| /** |
| * Default set of {@link org.apache.sis.util.ObjectConverter} implementations. |
| * Converter for a given pair of <cite>source</cite> and <cite>target</cite> classes |
| * can be obtained with {@link org.apache.sis.internal.converter.ConverterRegistry}. |
| * A system-wide instance of {@code ConverterRegistry} with a default set of conversions |
| * is available as {@link org.apache.sis.internal.converter.SystemRegistry#INSTANCE}. |
| * |
| * <h2>Adding system-wide converters</h2> |
| * Applications can add system-wide custom converters either by explicit calls to the |
| * {@code SystemRegistry.INSTANCE.register(ObjectConverter)} method, or by listing the |
| * fully qualified classnames of their {@link org.apache.sis.util.ObjectConverter} instances |
| * in a file having exactly the following name: |
| * |
| * {@preformat text |
| * META-INF/services/org.apache.sis.util.ObjectConverter |
| * } |
| * |
| * Applications deployed in a modularization framework like OSGi shall use only the |
| * {@code META-INF} approach, because system converters are discarded every time the |
| * classpath changes. Having the converters declared in {@code META-INF} ensure that |
| * they will be reloaded when needed. |
| * |
| * <p>Alternatively, applications can also use their own {@code ConverterRegistry} instance. |
| * Non-system instances do not scan for {@code META-INF} and do not discard their content on |
| * classpath changes.</p> |
