  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected JavaType` | `_narrow(java.lang.Class<?> subclass)` Deprecated.
    `boolean` | `equals(java.lang.Object o)`
    `java.lang.StringBuilder` | `getErasedSignature(java.lang.StringBuilder sb)` Method for accessing signature without generic type information, in form compatible with all versions of JVM, and specifically used for type descriptions when generating byte code.
    `java.lang.StringBuilder` | `getGenericSignature(java.lang.StringBuilder sb)`
    `JavaType` | `getSelfReferencedType()`
    `boolean` | `isContainerType()`
    `JavaType` | `refine(java.lang.Class<?> rawType, TypeBindings bindings, JavaType superClass, JavaType[] superInterfaces)` Mutant factory method that will try to create and return a sub-type instance for known parameterized types; for other types will return `null` to indicate that no just refinement makes necessary sense, without trying to detect special status through implemented interfaces.
    `void` | `setReference(JavaType ref)`
    `java.lang.String` | `toString()`
    `JavaType` | `withContentType(JavaType contentType)` Mutant factory method that may be called on structured types that have a so-called content type (element of arrays, value type of Maps, referenced type of referential types), and will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it has specified content type, instead of current one.
    `JavaType` | `withContentTypeHandler(java.lang.Object h)` Mutant factory method that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified content type (element type for arrays, value type for Maps and so forth) handler assigned.
    `JavaType` | `withContentValueHandler(java.lang.Object h)` Mutant factory method that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified content value handler assigned.
    `JavaType` | `withStaticTyping()` Method that can be called to get a type instance that indicates that values of the type should be handled using "static typing" for purposes of serialization (as opposed to "dynamic" aka runtime typing): meaning that no runtime information is needed for determining serializers to use.
    `JavaType` | `withTypeHandler(java.lang.Object h)` "Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified type handler assigned.
    `JavaType` | `withValueHandler(java.lang.Object h)` Mutant factory method that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified value handler assigned.

    - #### getSelfReferencedType

          public JavaType getSelfReferencedType()

    - #### getGenericSignature

          public java.lang.StringBuilder getGenericSignature(java.lang.StringBuilder sb)

      Specified by:
        `getGenericSignature` in class `TypeBase`
      Parameters:
        `sb` - StringBuilder to append signature to
      Returns:
        StringBuilder that was passed in; returned to allow call chaining

    - #### getErasedSignature

          public java.lang.StringBuilder getErasedSignature(java.lang.StringBuilder sb)

      Description copied from class: `JavaType`
      Method for accessing signature without generic type information, in form compatible with all versions of JVM, and specifically used for type descriptions when generating byte code.
      Specified by:
        `getErasedSignature` in class `TypeBase`
      Parameters:
        `sb` - StringBuilder to append signature to
      Returns:
        StringBuilder that was passed in; returned to allow call chaining

    - #### withContentType

          public JavaType withContentType(JavaType contentType)

      Description copied from class: `JavaType`
      Mutant factory method that may be called on structured types that have a so-called content type (element of arrays, value type of Maps, referenced type of referential types), and will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it has specified content type, instead of current one. If content type is already set to given type, `this` is returned. If type does not have a content type (which is the case with `SimpleType`), `IllegalArgumentException` will be thrown.
      Specified by:
        `withContentType` in class `JavaType`
      Returns:
        Newly created type instance

    - #### withTypeHandler

          public JavaType withTypeHandler(java.lang.Object h)

      Description copied from class: `JavaType`
      "Copy method" that will construct a new instance that is identical to this instance, except that it will have specified type handler assigned.
      Specified by:
        `withTypeHandler` in class `JavaType`
      Returns:
        Newly created type instance
