Class StringConverter

java.lang.Object
org.pipservices3.commons.convert.StringConverter
public class StringConverter extends Object
Converts arbitrary values into strings. Converts using extended conversion rules:
  • Numbers: are converted with '.' as decimal point
  • DateTime: using ISO format
  • Boolean: "true" for true and "false" for false
  • Arrays: as comma-separated list
  • Other objects: using toString() method

### Example ### 

 
 String value1 = StringConverter.toString(123.456); // Result: "123.456"
 String value2 = StringConverter.toString(true); // Result: "true"
 String value3 = StringConverter.toString(ZonedDateTime.now()); // Result: "2018-01-01T00:00:00.00"
 String value4 = StringConverter.toString(new int[]{1, 2, 3}); // Result: "1,2,3"
