Class NumberValue

      nl.knaw.dans.common.dbflib.NumberValue

public class NumberValue
extends Value

Represents a number value in a record. If the NumberValue was initialized with a raw value (by the library), it will return a typed value that is a subclass of Number and is large enough to accommodate the value. It will try to be economical when doing this. For instance it will choose an Integer over a Long if possible.
