      static <T> java.util.List<T> convertAsList​(java.lang.Class<T> valueType, java.lang.Object value, java.util.Locale locale, java.lang.String pattern)
      Converts the given value as a list.
      If the given value is Iterable, then its inner elements will be converted to <T>, using convert(Class, Object, Locale, String), and then they will be added in a result List.
      If the given value is not Iterable, then it will be converted and then it will be added to a result List.
      The result list is Serializable and modifiable.
      static IConverter createConverter​(java.lang.Class type)
      Create the appropriated converter for the given type.
