Class Conversions

uk.ac.starlink.ttools.convert.Conversions
public class Conversions
- extends Object
Utility functions for converting between value types.
Note:
The functionality provided here predates the DomainMapper
machinery (see ValueInfo.getDomainMappers()
),
and using it may interfere with that.
At time of writing this note however, DomainMapper implementation and
use is not complete either. When DomainMappers are working properly,
use of this class should be phased out.
The class is currently configured to perform conversions for
(sexagesimal) angles, but not for ISO-8601 time representations,
since time is handled by DomainMappers. But there may still be
opportunities for nasty surprises.
