Annotation Type JsonProperty

@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface JsonProperty

Marker annotation that can be used to define a non-static method as a "setter" or "getter" for a logical property (depending on its signature), or non-static object field to be used (serialized, deserialized) as a logical property.

Default value ("") indicates that the field name is used as the property name without any modifications, but it can be specified to non-empty value to specify different name. Property name refers to name used externally, as the field name in Json objects.

NOTE: since version 1.1, annotation has also been applicable to fields (not with 1.0)
