Get the result of a Object path expression as a java Object.
E.g. given the following Object document:
<pre>
{ "store": {
"book": [
{ "category": "reference",
"author": "Nigel Rees",
"title": "Sayings of the Century",
"price": 8.95
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "Evelyn Waugh",
"title": "Sword of Honour",
"price": 12.99
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "Herman Melville",
"title": "Moby Dick",
"isbn": "0-553-21311-3",
"price": 8.99
},
{ "category": "fiction",
"author": "J. R. R. Tolkien",
"title": "The Lord of the Rings",
"isbn": "0-395-19395-8",
"price": 22.99
}
],
"bicycle": {
"color": "red",
"price": 19.95
}
}
}
</pre>
And a Java object like this:
<p/>
<pre>
public class Book {
private String category;
private String author;
private String title;
private String isbn;
private float price;

public String getCategory() {
return category;
}

public void setCategory(String category) {
this.category = category;
}

public String getAuthor() {
return author;
}

public void setAuthor(String author) {
this.author = author;
}

public String getTitle() {
return title;
}

public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}

public String getIsbn() {
return isbn;
}

public void setIsbn(String isbn) {
this.isbn = isbn;
}

public float getPrice() {
return price;
}

public void setPrice(float price) {
this.price = price;
}
}
</pre>
<p/>
Then
<pre>
Book book = from(Object).getObject("store.book[2]", Book.class);
</pre>
<p/>
maps the second book to a Book instance.

@param path       The path to the object to map
@param objectType The class type of the expected object
@param <T>        The type of the expected object
@return The object
