Package org.tomlj

Class GenericType<T>

java.lang.Object

org.tomlj.GenericType<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type to bind to.

public abstract class GenericType<T>
extends Object

A generic type to bind a table or array to, such as Map<String, Server> or List<Server>.

A Class cannot name a generic type, so a GenericType is created as an anonymous subclass that names it as its type argument:

 Map<String, Server> servers = table.as(new GenericType<Map<String, Server>>() {});
