Package com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation

Public core annotations, most of which are used to configure how Data Mapping/Binding works. Annotations in this package can only have dependencies to non-annotation classes in Core package; annotations that have dependencies to Mapper classes are included in Mapper module (under org.codehaus.jackson.map.annotate). Also contains parameter types (mostly enums) needed by annotations.

Note that prior versions (1.x) contained these annotations within 'core' jar, as part of Streaming API.
