| General purpose data type converter that can be registered and used
within the BeanUtils package to manage the conversion of objects from
one type to another.
Converter subclasses bundled with the BeanUtils library are required
to be thread-safe, as users of the library may call conversion methods
from more than one thread simultaneously.
Custom converter subclasses created by users of the library can be
non-thread-safe if the application using them is single-threaded. However
it is recommended that they be written in a thread-safe manner anyway.
