```
public Object convert(String input)
               throws ConverterException
```
    Converts the string input into a Java object. The part before the colon denotes the type and is used to find a suitable value converter. If no type is specified the default automatic converter will try to automatically convert the string to a suitable Java object.
    
    As the colon delimits the type from the value, colons in a value should be percent encoded
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - eg 'john', 'date:2015-01-01' or 'number:30'
    
    Returns:
    
    Java object
    
    Throws:
    
    ConverterException
