```
public abstract class ArrayConverter
extends java.lang.Object
implements ObjectConverter
```
An abstract class that is extended by any converters that convert to/from an array-like format, such as 1, 2, 3. Examples are Point. Point(100, 200) can convert to/from "100, 200"
You have the choice of what the separator is; separator is the ", " in the Point example above.

public ArrayConverter(java.lang.String separator,
                      int size,
                      java.lang.Class<?> elementClass)
```
    Creates an ArrayConverter.
    
    Parameters:
    
    separator - separator to separate values. It should contain at least non-empty character.
    
    size - size of the array
    
    elementClass - class of the array element. Assume all elements have the same class type. If not, use the constructor which takes Class[] as parameter.

public ArrayConverter(java.lang.String separator,
                      int size,
                      java.lang.Class<?>[] elementClasses)
```
    Creates an ArrayConverter.
    
    Parameters:
    
    separator - separator to separate values. It should contain at least non-empty character.
    
    size - size of the array
    
    elementClasses - classes of the array element. The length must be the same as size. If not, IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

  - arrayToString
```
public java.lang.String arrayToString(java.lang.Object[] objects,
                                      ConverterContext context)
```
    Converts from array to string by concating them with separators.
    
    Parameters:
    
    objects - an array of objects
    
    context - converter context
    
    Returns:
    
    string all objects concatenated with separators
  - toString
```
protected java.lang.String toString(int i,
                                    java.lang.Object o,

                                          ConverterContext context)
```
    Converts from string to an array of objects, using separator to separate the string.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - string to be converted
    
    context - converter context
    
    Returns:
    
    the array
  - fromString
```
protected java.lang.Object fromString(int i,

                                      ConverterContext context)
```
  - getElementClass
```
public java.lang.Class<?> getElementClass()
```
    Gets the element class for the array.
    
    Returns:
    
    the element class for the array.
  - isUseTokenizer
```
public boolean isUseTokenizer()
```
    Gets the flag indicating if the converter will utilize Tokenizer to split the string or just utilize String#split().
    
    Returns:
    
    true if tokenizer is to be used. Otherwise false.
    
    Since:
    
    3.5.0
    
    See Also:

  - setUseTokenizer
```
public void setUseTokenizer(boolean useTokenizer)
```
    Sets the flag indicating if the converter will utilize Tokenizer to split the string or just utilize String#split().
    By default, the flag is false to keep backward compatibility.
    
    Parameters:
    
    useTokenizer - the flag
    
    Since:
