Testing Parameterized Type Handling Implementation in google/gson
This test suite validates the functionality of GSON’s internal type handling mechanisms, focusing on parameterized types, type variables, and map key/value type resolution. The tests ensure proper type handling for generic classes, inner classes, and type equality comparisons.
