Method Detail

tryCoerce

public static <T> Maybe<T> tryCoerce(java.lang.Object value,
                                     java.lang.Class<? super T> targetType)

castPrimitive

public static <T> T castPrimitive(java.lang.Object value,
                                  java.lang.Class<T> targetType)

Sometimes need to explicitly cast primitives, rather than relying on Java casting. For example, when using generics then type-erasure means it doesn't actually cast, which causes tests to fail with 0 != 0.0

isPrimitiveOrBoxer

public static boolean isPrimitiveOrBoxer(java.lang.Class<?> type)

stringToPrimitive

public static <T> T stringToPrimitive(java.lang.String value,
                                      java.lang.Class<T> targetType)
