025/**
026 * A function from {@code A} to {@code B} with an associated <i>reverse</i> function from {@code B}
027 * to {@code A}; used for converting back and forth between <i>different representations of the same
028 * information</i>.
029 *
030 * <h3>Invertibility</h3>
031 *
032 * <p>The reverse operation <b>may</b> be a strict <i>inverse</i> (meaning that {@code
033 * converter.reverse().convert(converter.convert(a)).equals(a)} is always true). However, it is very
034 * common (perhaps <i>more</i> common) for round-trip conversion to be <i>lossy</i>. Consider an
035 * example round-trip using {@link com.google.common.primitives.Doubles#stringConverter}:
036 *
037 * <ol>
038 * <li>{@code stringConverter().convert("1.00")} returns the {@code Double} value {@code 1.0}
039 * <li>{@code stringConverter().reverse().convert(1.0)} returns the string {@code "1.0"} --
040 *     <i>not</i> the same string ({@code "1.00"}) we started with
041 * </ol>
042 *
043 * <p>Note that it should still be the case that the round-tripped and original objects are
044 * <i>similar</i>.
045 *
046 * <h3>Nullability</h3>
047 *
048 * <p>A converter always converts {@code null} to {@code null} and non-null references to non-null
049 * references. It would not make sense to consider {@code null} and a non-null reference to be
050 * "different representations of the same information", since one is distinguishable from
051 * <i>missing</i> information and the other is not. The {@link #convert} method handles this null
052 * behavior for all converters; implementations of {@link #doForward} and {@link #doBackward} are
053 * guaranteed to never be passed {@code null}, and must never return {@code null}.
054 *
055 *
056 * <h3>Common ways to use</h3>
057 *
058 * <p>Getting a converter:
059 *
060 * <ul>
061 * <li>Use a provided converter implementation, such as {@link Enums#stringConverter}, {@link
062 *     com.google.common.primitives.Ints#stringConverter Ints.stringConverter} or the {@linkplain
063 *     #reverse reverse} views of these.
064 * <li>Convert between specific preset values using {@link
065 *     com.google.common.collect.Maps#asConverter Maps.asConverter}. For example, use this to create
066 *     a "fake" converter for a unit test. It is unnecessary (and confusing) to <i>mock</i> the
067 *     {@code Converter} type using a mocking framework.
068 * <li>Extend this class and implement its {@link #doForward} and {@link #doBackward} methods.
069 * <li><b>Java 8 users:</b> you may prefer to pass two lambda expressions or method references to
070 *     the {@link #from from} factory method.
071 * </ul>
072 *
073 * <p>Using a converter:
074 *
075 * <ul>
076 * <li>Convert one instance in the "forward" direction using {@code converter.convert(a)}.
077 * <li>Convert multiple instances "forward" using {@code converter.convertAll(as)}.
078 * <li>Convert in the "backward" direction using {@code converter.reverse().convert(b)} or {@code
079 *     converter.reverse().convertAll(bs)}.
080 * <li>Use {@code converter} or {@code converter.reverse()} anywhere a {@link
081 *     java.util.function.Function} is accepted (for example {@link Stream#map}).
082 * <li><b>Do not</b> call {@link #doForward} or {@link #doBackward} directly; these exist only to be
083 *     overridden.
084 * </ul>
085 *
086 * <h3>Example</h3>
087 *
088 * <pre>
089 *   return new Converter&lt;Integer, String&gt;() {
090 *     protected String doForward(Integer i) {
091 *       return Integer.toHexString(i);
092 *     }
093 *
094 *     protected Integer doBackward(String s) {
095 *       return parseUnsignedInt(s, 16);
096 *     }
097 *   };</pre>
098 *
099 * <p>An alternative using Java 8:
100 *
101 * <pre>{@code
102 * return Converter.from(
103 *     Integer::toHexString,
104 *     s -> parseUnsignedInt(s, 16));
105 * }</pre>
