PersistentDataType

interface PersistentDataType<P : Any, C : Any> : PrimitiveTypeMarker<P> , CustomTypeMarker<C> (source)

Represents a data type that facilitates conversions between a primitive data type and a complex data type.

This interface is designed to provide a flexible mechanism for mapping and transformation between two types, where one is a low-level primitive representation and the other is a higher-level complex type.

The primitive type must adhere to the PrimitiveTypeMarker contract, while the complex type follows the CustomTypeMarker contract. Specific implementations of this interface define the logic for performing the conversions and declaring the associated types.
