For example, you cannot put a Pydantic model in a `JSONResponse` without first converting it to a `dict` with all the data types (like `datetime`, `UUID`, etc) converted to JSON-compatible types.

For those cases, you can use the `jsonable_encoder` to convert your data before passing it to a response:

    assertEquals((Integer) 2, converter.convert("two"));
    assertThrows(IllegalArgumentException.class, () -> converter.convert("three"));

    biMap.put("three", 3);

    assertEquals((Integer) 1, converter.convert("one"));
    assertEquals((Integer) 2, converter.convert("two"));
    assertEquals((Integer) 3, converter.convert("three"));

Então, um objeto `datetime` teria que ser convertido em um `str` contendo os dados no [formato ISO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601).

Da mesma forma, este banco de dados não receberia um modelo Pydantic (um objeto com atributos), apenas um `dict`.
