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

- Packages that use ClassKey
  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.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.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.

    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected Map<ClassKey,Class<?>>` | MapperConfigBase.`_mixInAnnotations` Mix-in annotation mappings to use, if any: immutable, can not be changed once defined.

    Constructor parameters in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.cfg with type arguments of type ClassKey
    Constructor and Description
    `MapperConfigBase(BaseSettings base, SubtypeResolver str, Map<ClassKey,Class<?>> mixins)` Constructor used when creating a new instance (compared to that of creating fluent copies)

  - ### Uses of ClassKey in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser

    Fields in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser with type parameters of type ClassKey
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected HashMap<ClassKey,JsonDeserializer<Object>>` | BeanDeserializerBase.`_subDeserializers` Lazily constructed map used to contain deserializers needed for polymorphic subtypes.

    Fields in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.module with type parameters of type ClassKey
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected HashMap<ClassKey,ValueInstantiator>` | SimpleValueInstantiators.`_classMappings` Mappings from raw (type-erased, i.e.
    `protected HashMap<ClassKey,JsonSerializer<?>>` | SimpleSerializers.`_classMappings` Class-based mappings that are used both for exact and sub-class matches.

    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected LRUMap<ClassKey,JavaType>` | TypeFactory.`_typeCache` Since type resolution can be expensive (specifically when resolving actual generic types), we will use small cache to avoid repetitive resolution of core types
