    • write

      org.neo4j.driver.Value write(@Nullable T source)
      Parameters:
      source - The value to store. We might pass null, if your converter is not able to handle that, this is ok, we do handle null pointer exceptions
      Returns:
      The converted value, never null. To represent null, use Values.NULL

    • read

      @Nullable T read(org.neo4j.driver.Value source)
      Parameters:
      source - The value to read, never null or Values.NULL
      Returns:
      The converted value, maybe null if source was equals to Values.NULL.
