`abstract <T> List<T>`	`parseList(@NotNull() String input, @NotNull() Class<T> clazz)`	Deserializes the `input` into a list of instances of `T`.
`abstract <K, V> Map<K, V>`	`parseMap(@NotNull() String input, @NotNull() Class<K> keyClass, @NotNull() Class<V> valueClass)`	Deserializes the `input` into a map of instances of `V` keyed by `K`

```
@NotNull() abstract String format(@NotNull() Object data)
```
    Format the input data into the service's output format.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - The object to convert on input.
  - parse
```
 abstract <T> T parse(@NotNull() String input, @NotNull() Class<T> clazz)
```
    Parse input strings to strongly typed objects.
    This method will throw an exception if the provided string does not conform to the expected format of the service.
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - The input string to parse.
    
    clazz - The type to try and parse the data into.
  - parseList
```
@NotNull() abstract <T> List<T> parseList(@NotNull() String input, @NotNull() Class<T> clazz)
```
    Deserializes the input into a list of instances of T.
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - The input string to parse.
    
    clazz - The Class type to parse into.
  - parseMap
```
@NotNull() abstract <K, V> Map<K, V> parseMap(@NotNull() String input, @NotNull() Class<K> keyClass, @NotNull() Class<V> valueClass)
```
    Deserializes the input into a map of instances of V keyed by K
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - The input string to parse.
    
    keyClass - The key Class type to parse into.
    
    valueClass - The value Class type to parse into.
