/** * Provides various strategies that can be used to convert an object. * Converting objects using a <code>Converter</code> has a number of * advantages over annotating the classes directly. One of the primary * advantages is that it is possible to use external objects, which * can not be annotated in to your schema. Another advantage is that * you can convert an object that does not conform to one of the * available annotations. * <p> * The primary class in this package is the <code>Converter</code>. * It can be implemented to provide a means of converting an object * instance directly to XML and back again. For convenience there are * a number of ways a converter can be included in the strategy. * * @see org.simpleframework.xml.strategy */ package org.simpleframework.xml.convert;
