Interface FieldValueGetter

All Superinterfaces:

FieldValueAccessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassExtensionGetter, ExtensibleFieldValueAccessor, ReflectionMethodGetter

public interface FieldValueGetter
extends FieldValueAccessor

The FieldValueGetter class is an abstract class that serves as the base for all FieldValueGetters. FieldValueGetters are used to get values from a target. The details of how to execute these operations is left to the subclasses and depends upon the type of the target object. For the most part, the subclass ReflectionGetter will do the job, but there may be cases where a more specific approach will yield more efficient, or more desired, results.
