boost.xtra

Boost.Convert builds on the boost::lexical_cast experience and then takes those conversion-related ideas further to provide more flexible and extendible conversion framework, richer conversion-related configurability to better suit today's applications and programming needs. The /Boost.Convert/ framework is split in to two components

• the /Boost.Convert/ API facade to provide simple, minimal and uniform interface and
• the library of purpose-built pluggable converters to provide type conversions depending on the need.
