The grace-plugin-converters module is a Grace Framework plugin that provides JSON and XML conversion capabilities for web applications, enabling easy serialization and deserialization of Groovy objects to/from JSON and XML formats.
The grace-plugin-converters module is defined as a plugin in the Grace Framework settings and depends on core modules including grace-api, grace-bootstrap, grace-core, grace-plugin-api, grace-util, and grace-web.
It has a runtime dependency on grace-plugin-controllers and optional compile-only dependencies on GORM-related modules for domain class support.
The main plugin class is ConvertersGrailsPlugin, which registers the converters functionality with the Grace framework.
The module provides Groovy extension methods through the ConvertersExtension class, which adds conversion capabilities to standard Groovy objects.
