[Route("api/content")]

        private readonly IPublishedContentQuery _publishedContent;

        }

        [HttpGet("{id:guid}")]
        public IActionResult Get(Guid id)
        {
            var content = _publishedContent.Content(id);
            return Ok(_contentResolver.Value.ResolveContent(content));
        }
    }

Creating and adding a converter

To create a converter for your custom editor you need to implement the IConverter interface.

// Converter:
public class SampleConverter : IConverter
    {
        public string EditorAlias => "My.PropertyEditorAlias";

        public object Convert(object value)
        {
            // If the value is already in a json supported format, just return it.
            // Otherwise convert it to a friendly format here.
            return value;
        }
    }
// Composer:
    public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder)
        {
            builder.Converters().Append<SampleConverter>();
        }

Replace an exsisting converter

To replace a converter just add the following to the composer:

builder.Converters()
    .Replace<ConverterToReplace, SampleConverter>();
