31   * Base {@link Converter} implementation that provides the structure for handling conversion <strong>to</strong> and <strong>from</strong> a specified type.
32   * <p>
33   * This implementation provides the basic structure for converting to/from a specified type optionally using a default value or throwing a
34   * {@link ConversionException} if a conversion error occurs.
35   * </p>
36   * <p>
37   * Implementations should provide conversion to the specified type and from the specified type to a {@code String} value by implementing the following methods:
38   * </p>
39   * <ul>
40   * <li>{@code convertToString(value)} - convert to a String (default implementation uses the objects {@code toString()} method).</li>
41   * <li>{@code convertToType(Class, value)} - convert to the specified type</li>
42   * </ul>
43   * <p>
44   * The default value has to be compliant to the default type of this converter - which is enforced by the generic type parameter. If a conversion is not
45   * possible and a default value is set, the converter tries to transform the default value to the requested target type. If this fails, a
46   * {@code ConversionException} if thrown.
47   * </p>
48   *
49   * @param <D> The default value type.
