14Conversion Library</h1>

16<p>The Conversion Library improves program safety and clarity by performing
17otherwise messy conversions.&nbsp; It includes cast-style function templates designed to complement the C++
18Standard's built-in casts.</p>
19<p>To reduce coupling, particularly to standard library IOStreams, the Boost
20Conversion Library is
21supplied by several headers:</p>
22<ul>
23  <li>The <a href="cast.htm">boost/cast</a> header provides <b>polymorphic_cast&lt;&gt;</b>
24    and <b>polymorphic_downcast&lt;&gt;</b> to perform safe casting between
25  polymorphic types.<br>
26  </li>
27  <li>The <a href="lexical_cast.htm">boost/lexical_cast</a> header provides <b>lexical_cast&lt;&gt;</b>
28    general literal text conversions, such as an <code>int</code> represented as
29    a <code>string</code>, or vice-versa.</li>
30</ul>
