java.lang.Object
com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.collections.AbstractCollectionConverter
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Converter
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- ArrayConverter, CollectionConverter, MapConverter
- public abstract class AbstractCollectionConverter
- extends java.lang.Object
- implements Converter
Base helper class for converters that need to handle
collections of items (arrays, Lists, Maps, etc).
Typically, subclasses of this will converter the outer
structure of the collection, loop through the contents and
call readItem() or writeItem() for each item.
