[apatrida]

<!channel>: 2.6.3-2 of Jackson Kotlin Module released, all generics inferred via extension functions will create an internal TypeReference instead of an erased class. So that you can just specify a shorter:

val myList: List<MyData> = JSON.readValue(jsonStr)

or

val myList = JSON.readValue<List<MyData>>(jsonStr)

and a full example:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.module.kotlin.readValue

data class MyData(val a: String, val b: Int)
val JSON = jacksonObjectMapper()  

val jsonStr = """[{"a": "value1", "b": 1}, {"a": "value2", "b": 2}]"""
val myList: List<MyData> = JSON.readValue(jsonStr)

no Class<T> parameter is required.

This release is on maven central, although may not appear in maven search engines for a few hours it is still useable from maven/gradle et al.
