`TypeDescriptor()`

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`String`	`getItemType()`
`Map<String,PropertyTypeDescriptor>`	`getPropertyDescriptors(TypeMapping typeMapping)` This method is not synchronized to avoid thread blocking, but the method guarantees that the returned map is not mutated afterward.
`PropertyTypeDescriptor`	`getPropertyTypeDescriptor(String propertyName, TypeMapping typeMapping)`
`Node2BeanTransformer`	`getTransformer()` Can return a custom transformer.
`Class<?>`	`getType()`
`boolean`	`isArray()`
`boolean`	`isCollection()`
`boolean`	`isMap()`
`boolean`	`needsDefaultMapping()`
`void`	`setArray(boolean isArray)`
`void`	`setCollection(boolean isCollection)`
`void`	`setItemType(String itemType)`
`void`	`setMap(boolean isMap)`
`void`	`setTransformer(Node2BeanTransformer transformer)`
`void`	`setType(Class<?> type)`

public void setItemType(String itemType)

public void setCollection(boolean isCollection)

public void setArray(boolean isArray)

                                               TypeMapping typeMapping)

getPropertyDescriptors
```
public Map<String,PropertyTypeDescriptor> getPropertyDescriptors(TypeMapping typeMapping)
```
This method is not synchronized to avoid thread blocking, but the method guarantees that the returned map is not mutated afterward.

```
Can return a custom transformer. Otherwise null.
