public interface Key implements Annotation

Use this annotation to specify that a field is a data key, optionally providing the data key name to use.

If the data key name is not specified, the default is the Java field's name. For example:

 public class A {

 // uses data key name of "dataKeyNameMatchesFieldName"
 @Key
 public String dataKeyNameMatchesFieldName;

 // uses data key name of "some_other_name"
 @Key("some_other_name")
 private String dataKeyNameIsOverridden;

 // not a data key
 private String notADataKey;
 }
