# Object Property

This converter receives an object, it iterates through it using the path input and returns the found value casted in the type specified in the input type. If no value is found, it will use the default value. It can also be configured to fail if the property is not found. If for example, one has a raw event, it will have this kind of object :

If you wanted to access a property of this object, for example `$id`, you could use the input path as `event.$id` and input type `Integer`.
