In a Java Spring API, I'm implementing GeoJson Conversion Service to convert different types to geojson, I have GeoJsonConversionService interface, and one implementation is FileGeoJsonConversionServiceImpl class

First question: should the service name indicates the "action" or the "actor", which means should it named ConversionService or ConverterService.

Second: I found 2 examples of a conversion functionality, one used method overloading which is Jackson Library, and the other used method overriding, which is ResourceHttpMessageConverter

in Jackson, you have class ObjectMapper with different readTree methods, based on which type you convert to json, so you had readTree(InputStream in) and readTree(byte[] content) for exampleand so on.

in MessageConverter spring class, you have AbstractHttpMessageConverter abstract class, implemented by many classes, based on the conversion type also, such as ResourceHttpMessageConverter and StringHttpMessageConverter, all implementations implements readInternal function which is method overriding

so when to use method overloading over overriding?
