| * (here called fields, because we imply there are "types" in JSON) and for accessing subtypes. |
| * <p/> |
| * In this design casting to subtypes means getting a different object of the subtype interface. |
| * For a type interface, a set of subtypes is defined by its methods |
| * with {@link JsonSubtypeCasting} annotation. These methods provide access to subtype objects. |
