parse

Parses metadata for the given class type, utilizing caching to avoid redundant parsing operations. If metadata for the class has already been parsed and cached, returns the cached instance. Otherwise, parses the metadata using parseToMetadata and stores it in the cache.

example:

class MyMetadataParser : CacheableMetadataParser() {
    override fun <TYPE : Any, M : Metadata> parseToMetadata(type: Class<TYPE>): M {
        // Implementation here
    }
}

val parser = MyMetadataParser()
val metadata = parser.parse<MyClass, MyMetadata>(MyClass::class.java)
