Package org.javasimon.console.text Description

Machinery to convert potentially anything to a String (said differently a configurable toString() API). The CompositeStringifier is a dictionary which registers a Stringifier implementation for each Java type (String, Long, etc). A given Java type can:

• Have different meanings (a long can be a duration, a timestamp, a counter, etc): the "sub-type" concept was introduced.
• Be styled differently (HTML, CSV, XML, JSON, etc): a dictionary factory was introduced StringifierFactory and its subclasses CsvStringifierFactory, JsonStringifierFactory, etc.
