Parameter Converters

The primary responsibility of a parameter converter is to examine a function (or class method) and a list of passed arguments, converting arguments from one representation to another.

A good example is dates, you might want to accept dates as part of a URL pattern and convert the to a real \DateTime object before passing them to your controller.

note

This framework ships with several converters, however, it is trivial to make your own using the ParameterConverterInterface.
