Detailed Description

A ReplaceableConverter is an XStream Converter that can be exchanged for another. This is a desirable feature, because XStream only allows to register converters but offers no built-in mechanism to unregister them. (One can register another converter for the same class to be converted, and XStream will always use the converter registered most recently, but that is a memory leak.)

Implementations of Converter Since XStream calls canConvert() lazily, the delegate should expect such a call at any time, i.e. even when isReset() returns true.
