/**
 * INTERNAL:
 * This class processes the reserve "json" converter specified through @Convert.
 * 
 * Key notes:
 * - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the
 *   equals method.
 * - when loading from annotations, the constructor accepts the metadata
 *   accessor this metadata was loaded from. Used it to look up any 
 *   'companion' annotation needed for processing.
 * - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.
