+/**
+ * Parent class for all bean filters.
+ * <p>
+ * 	Bean filters are used to control aspects of how beans are handled during serialization and parsing.
+ * <p>
+ * 	This class can be considered a programmatic equivalent to using the {@link Bean @Bean} annotation on bean classes.
+ * 	Thus, it can be used to perform the same function as the <code>@Bean</code> annotation when you don't have
+ * 		the ability to annotate those classes (e.g. you don't have access to the source code).
+ * <p>
+ * 	Note that value returned by the {@link Transform#forClass()} method is automatically determined through reflection
+ * 		when the no-arg constructor is used.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * 	When defining bean filters, you can either call the setters in the contructor, or override getters.

-/**
- * Parent class for all bean transforms.
- * <p>
- * 	Bean transforms are used to control aspects of how beans are handled during serialization and parsing.
- * <p>
- * 	This class can be considered a programmatic equivalent to using the {@link Bean @Bean} annotation on bean classes.
- * 	Thus, it can be used to perform the same function as the <code>@Bean</code> annotation when you don't have
- * 		the ability to annotate those classes (e.g. you don't have access to the source code).
- * <p>
- * 	Note that value returned by the {@link Transform#forClass()} method is automatically determined through reflection
- * 		when the no-arg constructor is used.
- *
- * <p>
- * 	When defining bean transforms, you can either call the setters in the contructor, or override getters.
- *
- * <h6 class='topic'>Example</h6>
- * <p class='bcode'>

- * 	WriterSerializer s = <jk>new</jk> JsonSerializer().addTransforms(AddressTransform.<jk>class</jk>);

- * </p>

- * 	The examples in this class use the setters approach.

+/**
+ * Used to convert non-serializable objects to a serializable form.
+ *
+ *
+ * <h6 class='topic'>Description</h6>
+ * <p>
+ * 	<code>PojoSwaps</code> are used to extend the functionality of the serializers and parsers to be able to handle POJOs
+ * 	that aren't automatically handled by the serializers or parsers.  For example, JSON does not have a standard
+ * 	representation for rendering dates.  By defining a special {@code Date} swap and associating it with a serializer and
+ * 	parser, you can convert a {@code Date} object to a {@code String} during serialization, and convert that {@code String} object back into
+ * 	a {@code Date} object during parsing.
+ * <p>
+ * 	Swaps MUST declare a public no-arg constructor so that the bean context can instantiate them.
+ * <p>
+ * 	<code>PojoSwaps</code> are associated with instances of {@link BeanContext BeanContexts} by passing the swap class to
+ * 	the {@link CoreApi#addTransforms(Class...)} method.<br>
+ * 	When associated with a bean context, fields of the specified type will automatically be converted when the
+ * 	{@link BeanMap#get(Object)} or {@link BeanMap#put(String, Object)} methods are called.<br>
+ * <p>
+ * 	<code>PojoSwaps</code> have two parameters:
+ * 	<ol>
+ * 		<li>{@code <T>} - The normal representation of an object.
+ * 		<li>{@code <S>} - The swapped representation of an object.
+ * 	</ol>
+ * 	<br>
+ * 	{@link Serializer Serializers} use swaps to convert objects of type T into objects of type S, and on calls to {@link BeanMap#get(Object)}.<br>
+ * 	{@link Parser Parsers} use swaps to convert objects of type S into objects of type T, and on calls to {@link BeanMap#put(String,Object)}.
+ *
+ *
+ * <h6 class='topic'>Swap Class Type {@code <S>}</h6>
+ * <p>
+ * 	The swapped object representation of an object must be an object type that the serializers can
+ * 	natively convert to JSON (or language-specific equivalent).  The list of valid transformed types are as follows...
+ * 	<ul class='spaced-list'>
+ * 		<li>{@link String}
+ * 		<li>{@link Number}
+ * 		<li>{@link Boolean}
+ * 		<li>{@link Collection} containing anything on this list.
+ * 		<li>{@link Map} containing anything on this list.
+ * 		<li>A java bean with properties of anything on this list.
+ * 		<li>An array of anything on this list.
+ * 	</ul>
+ *
+ *
+ * <h6 class='topic'>Normal Class Type {@code <T>}</h6>
+ * <p>
+ * 	The normal object representation of an object.<br>
+ *
+ *
+ * <h6 class='topic'>One-way vs. Two-way Serialization</h6>
+ * <p>
+ * 	Note that while there is a unified interface for handling swaps during both serialization and parsing,
+ * 	in many cases only one of the {@link #swap(Object)} or {@link #unswap(Object, ClassMeta)} methods will be defined
+ * 	because the swap is one-way.  For example, a swap may be defined to convert an {@code Iterator} to a {@code ObjectList}, but
+ * 	it's not possible to unswap an {@code Iterator}.  In that case, the {@code generalize(Object}} method would
+ * 	be implemented, but the {@code narrow(ObjectMap)} object would not, and the swap would be associated on
+ * 	the serializer, but not the parser.  Also, you may choose to serialize objects like {@code Dates} to readable {@code Strings},
+ * 	in which case it's not possible to reparse it back into a {@code Date}, since there is no way for the {@code Parser} to
+ * 	know it's a {@code Date} from just the JSON or XML text.
+ *
+ *
+ * <h6 class='topic'>Additional information</h6>
+ * 	See {@link org.apache.juneau.transform} for more information.

