Detailed Features

• Unique, comprehensive converter library framework
• Serializable converters
• Thread-Safe
• Singleton pattern using the Portable-Singleton library.
• Safe to Dispose with on-demand reinitialization, as a requirement for some constrained server environments.
• Strong Type Casting
• Custom Converter Exceptions
• Granular and transparent control over the conversion behavior
• Unsurpassed IDE Introspection / MS Intellisense integration
• Extremely low learning curve as a consequence of IDE introspection alongside precise and intuitive methods
• Safe conversion through try-methods such as TryCast, following the Try convention of .NET
• Clear distinct method naming: e.g. as opposed to To, As and Cast, used already "occupied" by LINQ and several Fluid Interfaces
• Short, intuitive syntax that is strongly typed, yet concise and easy to comprehend
• Flexibility converter implementation
• Flexible on-demand loading, by Namespaces first encountered
• Grouping of converters into Namespaces aliases
• Optional, strongly typed default-value conversion function
• Automatic Dependency Injection based on attributes set and / or the constructor parameters
• Auto / lazy instantiation. Resources are loaded on an on-demand basis
• Lazy instantiation of the converter-collection, upon the first request
• Intuitive support for LINQ queries
• Readable code, pragmatically following the single responsibility principle. No method exceeds a cyclomatic complexity of >11
