+# jackson-module-subtype
+
+Registering subtypes without annotating the parent class,
+see [this](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/2104).
+
+Implementation on SPI.
+
+# Usage
+
+Registering modules.
+
+```
+ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper().registerModule(new DynamicSubtypeModule());
+```
+
+Ensure that the parent class has at least the `JsonTypeInfo` annotation.
+
+```java
+@JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME, property = "type")
+public interface Parent {
+}
+```
+
+1. add the `JsonSubType` annotation to your subclass.
+2. provide a non-argument constructor (SPI require it).
+
+```java
+import io.github.black.jackson.JsonSubType;
+
+@JsonSubType("first-child")
+public class FirstChild {
+
+    private String foo;
+    // ...
+
+    public FirstChild() {
+    }
+}
+```
+
+SPI: Put the subclasses in the `META-INF/services` directory under the interface.
+Example: `META-INF/services/package.Parent`
+
+```
+package.FirstChild
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can also use the `auto-service` to auto-generate these files:
+
+```java
+import io.github.black.jackson.JsonSubType;
+import com.google.auto.service.AutoService;
+
+@AutoService(Parent.class)
+@JsonSubType("first-child")
+public class FirstChild {
+
+    private String foo;
+    // ...
+
+    public FirstChild() {
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Done, enjoy it.
