 In YAML-speak, a custom data type is represented by a _tag_. To define your own tag, you need to account for the ways that your data is both parsed and stringified. Furthermore, both of those processes are split into two stages by the intermediate AST node structure.
 
 If you wish to implement your own custom tags, the [`!!binary`](https://github.com/eemeli/yaml/blob/main/src/schema/yaml-1.1/binary.ts) and [`!!set`](https://github.com/eemeli/yaml/blob/main/src/schema/yaml-1.1/set.ts) tags provide relatively cohesive examples to study in addition to the simple examples in the sidebar here.
 
+Custom collection types (ie, Maps, Sets, objects, and arrays; anything with child properties that may not be propertly serialized to a scalar value) may provide a `nodeClass` property that extends the [`YAMLMap`](https://github.com/eemeli/yaml/blob/main/src/nodes/YAMLMap.ts) and [`YAMLSeq`](https://github.com/eemeli/yaml/blob/main/src/nodes/YAMLSeq.ts) classes, which will be used for parsing and stringifying objects with the specified tag.
+
 ### Parsing Custom Data
 
 At the lowest level, the [`Lexer`](#lexer) and [`Parser`](#parser) will take care of turning string input into a concrete syntax tree (CST).
