Method Detail

### asReadableString

    public String asReadableString(Object value)

  Get a readable and potentially shorter string representation of the supplied value.

  Specified by:
    `asReadableString` in interface `TypeSystem.TypeFactory<T>`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the value
  Returns:
    the readable string representation; never null
  See Also:
    `TypeSystem.TypeFactory.asReadableString(java.lang.Object)`

### asString

    public String asString(Object value)

  Get the string representation of the supplied value.

  Specified by:
    `asString` in interface `TypeSystem.TypeFactory<T>`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the value

  Parameters:
    `value` - the object representation of the value
  Returns:
    the typed representation, which will be an instance of the `type`
  Throws:
    `ValueFormatException` - if the object cannot be converted to a typed value
  See Also:
    `TypeSystem.TypeFactory.create(java.lang.Object)`

### getType

    public Class<T> getType()

  Get the class representing the value type.

  Specified by:
    `getType` in interface `TypeSystem.TypeFactory<T>`
