## Class StdConverter<IN,OUT>

- java.lang.Object
- - com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.util.StdConverter<IN,OUT>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Converter<IN,OUT>

      public abstract class StdConverter<IN,OUT>
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements Converter<IN,OUT>

  Standard implementation of `Converter` that supports explicit type access, instead of relying type detection of generic type parameters.
  Since:
    2.2

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected JavaType` | `_findConverterType(TypeFactory tf)`
    `abstract OUT` | `convert(IN value)` Main conversion method.
    `JavaType` | `getInputType(TypeFactory typeFactory)` Method that can be used to find out actual input (source) type; this usually can be determined from type parameters, but may need to be implemented differently from programmatically defined converters (which can not change static type parameter bindings).
    `JavaType` | `getOutputType(TypeFactory typeFactory)` Method that can be used to find out actual output (target) type; this usually can be determined from type parameters, but may need to be implemented differently from programmatically defined converters (which can not change static type parameter bindings).
