## Uses of Class
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory

Packages that use TypeFactory
Package | Description
--- | ---
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind | Contains basic mapper (conversion) functionality that allows for converting between regular streaming json content and Java objects (beans or Tree Model: support for both is via `ObjectMapper` class, as well as convenience methods included in `JsonParser`
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.jsontype.impl | Package that contains standard implementations for `TypeResolverBuilder` and `TypeIdResolver`.
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, `List`s and `Map`s).
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.util | Utility classes for Mapper package.

`JavaType` | StdConverter.`getInputType(TypeFactory typeFactory)`
`JavaType` | Converter.`getInputType(TypeFactory typeFactory)` Method that can be used to find out actual input (source) type; this usually can be determined from type parameters, but may need to be implemented differently from programmatically defined converters (which can not change static type parameter bindings).
