- Method Detail
  - convert
```
Object convert(Properties properties,
               String type)
```
    Turn a String-based tree-structure into an Object. Additionally the type of object desired is known. This is usually a Java class, but this is not mandatory.
    
    The properties structure is located at the point of the lookup key, so if the code asked for a com.example.Foo object, the properties structure would be everything below Foo.
    
    To get at the value of com.example.Foo itself, request the empty string, "".
    
    TODO: No way for a converter to know the delimiter-type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    properties - a Properties data structure
    
    type - a String representation of object desired
