```
public class TypeFactory
extends Object
```
A class that contains built-in parsers from string into common object types, typically for Reflection purposes.
It supports all of the primitive types (including their wrappers) as well as enumerations and following object types:
From the java.time package:
- java.time.Duration such as "PT15M" (15 minutes)
- java.time.Instant such as "2007-12-03T13:15:30Z"
- java.time.LocalDate such as "2007-12-03"
- java.time.LocalTime such as "10:15" or "10:15:30"
- java.time.LocalDateTime such as "2007-12-03T10:15:30"
- java.time.OffsetDateTime such as "2007-12-03T10:15:30-03:00"
- java.time.OffsetTime such as "10:15:30+01:00"
- java.time.ZonedDateTime such as "2007-12-03T10:15:30-03:00[America/Sao_Paulo]"
- java.time.ZoneId such as "Europe/Paris" or "+01:00"
- java.time.ZoneOffset such as "+01", "+0100" or "+01:00"
From the java.sql package:
- java.sql.Date such as "2007-12-03"
- java.sql.Time such as "23:13:33"
- java.sql.Timestamp such as "2007-12-03 10:15:30.998"
From the java.util package:
- java.util.Currency from ISO 4217 codes, such as: "BRL" (Brazilian Real)
- java.util.Date such as "2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00" (accepting valid date-time representations in RFC 3339 formats)
- java.util.TimeZone such as: "America/Sao_Paulo" or "GMT-03:00"
- java.util.UUID from universally-unique identifier strings in RFC 4122 format
From the java.io package:
- java.io.File
From the java.nio package:
- java.nio.charset.Charset
- java.nio.file.Path
From the java.lang package:
- java.lang.Class
From the java.math package:
- java.math.BigDecimal
- java.math.BigInteger
From the java.net package:
- java.net.InetAddress from strings representing an IP address
- java.net.URI such as: "example.com/docs"
- java.net.URL such as: "http://www.example.com/resource1.html"
Enum elements can also be retrieved based on their constant names (and performs case-insensitive matching). For example:
```
 ParseFactory.parse(Month.class, "january"); // returns Month.JANUARY
 ParseFactory.parse(DayOfWeek.class, "friday"); // returns DayOfWeek.FRIDAY
 
```
