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

119 * 1. The type parameter is <T> rather than <T extends @Nullable> so that we can use T in the
120 * doForward and doBackward methods to indicate that the parameter cannot be null. (We also take
121 * advantage of that for convertAll, as discussed on that method.)
122 *
123 * 2. The supertype of this class could be `Function<@Nullable A, @Nullable B>`, since
124 * Converter.apply (like Converter.convert) is capable of accepting null inputs. However, a
125 * supertype of `Function<A, B>` turns out to be massively more useful to callers in practice: They
126 * want their output to be non-null in operations like `stream.map(myConverter)`, and we can
127 * guarantee that as long as we also require the input type to be non-null[*] (which is a
128 * requirement that existing callers already fulfill).
129 *
130 * Disclaimer: Part of the reason that callers are so well adapted to `Function<A, B>` may be that
131 * that is how the signature looked even prior to this comment! So naturally any change can break
132 * existing users, but it can't *fix* existing users because any users who needed
133 * `Function<@Nullable A, @Nullable B>` already had to find a workaround. Still, there is a *ton* of
134 * fallout from trying to switch. I would be shocked if the switch would offer benefits to anywhere
135 * near enough users to justify the costs.
136 *
137 * Fortunately, if anyone does want to use a Converter as a `Function<@Nullable A, @Nullable B>`,
138 * it's easy to get one: `converter::convert`.

489   * A, @Nullable B> will cause issues *today*, whereas extending Function<A, B> causes problems in
