}
public <T> T fromJson( Reader jsonData, Type clazz ) {

}
The compiler is saying about the first method:

 Hi,
I'm using a recursive tree of hashmaps, specifically Hashmap map where Object is a reference to another Hashmap and so on. This will be passed around a recursive algorithm:

    for (Entry<String, Object> entry…
