JsonFormatType (Manifold :: Json 2026.1.6 API)

java.lang.Object
- manifold.api.json.codegen.schema.JsonFormatType

All Implemented Interfaces:

IJsonType
```
public class JsonFormatType
extends Object
implements IJsonType
```
This type facilitates mapping a Java type to a JSON "format" type such as "date-time.
Implement the IJsonFormatTypeCoercer service provider to map your own formats with Java types.
