All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter
```
public final class BigDecimalConverter
extends NumberConverter
```
NumberConverter implementation that handles conversion to and from java.math.BigDecimal objects.
This implementation can be configured to handle conversion either by using BigDecimal's default String conversion, or by using a Locale's pattern or by specifying a format pattern. See the NumberConverter documentation for further details.
Can be configured to either return a default value or throw a ConversionException if a conversion error occurs.
