• a primitive or primitive wrapper: converts to a String ans then uses the previous conversion method
• Serializable: returns the UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes(byte[]) with the serialized bytes of the input

If none of the above applies there will be an exception trying to serialize.

a UUID constructed from the input
