I'm sitting here with a lot of questions, but they appear because of my intelligence lack, so I need to rewatch the video a few more times. Thanks for your work, I appreciate it, my knowledge is going to be extended.

To extend on the usage of the converters in main, instead of creating two executables, one doing xml->json and the other vice versa, could we create a single executable that would take arguments to designate which conversion to do?

Honestly that cant be so simple
My brain says for me
Factory method pattern is a method that return an instance
Abstract method pattern is a multiple methods that return an instances
