Interface AnnotationElement

public sealed interface AnnotationElement
Models an element-value pair in the element_value_pairs table in the annotation structure defined in JVMS 4.7.16 or the type_annotation structure defined in JVMS 4.7.20.

Two AnnotationElement objects should be compared using the equals method.

    • name

      Utf8Entry name()
      Returns the element name.
      API Note:
      In Java source code, by convention, the name of the sole element in a single-element annotation interface is value. (JLS 9.6.1) This is the case for single-element annotations (JLS 9.7.3) and container annotations for multiple annotations (JLS 9.6.3).
      Returns:
      the element name

    • value

      AnnotationValue value()
      Returns the element value.
      Returns:
      the element value

    • of
