Class HierarchicType

java.lang.Object
  com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.HierarchicType

public class HierarchicType
extends Object

Simple replacement for Class (and/or various Type subtypes) that is used as part of single-path extends/implements chain to express specific relationship between one subtype and one supertype. This is needed for resolving type parameters. Instances are doubly-linked so that chain can be traversed in both directions
