I thought I had this one solved, but no. Checked the solution. My feeling is that this task is sort of a bandaid on bad project design. If the two classes have the same variables and are meant to be swapped this way, then they probably should be one class, or one of them should inherit the other, or both of them should inherit a parent class, or they should both implement the same interface. Once you have a solution that's concatenating escape-sequenced characters in the way the official solution does here, I feel like there has to be a better way to do this. Converting one Java object into another Java object should not require passing the object through JSON.
