Defines a contract for parsing a string representation into an instance of type T.

public interface IParsable<T>

This interface provides a way to support round-tripping between string values and strongly typed values, allowing custom parsing logic to be used in property grids, type converters, or other serialization scenarios. It is similar in purpose to the .NET built-in IParsable<T> introduced in .NET 7+, but can be used on earlier frameworks to maintain consistency across multiple target frameworks.

public class MyType : IParsable<MyType>
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    
    public MyType Parse(string s, IFormatProvider? provider = null)
    {
        return new MyType { Name = s };
    }
}
