public interface Parser

This interface provides a method for converting a String into some destination class type. This interface was designed as an extensible method of converting Strings into arbitrary target classes when parsing scripted arguments to methods. When a script is run and a method is resolved, the String arguments are converted to the classes required for the method invocation. Built-in conversions are provided for ComponentReferences and all the basic types, including arrays.
