public class MinervaUser {
	
	private String name;
	private int age;
	
	public MinervaUser(String name, int age) {
		this.name = name;
		this.age = age;
	}
	
	public MinervaUser() {
	}
	
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	
	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}
	
	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "MinervaUser{" +
			"name='" + name + '\'' +
			", age=" + age +
			'}';
	}
}

Serialize:

Minerva minerva = MinervaFactory.createMinerva();
		
MinervaUser minervaUser = new MinervaUser("Minerva", 1);
		
JSONObject jsonObject = minerva.fromEntity(minervaUser);

Result:

{
    "name": "Minerva"
    "age": 1
}

Deserialize:

MinervaUser minervaUser = minerva.toEntity(jsonObject, MinervaUser.class);

Preload entity meta to reduce load at serilization:

minerva.map(MinervaUser.class);
