Enclosing class:

Encoding

@Target(METHOD)
@Retention(SOURCE)
public static @interface Encoding.IsInit

Template method for internal purposes that describes how to ask builder if an attribute was initialized. This must be a boolean-returning no-arg accessor method on a builder. Implementation will always be private regardless if provided method is defined as private or not. If builder encoding is not defined (i.e. no Encoding.Builder), the generator will infer this as a a null check, but if builder encoding is defined with no such IsInit provided, then encoding will be unable to generate code for instantiations of Value.Default or Value.Derived attributes.
