13 /**
14  * Indicates that the field can be represented in JSON
15  * with multiple possible alternative names.
16  * [Json] format recognizes this annotation and is able to decode
17  * the data using any of the alternative names.
18  *
19  * Unlike [SerialName] annotation, does not affect JSON encoding in any way.
20  *
21  * Example of usage:
22  * ```
23  * @Serializable
24  * data class Project(@JsonNames("title") val name: String)
25  *
26  * val project = Json.decodeFromString<Project>("""{"name":"kotlinx.serialization"}""")
27  * println(project) // OK
28  * val oldProject = Json.decodeFromString<Project>("""{"title":"kotlinx.coroutines"}""")
29  * println(oldProject) // Also OK
30  * ```
31  *
32  * This annotation has lesser priority than [SerialName].
33  * In practice, this means that if property A has `@SerialName("foo")` annotation, and property B has `@JsonNames("foo")` annotation,
34  * Json key `foo` will be deserialized into property A.
35  *
36  * Using the same alternative name for different properties across one class is prohibited and leads to a deserialization exception.
37  *

45 /**
46  * Specifies key for class discriminator value used during polymorphic serialization in [Json].
47  * Provided key is used only for an annotated class and its subclasses;
48  * to configure global class discriminator, use [JsonBuilder.classDiscriminator]
49  * property.
50  *
51  * This annotation is [inheritable][InheritableSerialInfo], so it should be sufficient to place it on a base class of hierarchy.
52  * It is not possible to define different class discriminators for different parts of class hierarchy.
53  * Pay attention to the fact that class discriminator, same as polymorphic serializer's base class, is
54  * determined statically.
55  *
56  * Example:
57  * ```
58  * @Serializable
59  * @JsonClassDiscriminator("message_type")
60  * abstract class Base
61  *
62  * @Serializable // Class discriminator is inherited from Base
63  * abstract class ErrorClass: Base()
64  *
65  * @Serializable
66  * class Message(val message: Base, val error: ErrorClass?)
67  *
68  * val message = Json.decodeFromString<Message>("""{"message": {"message_type":"my.app.BaseMessage", "message": "not found"}, "error": {"message_type":"my.app.GenericError", "error_code": 404}}""")
