Jackson is "the Java JSON library" or "the best JSON parser for Java". Or simply as "JSON for Java".

Jackson Annotations Source Code files are provided in the source packge (jackson-annotations-2.14.0-sources.jar). You can download it at Jackson Maven Website.

/**
 * Marker annotation that indicates that the logical property that
 * the accessor (field, getter/setter method or Creator parameter
 * [of {@link JsonCreator}-annotated constructor or factory method])
 * is to be ignored by introspection-based
 * serialization and deserialization functionality.
 *<p>
 * Annotation only needs to be added to one of the accessors (often
 * getter method, but may be setter, field or creator parameter),
 * if the complete removal of the property is desired.
 * However: if only particular accessor is to be ignored (for example,
 * when ignoring one of potentially conflicting setter methods),
 * this can be done by annotating other not-to-be-ignored accessors
 * with {@link JsonProperty} (or its equivalents). This is considered
 * so-called "split property" case and allows definitions of
 * "read-only" (read from input into POJO) and "write-only" (write
 * in output but ignore on output)
 *<br>
 * NOTE! As Jackson 2.6, there is a new and improved way to define
 * `read-only` and `write-only` properties, using
 * {@link JsonProperty#access()} annotation: this is recommended over
 * use of separate <code>JsonIgnore</code> and {@link JsonProperty}
 * annotations.
 *<p>
 * For example, a "getter" method that would otherwise denote
 * a property (like, say, "getValue" to suggest property "value")
 * to serialize, would be ignored and no such property would
 * be output unless another annotation defines alternative method to use.
 *<p>
 * When ignoring the whole property, the default behavior if encountering
 * such property in input is to ignore it without exception; but if there
 * is a {@link JsonAnySetter} it will be called instead. Either way,
 * no exception will be thrown.
 *<p>
 * Annotation is usually used just a like a marker annotation, that
 * is, without explicitly defining 'value' argument (which defaults
 * to <code>true</code>): but argument can be explicitly defined.
 * This can be done to override an existing `JsonIgnore` by explicitly
 * defining one with 'false' argument: either in a subclass, or by
 * using "mix-in annotations".
