ToString (Wikidata Toolkit Data Model 0.8.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.wikidata.wdtk.datamodel.helpers.ToString

```
public class ToString
extends java.lang.Object
```
Static class for computing a toString of arbitrary data objects using only their Stringerfaces. This can be used to implement the toString() method of arbitrary Stringerface implementations. More efficient solutions might exist if the object that implements an Stringerface is of a specific known type, but the methods here could always be used as a fallback or default.
The methods here are only meant for human consumption. Generic methods for serializing certain data values in well-defined string formats are found in DataFormatter instead.
