```
    Method that will find all sub-classes and implemented interfaces of a given class or interface. Classes are listed in order of precedence, starting with the immediate super-class, followed by interfaces class directly declares to implemented, and then recursively followed by parent of super-class and so forth. Note that Object.class is not included in the list regardless of whether endBefore argument is defined or not.
    
    Parameters:
    
    endBefore - Super-type to NOT include in results, if any; when encountered, will be ignored (and no super types are checked).

    Helper method used to get default value for wrappers used for primitive types (0 for Integer etc)
  - wrapperType
```
public static Class<?> wrapperType(Class<?> primitiveType)
```
    Helper method for finding wrapper type for given primitive type (why isn't there one in JDK?). NOTE: throws IllegalArgumentException if given type is NOT primitive type (caller has to check).
  - primitiveType
```
public static Class<?> primitiveType(Class<?> type)
```
    Method that can be used to find primitive type for given class if (but only if) it is either wrapper type or primitive type; returns null if type is neither.
    
    Since:
    
    2.7
  - checkAndFixAccess
```
@Deprecated
public static void checkAndFixAccess(Member member)
```
    Deprecated. Since 2.7 call variant that takes boolean flag.
    Equivalent to call:
```
   checkAndFixAccess(member, false);
```
  - checkAndFixAccess
```
public static void checkAndFixAccess(Member member,
                                     boolean evenIfAlreadyPublic)
```
    Method that is called if a Member may need forced access, to force a field, method or constructor to be accessible: this is done by calling AccessibleObject.setAccessible(boolean).
    
    Parameters:
    
    member - Accessor to call setAccessible() on.
    
    evenIfAlreadyPublic - Whether to always try to make accessor accessible, even if public (true), or only if needed to force by-pass of non-public access (false)

  - isEnumType
```
public static boolean isEnumType(Class<?> rawType)
```
    Helper method that encapsulates reliable check on whether given raw type "is an Enum", that is, is or extends Enum.
    
    Since:
    
    2.10.1
  - findEnumType
```
public static Class<? extends Enum<?>> findEnumType(EnumSet<?> s)
```
    Helper method that can be used to dynamically figure out enumeration type of given EnumSet, without having access to its declaration. Code is needed to work around design flaw in JDK.
  - findEnumType
```
public static Class<? extends Enum<?>> findEnumType(EnumMap<?,?> m)
```
    Helper method that can be used to dynamically figure out enumeration type of given EnumSet, without having access to its declaration. Code is needed to work around design flaw in JDK.
  - findEnumType
```
public static Class<? extends Enum<?>> findEnumType(Enum<?> en)
```
    Helper method that can be used to dynamically figure out formal enumeration type (class) for given enumeration. This is either class of enum instance (for "simple" enumerations), or its superclass (for enums with instance fields or methods)
  - findEnumType
```
public static Class<? extends Enum<?>> findEnumType(Class<?> cls)
```
    Helper method that can be used to dynamically figure out formal enumeration type (class) for given class of an enumeration value. This is either class of enum instance (for "simple" enumerations), or its superclass (for enums with instance fields or methods)
  - findFirstAnnotatedEnumValue
```
public static <T extends Annotation> Enum<?> findFirstAnnotatedEnumValue(Class<Enum<?>> enumClass,
                                                                         Class<T> annotationClass)
```
    A method that will look for the first Enum value annotated with the given Annotation.
    If there's more than one value annotated, the first one found will be returned. Which one exactly is used is undetermined.
    
    Parameters:
    
    enumClass - The Enum class to scan for a value with the given annotation
    
    annotationClass - The annotation to look for.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Enum value annotated with the given Annotation or null if none is found.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if there's a reflection issue accessing the Enum
    
    Since:
    
    2.8
  - isJacksonStdImpl
```
public static boolean isJacksonStdImpl(Object impl)
```
    Method that can be called to determine if given Object is the default implementation Jackson uses; as opposed to a custom serializer installed by a module or calling application. Determination is done using JacksonStdImpl annotation on handler (serializer, deserializer etc) class.
    NOTE: passing `null` is legal, and will result in true being returned.
  - isJacksonStdImpl
```
public static boolean isJacksonStdImpl(Class<?> implClass)
```
  - isJDKClass
```
public static boolean isJDKClass(Class<?> rawType)
```
    Accessor for checking whether given Class is under Java package of java.* or javax.* (including all sub-packages), or (starting with Jackson 2.17), sun.*).
    Added since some aspects of handling need to be changed for JDK types (and possibly some extensions under javax.?): for example, forcing of access will not work well for future JDKs (12 and later).
    Note: in Jackson 2.11 only returned true for java.* (and not javax.*); was changed in 2.12. sun.* was added in 2.17.
    
    Since:
    
    2.11
  - isJDK17OrAbove
```
public static boolean isJDK17OrAbove()
```
    Convenience method for:
```
   return getJDKMajorVersion() >= 17
```
    that also catches any possible exceptions so it is safe to call from static contexts.
    Returns:
    
    True if we can determine that the code is running on JDK 17 or above; false otherwise.
    
    Since:
    
    2.15
  - getJDKMajorVersion
```
public static int getJDKMajorVersion()
```
    Returns:
    
    Major version of JDK we are running on
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - If JDK version information cannot be determined

  - getClassMethods
```
public static Method[] getClassMethods(Class<?> cls)
```
    Helper method that gets methods declared in given class; usually a simple thing, but sometimes (as per [databind#785]) more complicated, depending on classloader setup.
