TypeToken

open class TypeToken<T>

Represents a generic type {@code T}. Java doesn't yet provide a way to represent generic types, so this class does. Forces clients to create a subclass of this class which enables retrieval the type information even at runtime.

For example, to create a type literal for {@code List}, you can create an empty anonymous inner class:

{@code TypeToken

This syntax cannot be used to create type literals that have wildcard parameters, such as {@code Class} or {@code List}.
