Trims all Strings encountered within an Object graph recursively

TrimObjectGraph

Trims all Strings encountered within an Object graph recursively.

This utility uses Java Reflection API to traverse through an object graph with disciplined syntax of getters and setters and recursively trims the String properties.

1. If the current level of Property is of type String
2. If its an Object Array of Properties
3. If its a String array
4. If its a type of Java Collection class
5. Separate placement for Map with special conditions to process its keys and values

Next Steps

1. Handle undisciplined syntax of properties (invalid getters/setters)
2. Handle chained Collections: for example, List<List<Person>>
3. Guava collection library support
