/**
* Annotation used to indicate when value of the annotated property (when
* used for a field, method or constructor parameter), or all
* properties of the annotated class, is to be serialized.
* Without annotation property values are always included, but by using
* this annotation one can specify simple exclusion rules to reduce
* amount of properties to write out.
*
* Note that the main inclusion criteria (one annotated with {@link #value})
* is checked on Java object level, for the annotated type,
* and NOT on JSON output -- so even with {@link Include#NON_NULL}
* it is possible that JSON null values are output, if object reference
* in question is not `null`. An example is {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference}
* instance constructed to reference null value: such a value
* would be serialized as JSON null, and not filtered out.
*
* To base inclusion on value of contained value(s), you will typically also need
* to specify {@link #content()} annotation; for example, specifying only
* {@link #value} as {@link Include#NON_EMPTY} for a {link java.util.Map} would
* exclude Maps with no values, but would include Maps
* with `null` values. To exclude Map with only `null` value, you would use both
* annotations like so:
*
*public class Bean {
* {@literal @JsonInclude}(value=Include.NON_EMPTY, content=Include.NON_NULL)
* public Map<String,String> entries;
*}
*
* Similarly you could Maps that only contain
* "empty" elements, or "non-default" values (see {@link Include#NON_EMPTY} and
* {@link Include#NON_DEFAULT} for more details).
*
* In addition to `Map`s, `content` concept is also supported for referential
* types (like {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference}).
* Note that `content` is NOT currently (as of Jackson 2.9) supported for
* arrays or {@link java.util.Collection}s, but supported may be added in
* future versions.
*
* @since 2.0

NON_ABSENT,
/**
* Value that indicates that only properties with null value,
* or what is considered empty, are not to be included.
* Definition of emptiness is data type specific; see below
* for details on actual handling.
*
* Default emptiness for all types includes:
*
* Null values.- "Absent" values (see {@link #NON_ABSENT})
*
* so that as baseline, "empty" set includes values that would be
* excluded by both {@link #NON_NULL} and {@link #NON_ABSENT}.
*
* Beyond this base, following types have additional empty values:
*
* - For {@link java.util.Collection}s and {@link java.util.Map}s,
* method
isEmpty() is called;
*
* - For Java arrays, empty arrays are ones with length of 0
*
* - For Java {@link java.lang.String}s,
length() is called,
* and return value of 0 indicates empty String
*
*
* and for other types, null values are excluded but other exclusions (if any).
*
* Note that this default handling can be overridden by custom
* JsonSerializer implementation: if method isEmpty()
* is overridden, it will be called to see if non-null values are
* considered empty (null is always considered empty).
*
* Compatibility note: Jackson 2.6 included a wider range of "empty" values than
* either earlier (up to 2.5) or later (2.7 and beyond) types; specifically:
*
* - Default values of primitive types (like
0 for `int`/`java.lang.Integer`
* and `false` for `bool`/`Boolean`)
*
* - Timestamp 0 for date/time types
*
*
* With 2.7, definition has been tightened back to only containing types explained
* above (null, absent, empty String, empty containers), and now
* extended definition may be specified using {@link #NON_DEFAULT}.
*/
NON_EMPTY,
/**
* Meaning of this setting depends on context: whether annotation is
* specified for POJO type (class), or not. In latter case annotation
* is either used as the global default, or as property override.
*
* When used for a POJO, definition is that only values that differ from
* the default values of POJO properties are included. This is done
* by creating an instance of POJO using zero-argument constructor,
* and accessing property values: value is used as the default value
* by using equals() method, except for the case where property
* has `null` value in which case straight null check is used.
*
* When NOT used for a POJO (that is, as a global default, or as property
* override), definition is such that:
*
* - All values considered "empty" (as per {@link #NON_EMPTY}) are excluded
* - Primitive/wrapper default values are excluded
* - Date/time values that have timestamp (`long` value of milliseconds since
* epoch, see {@link java.util.Date}) of `0L` are excluded
*

NON_DEFAULT,
/**
* Value that indicates that separate `filter` Object (specified by
* {@link JsonInclude#valueFilter} for value itself, and/or
* {@link JsonInclude#contentFilter} for contents of structured types)
* is to be used for determining inclusion criteria.
* Filter object's equals() method is called with value
* to serialize; if it returns true value is excluded
* (that is, filtered out); if false value is included.
