Annotation Type JsonString

@Target(FIELD)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface JsonString

Use this annotation to specify that a declared numeric Java field should map to a JSON string.

By default declared Java numeric fields are stored as JSON numbers. For example:

class A {
@Key BigInteger value;
}

can be used for this JSON content:

{"value" : 12345768901234576890123457689012345768901234576890}

However, if instead the JSON content uses a JSON String to store the value, one needs to use the JsonString annotation. For example:

class B {
@Key @JsonString BigInteger value;
}

can be used for this JSON content:

{"value" : "12345768901234576890123457689012345768901234576890"}
