## Annotation Type JsonSubTypes.Type

-     public static @interface JsonSubTypes.Type

  Definition of a subtype, along with optional name(s). If no name is defined (empty Strings are ignored), class of the type will be checked for `JsonTypeName` annotation; and if that is also missing or empty, a default name will be constructed by type id mechanism. Default name is usually based on class name.
