Interface Decimaliser

All Known Implementing Classes:

GeneralDecimaliser, MaximumPrecision, SimpleDecimaliser, StandardDecimaliser, UsesBigDecimal

public interface Decimaliser

Strategy interface that decomposes a floating point number into sign, mantissa and exponent suitable for textual serialisation. Implementations may trade performance against precision.

NaN, infinity and negative zero values are not converted and should cause the method to return false.
