public interface AnnotationMetadata
extends AnnotationSource

An interface implemented at compile time by Micronaut that allows the inspection of annotation metadata and stereotypes (meta-annotations)

.

This interface exposes fast and efficient means to expose annotation data at runtime without requiring reflective tricks to read the annotation metadata

Users of Micronaut should in general avoid the methods of the AnnotatedElement interface and use this interface instead to obtain maximum efficiency

Core framework types such as io.micronaut.inject.BeanDefinition and io.micronaut.inject.ExecutableMethod implement this interface

Since:

1.0
