Type Parameters:

S - the type of the object to convert

T - the type of the resource

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractResourceAssembler, ValidationErrorResourceAssembler

public interface ResourceAssembler<S,T>

Interface for components that convert an object into a resource.

The object to convert can be any type, but typically this will be a domain object widely used by the application.

The resource should be a type that is only used in the REST layer of the application and which represents the data to be send to the consumer. This is typically a POJO containing Jackson annotations if needed.
