Interface ArgumentConverter

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultArgumentConverter, SimpleArgumentConverter

@API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
     since="5.0")
public interface ArgumentConverter

ArgumentConverter is an abstraction that allows an input object to be converted to an instance of a different class.

Such an ArgumentConverter is applied to the method parameter of a @ParameterizedTest method with the help of a @ConvertWith annotation.

See SimpleArgumentConverter in case your implementation only needs to know about the target type instead of the complete ParameterContext.

Implementations must provide a no-args constructor.

Since:

5.0
