TryFromT
TryFromT is a programming interface used to model fallible conversions between types, where a value of one type can be converted into another type but the conversion might fail.
In a typical design, TryFromT defines an associated error type and a single conversion operation, usually named
This pattern contrasts with infallible converters such as From or static casts, where conversions are guaranteed
In ecosystems inspired by Rust, a TryFromT-like interface mirrors the standard library’s TryFrom and TryInto traits,
Common use cases include parsing, range checks, or format validation, for example converting a string to a
Implementation notes: the trait should be implemented for the target type, with error types expressing what
