Packages that use CollectionType
Package | Description
--- | ---
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser | Contains implementation classes of deserialization part of data binding.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.module | Package that contains classes and interfaces to help implement custom extension `Module`s (which are registered using `ObjectMapper.registerModule(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.Module)`.
