## Annotation Type JsonAutoDetect

-     @Target(value={ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE})
      @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
      public @interface JsonAutoDetect

  Class annotation that can be used to define which kinds of Methods are to be detected by auto-detection. Auto-detection means using name conventions and/or signature templates to find methods to use for data binding. For example, so-called "getters" can be auto-detected by looking for public member methods that return a value, do not take argument, and have prefix "get" in their name.

  Pseudo-value `NONE` means that all auto-detection is disabled for the specific class that annotation is applied to (including its super-types, but only when resolving that class). Pseudo-value `ALWAYS` means that auto-detection is enabled for all method types for the class in similar way.

  The default value is `ALWAYS`: that is, by default, auto-detection is enabled for all classes unless instructed otherwise.

  Starting with version 1.5, it is also possible to use more fine-grained definitions, to basically define minimum visibility level needed. Defaults are different for different types (getters need to be public; setters can have any access modifier, for example).

    Optional Elements
    Modifier and Type | Optional Element and Description
    --- | ---
    `JsonAutoDetect.Visibility` | `creatorVisibility` Minimum visibility required for auto-detecting Creator methods, except for no-argument constructors (which are always detected no matter what).
    `JsonAutoDetect.Visibility` | `fieldVisibility` Minimum visibility required for auto-detecting member fields.
    `JsonAutoDetect.Visibility` | `getterVisibility` Minimum visibility required for auto-detecting regular getter methods.
    `JsonAutoDetect.Visibility` | `isGetterVisibility` Minimum visibility required for auto-detecting is-getter methods.
    `JsonAutoDetect.Visibility` | `setterVisibility` Minimum visibility required for auto-detecting setter methods.
