ClassKey (The Adobe Experience Manager SDK 2021.8.5705.20210810T082946Z-210700)

java.lang.Object
- com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.ClassKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ClassKey>
```
public final class ClassKey
extends Object
implements Comparable<ClassKey>, Serializable
```
Key class, used as an efficient and accurate key for locating per-class values, such as JsonSerializers.
The reason for having a separate key class instead of directly using Class as key is mostly to allow for redefining hashCode method -- for some strange reason, Class does not redefine Object.hashCode() and thus uses identity hash, which is pretty slow. This makes key access using Class unnecessarily slow.
Note: since class is not strictly immutable, caller must know what it is doing, if changing field values.
