def register_deserializable(cls: Type[T]) -> Type[T]:
    """
    A class decorator to register a class as deserializable.

    When a class is decorated with @register_deserializable, it becomes
    a part of the set of classes that the JSONSerializable class can
    deserialize.

    Deserialization is in essence loading attributes from a json file.
    This decorator is a security measure put in place to make sure that
    you don't load attributes that were initially part of another class.

    Example:
        @register_deserializable
        class ChildClass(JSONSerializable):
            def __init__(self, ...):
                # initialization logic

    Args:
        cls (Type): The class to be registered.

    Returns:
        Type: The same class, after registration.
