## Class CSV<T>

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
  - - java.util.AbstractList<E>
    - - java.util.ArrayList<T>
      - - org.fourthline.cling.model.types.csv.CSV<T>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Iterable<T>, Collection<T>, List<T>, RandomAccess
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    CSVBoolean, CSVBytes, CSVCharacter, CSVDate, CSVDouble, CSVFloat, CSVInteger, CSVShort, CSVString, CSVUnsignedIntegerFourBytes, CSVUnsignedIntegerOneByte, CSVUnsignedIntegerTwoBytes, CSVURI

      public abstract class CSV<T>
      extends ArrayList<T>

  Transforms a state variable value from/to strings of comma-separated elements.

  A concrete implementation of this interface knows how to transform values of the declared type into a string of comma-separated list of elements, and how to read such strings back into individual values.

  Your action method returns a `CSV<...>` instance as an output argument. It can also accept a concrecte subclass of this type as an input argument, e.g. `CSVString`. This type extends a regular `List`, so within your action method you can handle the elements as usual.
