/**
* Annotation used for indicating view(s) that the property
* that is defined by method or field annotated is part of.
*
* An example annotation would be:
*
* @JsonView(BasicView.class)
*
* which would specify that property annotated would be included
* when processing (serializing, deserializing) View identified
* by BasicView.class (or its subclass).
* If multiple View class identifiers are included, property will
* be part of all of them.
*
* Starting with 2.9, it is also possible to use this annotation on
* POJO classes to indicate the default view(s) for properties of the
* type, unless overridden by per-property annotation.
