init

public static Map<Class,Class<? extends FieldConverter>> init(Map<Class,Class<? extends FieldConverter>> converterMap)

Parameters:

converterMap - to be provided instead of the hardcoded defaults

Returns:

default converter map

init

public static Map<Class,Class<? extends FieldConverter>> init(Map<Class,Class<? extends FieldConverter>> converterMap,
                                                                    boolean defaults)

Parameters:

converterMap - to be provided instead of the hardcoded defaults

Returns:

default converter map

getConverter

public static FieldConverter getConverter(Class fieldClass,
                                          Type type,
                                          Map<Class,Class<? extends FieldConverter>> converterOverrides)

Returns converter for class
