Deserializing char with ' '

Hello,
When using a char field with [TextField(__, 1)] attribute the parser considers spaces ' ' as empty '' and raises a format exception.
I'm currently using a custom formatter to avoid this.

Additionally, I liked the exception used on Custom Formatters and missed the exception when testing without custom, it would help troubleshot this kind of formatting errors because it points to the exact field that raised the exception.

Feature Request: ITextFormatter pass TextFieldAttribute

Hello,
can you pass the TextFieldAttribute when calling Serialize or Deserialize on a custom formatter (ITextFormatter)?
Use-Case might be: custom formatter must know the lenght / decimal places of the TextField-Attribute.

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

Deserializing int with Padding zeros on only zeros string

Hello again,

When using the padding with zeros option (Padding = '0') to parse "00000" string it raises and exception of wrong string format. I believe this is due to parsing an empty string (all zeros were removed) into integer.

Allow formatters to have parameters

It would be very useful if formatters could have parameters so that, for example, an alternative BooleanFormatter could be created which could have the expected true and false values passed in as parameters, rather than only working for true = 1.

Currently this isn't possible, as the Formatter on TextField is internal.
