This comment was originally written by bslesinsk...@gmail.com The types for the encode() and decode() methods in the Codec class also disagree with the article. |

Sadly, our API doc generator has issues with generics. It ends up reporting the wrong type often. See https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=17450 The return type is indeed T - https://github.com/dart-lang/bleeding_edge/blob/master/dart/sdk/lib/convert/converter.dart#L19 |

Added Pkg-DocGen, Area-Pkg, Triaged labels. |

De-duping this issue. Issue #17450 is fixed for Iterable, which seemed related, but this is clearly still broken for Converter https://api.dartlang.org/apidocs/channels/be/dartdoc-viewer/dart-convert.Converter Removed Priority-Unassigned label. |
|
Added this to the 1.6 milestone. |
|
Marked as High, assigning owner. If I get this wrong, please help me by: * assigning a new owner
Set owner to @alan-knight. |

Removed the owner. |

Moved to dart-lang/dartdoc#81 Added MovedToGithub label. |

According to the API doc [1], convert() has type:
String convert(S input);
However, according to the Converters and Codecs article [2], it should be:
T convert(S input);
I believe the article is correct and the code is wrong. If not, maybe an explanation should be added.
