Introduction

The javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter class makes it easier to write parse and print methods.These methods are invoked by custom parse and print methods.Following are the important points about DatatypeConverter −

  • It defines static parse and print methods that provide access to a JAXB provider's implementation of parse and print methods.

  • The static methods defined in the class can also be used to specify a parse or a print method in a javaType binding declaration.

Class declaration

Following is the declaration for javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter class −
