IDataTransformer

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractJsonTransformer, DateTransformer
```
public interface IDataTransformer
```
An IDataTransformer implementation is used to transform one object from one type into another. This is especially used for data bindings. Bindings can be enabled in the application model for all controls that do support binding. All binding types do also support transformation to do the type conversion before the value is set to for the control.
Implement transform(Object, int)} to do the type conversion. Make sure to implement efficiently, this method can be called frequently!
