/**
* A kryo {@link FieldSerializer} that allows to exclusively include or exclude fields that
* are attributed with user-specific annotations. This can be for example useful when serializing beans that carry
* references to a dependency injection framework. As an example for Spring:
*
*
* {@code
* Set> marks = new HashSet<>();
* marks.add(Autowired.class);
* SerializerFactory disregardingFactory = new FieldAnnotationAwareSerializer.Factory(marks, true);
* Kryo kryo = new Kryo();
* kryo.setDefaultSerializer(factory);
* }
*
*
* The resulting {@link Kryo} instance would ignore all fields that are annotated with Spring's {@code @Autowired}
* annotation.
*
* Similarly, it is possible to created a serializer which does the opposite such that the resulting serializer
* would only serialize fields that are annotated with the specified annotations.
