Constructor

(abstract) new ConverterFactory()

Contract for a ConverterFactory that provides a factory method to create a converter instance for the requested type. Factories handle the details of object creation. It allows the consumers of the factory to create specific converters without knowing the internals of the converter creation.

JET provides three factory implementations for number and datetime and color types that implement this contract.

Customers can register custom converter factories for the supported types or create and register factories for new types altogether.
