+# Sealed classes without @JsonSubTypes
+Subclasses can be detected automatically for sealed classes, since all possible subclasses are known
+at compile-time to Kotlin. This makes `com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonSubTypes` redundant.
+A `com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.@JsonTypeInfo` annotation at the base-class is still necessary.
