boolean	supports(T data) Gets whether this object is compatible with the given data object.

Method Detail

supports

boolean supports(T data)

Gets whether this object is compatible with the given data object.

Typically, this will be the case when data.getClass() is assignable to the type associated with the object (i.e., the one returned by getType()). But individual implementations may have other requirements beyond class assignability.

getType

Class<T> getType()

Gets the type associated with the object.
