  - ### Method Detail

    - #### protected Converter findConverter(Class<?> type)

      Finds a converter that can handle the given type. The first converter that reports it can handle the type is returned, based on the order in which the converters were specified. A `null` value will be returned if no suitable converter can be found for the given type.

      Parameters:
        `type` - that this converter can handle
      Returns:
        first converter that can handle the given type; else `null` if no compatible converters are found for the given type.

    - #### protected Map<?, ?> getObjectProperties(Object object)

    - #### @Override public boolean isExcludingFieldsNamed(String name)

      {@inheritDoc}

    - #### @Override public boolean isExcludingValues(Object value)

      {@inheritDoc}

    - #### protected boolean shouldExcludeType(Class<?> type)

      Indicates whether the given type should be excluded from the generated output.

      Parameters:
        `type` - the type to check
      Returns:
        `true` if the given type should not be output, else `false`

    - #### @Override public String toJson(Object object)

      {@inheritDoc}

    - #### protected void writeArray(Class<?> arrayClass, Object array, CharBuf buffer)
