All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter

public final class BigIntegerConverter
extends NumberConverter

NumberConverter implementation that handles conversion to and from java.math.BigInteger objects.

This implementation can be configured to handle conversion either by using BigInteger's default String conversion, or by using a Locale's pattern or by specifying a format pattern. See the NumberConverter documentation for further details.

Can be configured to either return a default value or throw a ConversionException if a conversion error occurs.
