Enum Annotations

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Annotations>

    public enum Annotations
    extends java.lang.Enum<Annotations>
    Enumeration that defines standard annotation sets available for configuring data binding aspects.
    Since:
    2.2 (earlier located in actual datatype-specific modules)

      JACKSON
      Standard Jackson annotations, defined in Jackson core and databind packages
      JAXB
      Standard JAXB annotations, used in a way that approximates expected definitions (since JAXB defines XML aspects, not all features map well to JSON handling)

      • values

        public static Annotations[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (Annotations c : Annotations.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static Annotations valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
