Deprecated.
Template model and model types are not supported for lit template, but you can use @Id mapping and the component API or the element API with property synchronization instead. Polymer template support is deprecated - we recommend you to use LitTemplate instead. Read more details from the Vaadin blog.

A model type that can convert values between a representation suitable for users and a representation suitable for storage in a StateNode.
Model type instances are shared between all instances of a given TemplateModel type and should therefore be immutable to prevent race conditions. The root type for a model can be found using ModelDescriptor.get(Class).
For internal use only. May be renamed or removed in a future release.

- Method Detail
  - modelToApplication
```
Object modelToApplication(Serializable modelValue)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Creates a representation of the provided model value that is intended for use in application code. For mutable values, this is typically a proxy that is directly connected to the underlying model value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    modelValue - the model value to convert
    
    Returns:
    
    a user-friendly representation of the provided model value
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if modelValue cannot be handled by the type
  - applicationToModel
```
Serializable applicationToModel(Object applicationValue,
                                PropertyFilter filter)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Creates a model value representation of the provided application value.
    For application values that contain properties (i.e. beans), the provided filter is used to determine which properties from the bean should be included in the model representation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    applicationValue - the user value to convert
    
    filter - the filter to use to determine which properties to include, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    a model value representation of the provided user value.
  - accepts
```
boolean accepts(Type applicationType)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Checks whether this type can accept application values of the given type. The method only considers this actual type, not the types of sub properties or list items.
    
    Parameters:
    
    applicationType - the application type to check, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the provided type is acceptable, false otherwise
  - getJavaType
```
Type getJavaType()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Gets the Java Type that this model encapsulates.
    
    Returns:
    
    the java type
  - getSupportedTypesString
```
static String getSupportedTypesString()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Gets a string explaining the supported property types in model.
    
    Returns:
    
    a string explaining supported property types
  - toJson
```
elemental.json.JsonValue toJson()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Creates a JSON representation of this model type.
    
    Returns:
    
    a JSON representation of this model type, not null
  - createInitialValue
```
void createInitialValue(StateNode node,
                        String property)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Create initial value for the given property and set it for the node.
    
    Parameters:
    
    node - the node where the initial value should be set the property
    
    property - the property in the node whose initial value needs to be created
