Use of square bracket for class instance

Support
1

In kotlin i am surprised to see the sqaure bracket while creating an instance of PackagePermissionsLiveData
Can someone explain how is that possible, PackagePermissionsLiveData is a class and not an array
val pkgPermGroups: Map<String, List>? = PackagePermissionsLiveData[packageName, user]

Any class can implement operator fun get(…), which in turn can be called using square brackets.
