Method TypeToken

output/java_guava/1.4.17/TypeToken.java:119–124

Constructs a new type token of T. Clients create an empty anonymous subclass. Doing so embeds the type parameter in the anonymous class's type hierarchy so we can reconstitute it at runtime despite erasure. For example: {@code TypeToken > t = new TypeToken<List<
