public interface Transform<T>
A Transform
represents a an object used to transform
an object to and from a string value. This is typically used when
either an Attribute
or Element
annotation
is used to mark the field of a type that does not contain any of
the XML annotations, and so does not represent an XML structure.
For example take the following annotation.
@Text private Date date;The above annotation marks an object from the Java class libraries which does not contain any XML annotations. During serialization and deserialization of such types a transform is used to process the object such that it can be written and read to and from XML.
