/**
 * Simple implementation of the {@link TypeConverter} interface that does not operate on
 * a specific target object. This is an alternative to using a full-blown BeanWrapperImpl
 * instance for arbitrary type conversion needs, while using the very same conversion
 * algorithm (including delegation to {@link java.beans.PropertyEditor} and
 * {@link org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService}) underneath.
 *
 * Note: Due to its reliance on {@link java.beans.PropertyEditor PropertyEditors},
 * SimpleTypeConverter is not thread-safe. Use a separate instance for each thread.
