Interface CursorStrategy<P>

All Known Implementing Classes:
EncodingCursorStrategy, JsonKeysetCursorStrategy, ScrollPositionCursorStrategy
public interface CursorStrategy<P>
Strategy to convert an Object that represents the position of an item within a paginated result set to and from a String cursor.

A CursorEncoder may be combined with a CursorEncoder via withEncoder(CursorStrategy, CursorEncoder) to further encode and decode cursor Strings to make them opaque for clients.
