Uses of Class
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type.TypeReference

Packages that use TypeReference

Package	Description
com.fasterxml.jackson.core	Main public API classes of the core streaming JSON processor: most importantly JsonFactory used for constructing JSON parser (JsonParser) and generator (JsonGenerator) instances.
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type	Contains classes needed for type introspection, mostly used by data binding functionality.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind	Basic data binding (mapping) functionality that allows for reading JSON content into Java Objects (POJOs) and JSON Trees (JsonNode), as well as writing Java Objects and trees as JSON.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.cfg	Package that contains most of configuration-related classes; exception being couple of most-commonly used configuration things (like Feature enumerations) that are at the main level (com.fasterxml.jackson.databind).
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type	Package that contains concrete implementations of JavaType, as well as the factory (TypeFactory) for constructing instances from various input data types (like Class, Type) and programmatically (for structured types, arrays, Lists and Maps).

Uses of TypeReference in com.fasterxml.jackson.core

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core with parameters of type TypeReference

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
abstract <T> T	ObjectCodec.readValue(JsonParser p, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Method to deserialize JSON content into a Java type, reference to which is passed as argument.
<T> T	JsonParser.readValueAs(TypeReference<?> valueTypeRef)	Method to deserialize JSON content into a Java type, reference to which is passed as argument.
abstract <T> Iterator<T>	ObjectCodec.readValues(JsonParser p, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Method for reading sequence of Objects from parser stream, all with same specified value type.
<T> Iterator<T>	JsonParser.readValuesAs(TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Method for reading sequence of Objects from parser stream, all with same specified value type.

Uses of TypeReference in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.core.type with parameters of type TypeReference

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
int	TypeReference.compareTo(TypeReference<T> o)	The only reason we define this method (and require implementation of Comparable) is to prevent constructing a reference without type information.

Uses of TypeReference in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind

Methods in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind with parameters of type TypeReference

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
JavaType	ObjectMapper.constructType(TypeReference<?> typeRef)	Convenience method for constructing JavaType out of given type reference.
<T> T	ObjectMapper.convertValue(Object fromValue, TypeReference<T> toValueTypeRef)	See ObjectMapper.convertValue(Object, Class)
ObjectReader	ObjectReader.forType(TypeReference<?> valueTypeRef)	Method for constructing a new reader instance that is configured to data bind into specified type.
ObjectWriter	ObjectWriter.forType(TypeReference<?> rootType)	Method that will construct a new instance that uses specific type as the root type for serialization, instead of runtime dynamic type of the root object itself.
ObjectReader	ObjectMapper.reader(TypeReference<?> type)	Deprecated. Since 2.5, use ObjectMapper.readerFor(TypeReference) instead
ObjectReader	ObjectMapper.readerFor(TypeReference<?> typeRef)	Factory method for constructing ObjectReader that will read or update instances of specified type
<T> T	ObjectMapper.readValue(byte[] src, int offset, int len, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)
<T> T	ObjectMapper.readValue(byte[] src, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)
<T> T	ObjectMapper.readValue(JsonParser p, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Method to deserialize JSON content into a Java type, reference to which is passed as argument.
<T> T	ObjectMapper.readValue(File src, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Method to deserialize JSON content from given file into given Java type.
<T> T	ObjectMapper.readValue(InputStream src, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)
<T> T	ObjectMapper.readValue(Reader src, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)
<T> T	ObjectMapper.readValue(String content, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Method to deserialize JSON content from given JSON content String.
<T> T	ObjectMapper.readValue(URL src, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Same as ObjectMapper.readValue(java.net.URL, Class) except that target specified by TypeReference.
<T> T	ObjectReader.readValue(JsonParser p, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Convenience method that binds content read using given parser, using configuration of this reader, except that expected value type is specified with the call (instead of currently configured root type).
<T> MappingIterator<T>	ObjectMapper.readValues(JsonParser p, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Method for reading sequence of Objects from parser stream.
<T> Iterator<T>	ObjectReader.readValues(JsonParser p, TypeReference<T> valueTypeRef)	Convenience method that is equivalent to:
<T> T	ObjectMapper.treeToValue(TreeNode n, TypeReference<T> toValueTypeRef)	Same as ObjectMapper.treeToValue(TreeNode, JavaType) but target type specified using fully resolved TypeReference.
ObjectReader	ObjectReader.withType(TypeReference<?> valueTypeRef)	Deprecated. since 2.5 Use ObjectReader.forType(TypeReference) instead
ObjectWriter	ObjectWriter.withType(TypeReference<?> rootType)	Deprecated. since 2.5 Use ObjectWriter.forType(TypeReference) instead
ObjectWriter	ObjectMapper.writerFor(TypeReference<?> rootType)	Factory method for constructing ObjectWriter that will serialize objects using specified root type, instead of actual runtime type of value.
ObjectWriter	ObjectMapper.writerWithType(TypeReference<?> rootType)	Deprecated. Since 2.5, use ObjectMapper.writerFor(TypeReference) instead
