ConversionService class abstract

A strategy interface for type conversion.

Implementations of this interface are responsible for converting values between different types, such as from String to int, List<String> to Set<int>, or custom object mappings.

Typically used in configuration binding, message deserialization, and property resolution pipelines.

🔧 Example Usage:

final service = DefaultConversionService();

if (service.canConvert<String, int>(Class<String>(), Class<int>())) {
  final value = service.convert<int>('42', Class<int>());
  print(value + 1); // 43
}
