public interface TypeConverter
Interface that defines type conversion methods. Typically (but not necessarily) implemented in conjunction with the PropertyEditorRegistry interface.

Note: Since TypeConverter implementations are typically based on PropertyEditors which aren't thread-safe, TypeConverters themselves are not to be considered as thread-safe either.
