Class TypeReference<T>

java.lang.Object

com.alibaba.fastjson.TypeReference<T>

public class TypeReference<T>
extends Object

Represents a generic type T. Java doesn't yet provide a way to represent generic types, so this class does. Forces clients to create a subclass of this class which enables retrieval the type information even at runtime.

For example, to create a type literal for List<String>, you can create an empty anonymous inner class:

 TypeReference<List<String>> list = new TypeReference<List<String>>() {};
 

This syntax cannot be used to create type literals that have wildcard parameters, such as Class<?> or List<? extends CharSequence>.
