For example, if the target object is a Person class with a constructor function that takes a string parameter, you can convert the string to an object using the following method:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-type\">String<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-variable\">str<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-operator\">=<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"John\"<\/span>;\r\n<span class=\"hljs-type\">Person<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-variable\">person<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-operator\">=<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">new<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title class_\">Person<\/span>(str);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<ol>\n<li>The valueOf() method can be used in many Java classes to convert a string into an object.
