/**
* Data decoder.
*
* A data decoder converts data (encoded in a String) to an Object of some form, determined by
* the decoder implementation.
*
* There are a number of pre-installed decoders in the {@link org.milyn.javabean.decoders}
* package. DataDecoders are used in a numkber of places in Smooks:
*
* - Component configuration value decoding.
* - JavaBean Cartridge. Used to decode the binding value.
*
* Smooks can automatically select an appropriate DataDecoder for a given purpose (via the
* {@link org.milyn.javabean.DataDecoder.Factory} factory class) if the decoder is:
*
* - Annotated with the {@link DecodeType} annotation.
* - Specified in the "/META-INF/data-decoders.inf" file on the classpath. Obviously this file can
* exist on any number of classpath URIs. If defining custom decoders, just add the
* "/META-INF/data-decoders.inf" file to your .jar file (or somewhere on the classpath). Smooks will
* find all such files on the classpath.
*
* Note how all the decoders in this package follow a well defined naming pattern of "typeDecoder",
* where type is the Java datatype to which the implementation decodes.
*
