/**
 * This annotation is useful when you want to use a specific Converter for a property in a class,
 * but do not want to use it for all properties of that type. When you put this annotation on a
 * field, constructor parameter or setter/getter, Genson will use this Converter instead of any other.
 * The Converter must have a default no arg constructor.
