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

Packages that use MapType
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)`.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser | Contains implementation classes of serialization part of data binding.
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).
