-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When inspecting your custom data structures, there's no need to include the jars containing the class definitions for them
+in the classpath. The blob inspector (or rather the serialization framework) is able to synthesis any classes found in the
+blob that aren't on the classpath.

 One thing to note is that the binary blob may contain embedded ``SerializedBytes`` objects. Rather than printing these
 out as a Base64 string, the blob inspector will first materialise them into Java objects and then output those. You will

 Notice the file is actually a serialised ``SignedNodeInfo`` object, which has a ``raw`` property of type ``SerializedBytes<NodeInfo>``.
 This property is materialised into a ``NodeInfo`` and is output under the ``deserialized`` field.
