/**
 * Marshaller interface for storing complex types in DynamoDB as Strings.
 * Implementors provide methods to transform instances of a class to and from
 * Strings.
 *
 * @deprecated Replaced by {@link DynamoDBTypeConverter}
 *
 * A {@link DynamoDBTypeConverted} with {@link String} as source would
 * perform the same conversion. Please consider, if your marshaller is thread
 * safe before replacing. In the new implementation, a single instance of
 * {@link DynamoDBTypeConverted} is created per field/attribute. In the old,
 * an new instance of the marshaller was created for each call to
 * {@code marshall} and {@code unmarshall}. If your marshaller/converter is not
 * thread safe, it is recomended to specify a converter which will instantiate
 * a new marshaller per call.
 *
 *  * public class CustomConverter<T> implements DynamoDBTypeConverter<String,T> {
 *     @Override
 *     public final String convert(final T object) {
 *         return ...
 *     }
 *     @Override
 *     public final T unconvert(final String object) {
 *         return ...
 *     }
