

ETransformer defines a consistent pattern for converting an object of one type to an object of another.

By utilising this interface, assisting classes such as CollectionTransformer and IteratorTransformer can help succinctly transform collections of objects.

In circumstances where a transformation requires another object instance (such as a lookup table, service, resource etc), these can be injected into the implementing class using the constructor. Ideally ETransformers should be stateless, which enables them to be threadsafe and freely reusable.

In the case that to directional transformations are required, EBidiTransformer should be used.
