JsonDeserializeAs

```
@Target({ANNOTATION_TYPE,METHOD,FIELD,TYPE,PARAMETER})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface JsonDeserializeAs
```
Annotation to indicate override of deserialization target type; a more specialized type (sub-type) than declared one. Can be used on types (Classes) or on properties (property accessors like "getters", "setters" and constructor parameters). Overrides can apply to:
- value itself (for all types and properties)
- content of structured types (array and Collection elements; Map values)
- keys of Maps
To indicate that no override is to be used, Void.class is used as the marker (will use declared type) -- this is necessary as Annotation properties cannot have null values.
Example usage:
```
 public class POJO {
   @JsonDeserializeAs(ValueImpl.class)
   public Value value;

   @JsonDeserializeAs(keys = KeyEnum.class, content = ValueImpl.class)
   public Map<Object, Object> props;
 }
```

java.lang.Class<?> value
```
    Type to deserialize values as, instead of type declared. Must be a sub-type of declared type; otherwise an exception may be thrown by deserializer.
    Bogus type Void is used to indicate that declared type is used as-is (i.e. this annotation property has no setting).
    
    Default:
    
    java.lang.Void.class
- - content
```
java.lang.Class<?> content
```
    Type to deserialize content entries (array and Collection elements, Map values) as, instead of type declared. Must be a sub-type of declared type; otherwise an exception may be thrown by deserializer.
    Bogus type Void is used to indicate that declared type is used as-is (i.e. this annotation property has no setting).
    
    Default:
    
    java.lang.Void.class
- - keys
```
java.lang.Class<?> keys
```
    Type to deserialize Map keys as, instead of type declared. Must be a sub-type of declared type; otherwise an exception may be thrown by deserializer.
    Bogus type Void is used to indicate that declared type is used as-is (i.e. this annotation property has no setting).
    
    Default:
    
    java.lang.Void.class
