                          java.lang.Object dto)
        Convert the DTO object in arguments to a Tag object with rootName as name.

        Keys in Map and public fields' name are used to name tags.
        Objects in Collection or array are converted to XML elements and tags names are computed as follow:

        • If the parent element tag does not have a defined name, arrayElementName will be used.
        • If the parent element tag name ends with a 's' or 'S', the depluralized version will be used.
        • Otherwise, the first letter of arrayElementName is capitalized and appended to the parent element tag name to name the tag (If the parent element tag name does not end with a lowercase letter, arrayElementName is entirely capitalized and an '_' is first appended to to it)

        Example:

         fromDTO("things", "element", `[{"FRIEND": ["Amy"]},{"children": ["Emily"]},["Bob", "Bill"]]`)
        gives 
         
 <things>
    <thing>
       <FRIEND>
          <FRIEND_ELEMENT>Amy</FRIEND_ELEMENT>
       </FRIEND>
       <children>
          <childrenElement>Emily</childrenElement>
       </children>
    </thing>
    <thing>
       <element>Bob</element>
       <element>Bill</element>
    </thing>
 </things>

        null values are ignored.

        Parameters:
        rootName - the name of the root tag, may be null.
        arrayElementName - a generic name for elements in lists, if null or empty, the default value "element" will be used.
        dto - the DTO to convert, if null an empty element is returned.
        Returns:
        the corresponding Tag, never null.
