Subclasses of JavaType in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
class	ArrayType Array types represent Java arrays, both primitive and object valued.
class	CollectionLikeType Type that represents things that act similar to Collection; but may or may not be instances of that interface.
class	CollectionType Type that represents Java Collection types (Lists, Sets).
