All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Converter<Date>`

public final class SqlDateConverter extends DateTimeConverter<Date>
`DateTimeConverter` implementation that handles conversion to and from java.sql.Date objects.

This implementation can be configured to handle conversion either by using java.sql.Date's default String conversion, or by using a Locale's default format or by specifying a set of format patterns. See the `DateTimeConverter` documentation for further details.

Can be configured to either return a default value or throw a `ConversionException` if a conversion error occurs.