-/**
- * Used to convert non-serializable objects to a serializable form.
- *
- *
- * <h6 class='topic'>Description</h6>
- * <p>
- * 	<code>PojoTransforms</code> are used to extend the functionality of the serializers and parsers to be able to handle POJOs
- * 	that aren't automatically handled by the serializers or parsers.  For example, JSON does not have a standard
- * 	representation for rendering dates.  By defining a special {@code Date} transform and associating it with a serializer and
- * 	parser, you can convert a {@code Date} object to a {@code String} during serialization, and convert that {@code String} object back into
- * 	a {@code Date} object during parsing.
- * <p>
- * 	Object transforms MUST declare a public no-arg constructor so that the bean context can instantiate them.
- * <p>
- * 	<code>PojoTransforms</code> are associated with instances of {@link BeanContext BeanContexts} by passing the transform class to
- * 	the {@link CoreApi#addTransforms(Class...)} method.<br>
- * 	When associated with a bean context, fields of the specified type will automatically be converted when the
- * 	{@link BeanMap#get(Object)} or {@link BeanMap#put(String, Object)} methods are called.<br>
- * <p>
- * 	<code>PojoTransforms</code> have two parameters:
- * 	<ol>
- * 		<li>{@code <F>} - The transformed representation of an object.
- * 		<li>{@code <T>} - The normal representation of an object.
- * 	</ol>
- * 	<br>
- * 	{@link Serializer Serializers} use object transforms to convert objects of type T into objects of type F, and on calls to {@link BeanMap#get(Object)}.<br>
- * 	{@link Parser Parsers} use object transforms to convert objects of type F into objects of type T, and on calls to {@link BeanMap#put(String,Object)}.
- *
- *
- * <h6 class='topic'>Transformed Class Type {@code <T>}</h6>
- * <p>
- * 	The transformed object representation of an object must be an object type that the serializers can
- * 	natively convert to JSON (or language-specific equivalent).  The list of valid transformed types are as follows...
- * 	<ul class='spaced-list'>
- * 		<li>{@link String}
- * 		<li>{@link Number}
- * 		<li>{@link Boolean}
- * 		<li>{@link Collection} containing anything on this list.
- * 		<li>{@link Map} containing anything on this list.
- * 		<li>A java bean with properties of anything on this list.
- * 		<li>An array of anything on this list.
- * 	</ul>
- *
- *
- * <h6 class='topic'>Normal Class Type {@code <N>}</h6>
- * <p>
- * 	The normal object representation of an object.<br>
- *
- *
- * <h6 class='topic'>One-way vs. Two-way Serialization</h6>
- * <p>
- * 	Note that while there is a unified interface for handling transforming during both serialization and parsing,
- * 	in many cases only one of the {@link #transform(Object)} or {@link #normalize(Object, ClassMeta)} methods will be defined
- * 	because the transform is one-way.  For example, a transform may be defined to convert an {@code Iterator} to a {@code ObjectList}, but
- * 	it's not possible to untransform an {@code Iterator}.  In that case, the {@code generalize(Object}} method would
- * 	be implemented, but the {@code narrow(ObjectMap)} object would not, and the transform would be associated on
- * 	the serializer, but not the parser.  Also, you may choose to serialize objects like {@code Dates} to readable {@code Strings},
- * 	in which case it's not possible to reparse it back into a {@code Date}, since there is no way for the {@code Parser} to
- * 	know it's a {@code Date} from just the JSON or XML text.
- *
- *
- * <h6 class='topic'>Additional information</h6>
- * 	See {@link org.apache.juneau.transform} for more information.
