        @Override
        public @NotNull ConfigurationSection convert() {
            ConfigurationSection section = new MemoryConfigurationSection();
            section.set("string", string);
            return section;
        }

        @Override
        public @NotNull Example convert(@NotNull ConfigurationSection section) {
            this.string = section.getString("string");
            return this;
        }
}
