Annotation Type TargetClass

@Documented
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({FIELD,METHOD})
public @interface TargetClass
Specifies a concrete target class to apply to or retrieve from a field or method. This is typically used for converting a JSONArray of JSONObjects, or to specify a mapping of a specific JSON key to a JSONObject/Class mapping. This also supports allowing Fields to be assigned to an Interface or Abstract Class while defining the concrete class.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The concrete class must include a default, zero-parameter Constructor. Otherwise, a JSONConversionException will be thrown. If you wish to convert to a class that doesn't include a default constructor, then use a JSONValueConverter annotation instead.

Do not use with either a JSONValueConverter or ClassValueConverter
