Kotlin: Generic types in Kotlin
To get the class definition to be used for example for json deserialization the following can be used in Kotlin:
Map::class.java

A example usage is the following:
val map = mapper.readValue(json, Map::class.java)

But now how to have the generic type definition?
Something like this does not compile:
val map = mapper.readValue(decodedString, Map::class.java)

So my question is: What is the generic equivalent to *::class.java
