Contains methods for translating various object types to specific class instances and data types.
NOTE
In order for complex data types in arrays to correctly translate,
you need to ensure to add the following to your project's compiler options:
-keep-as3-metadata ArrayElementType
and any other custom metadata tags used in your project necessary for proper object translation.
Also you will need to add the ArrayElementType metadata tags to your classes.
