Use a Class for a generic type?
is there a way to for example do
In case this is xy problem: I have a class called DataObject for storing some extra data on things, and it has a generic type for what type of data it's storing. There's another class called DataMap that takes its own generic type and extends DataObject with a HashMap<DataObject<T>, DataObject<?>>. I'm then serializing it to json with gson as my method of storing it in a file, but I need a custom deserializer for it, and I'm getting errors for it not being able to convert HashMap<DataObject<?>, DataObject<?>> to HashMap<DataObject<T>, DataObject<T>>. Storing the class name in the json is my current idea for a workaround.
