- org.codehaus.jackson.map.deser.impl.ExternalTypeHandler

```
public class ExternalTypeHandler
extends Object
```
Helper class that is used to flatten JSON structure when using "external type id" (see JsonTypeInfo.As.EXTERNAL_PROPERTY). This is needed to store temporary state and buffer tokens, as the structure is rearranged a bit so that actual type deserializer can resolve type and finalize deserialization.

Since:

1.9
