public class FPDeserUtil

extends java.lang.Object

FPDeserUtil: Utilities to help with deserialization of floating point special values. Supplements Java.lang deserialization of float, Float, double, and Double by handling the special values INF, -INF, and NaN, something that Java doesn't do (i.e. new Float("INF") will cause a NumberFormatException). These special values specify infinity, negative infinity, and Not-a-Number in the XML Schema - Datatypes specification for the primitive datatypes "float" (Section 3.2.4.1) and "double" (Section 3.2.5.1). Also accepts "Infinity" for "INF" and "-Infinity" for "-INF" (case-insensitive) because that's what Java generates for toString() of a Float or Double. See: XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes (W3C PR 16 March 2001)
