Good type conversion is very important for dynamic code. Jodd provides a lot of type converters - classes that converts an object to a specific type. All type converters are registered in TypeConverterManager that can perform conversions. It is easy to add custom type converter, of course. Default type converters are assertive, i.e. they will try to perform all kind of different conversion just to make destination type.

One of things that make Jodds type conversion different is that it is possible to directly call type converters, since all conversion methods are also statics.
