@Target({ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE,FIELD,METHOD,PARAMETER}) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface JsonSubTypes
Annotation used with JsonTypeInfo to indicate sub-types of serializable polymorphic types, and to associate logical names used within JSON content (which is more portable than using physical Java class names).

Note that just annotating a property or base type with this annotation does NOT enable polymorphic type handling: in addition, JsonTypeInfo or equivalent (such as enabling of so-called "default typing") annotation is needed, and only in such case is subtype information used.

      Subtypes of the annotated type (annotated class, or property value type associated with the annotated method). These will be checked recursively so that types can be defined by only including direct subtypes.
