public interface EntityLoader
Defines the contract for reconstructing domain entities from a flattened configuration memory. *

Note: This is an experimental feature and is currently considered unstable. It serves as a core component of the mapping system, responsible for the deserialization phase where path-based key-value pairs are unflattened and transformed back into complex objects.

      <T> Optional<T> load(DataMemory<String> memory, String path, Class<T> type)
      Loads and reconstructs an entity from the provided DataMemory based on a specific path.
      Type Parameters:
      T - the expected type of the reconstructed entity.
      Parameters:
      memory - the source memory implementation containing the flattened data.
      path - the base configuration path (e.g., "database.mysql") where the entity's data is stored.
      type - the class literal of the entity to be reconstructed.
      Returns:
      an Optional containing the reconstructed entity, or Optional.empty() if the data is missing or incompatible.
