My instinct would be to delegate the call to the klaxon instance, but that gives a StackOverflowError, which makes sense.
Some context, in case it's helpful: I'm in the process of updating from klaxon 5.0.1 to the latest version. In 5.0 I was using field converters in the cases where I needed them, and then delegating to my klaxon instance to parse in those cases. However, in 5.1, this appears to break. I have a class Getter<T>, which can have other Getters as properties. A Getter has a get() method that calculates and returns a value based on the values returned by its component Getters. I have a number of subclasses of Getter, and I determine which to parse it as using class polymorphism. The issue comes from trying to parse a getter with another getter as a property, as when I do so I get an error saying that the parser doesn't know how to parse the object.
