## Uses of Class
org.codehaus.jackson.map.type.CollectionType

- Packages that use CollectionType
  Package | Description
  --- | ---
  org.codehaus.jackson.map | 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`
  org.codehaus.jackson.map.deser | Contains implementation classes of deserialization part of data binding.
  org.codehaus.jackson.map.module | Package that contains classes and interfaces to help implement custom extension `Module`s (which are registered using `ObjectMapper.registerModule(org.codehaus.jackson.map.Module)`.
  org.codehaus.jackson.map.ser | Contains implementation classes of serialization part of data binding.
  org.codehaus.jackson.map.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).
