public interface BaseConverter extends Serializable
Interface that defines the two mandatory methods, to make conversions between units measurement.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    BigDecimal
    fromBaseUnit(BigDecimal value)
    Makes the conversions from the base uinit measurement value to the actual unit representation desired.
    For example, from meters to kilometers or from meters to miles ecc.
    BigDecimal
    toBaseUnit(BigDecimal value)
    Makes the conversions from the actual unit representation value to the base uinit measurement value.
    For example, the base unit for kilometers and miles are meters, the base units for the kilograms and pounds are the grams ecc.
