/**
* General-purpose annotation used for configuring details of how
* values of properties are to be serialized.
* Unlike most other Jackson annotations, annotation does not
* have specific universal interpretation: instead, effect depends on datatype
* of property being annotated (or more specifically, deserializer
* and serializer being used).
*
* Common uses include choosing between alternate representations -- for example,
* whether {@link java.util.Date} is to be serialized as number (Java timestamp)
* or String (such as ISO-8601 compatible time value) -- as well as configuring
* exact details with {@link #pattern} property.
*
* As of Jackson 2.1, known special handling include:
*
* - {@link java.util.Date}: Shape can be {@link Shape#STRING} or {@link Shape#NUMBER};
* pattern may contain {@link java.text.SimpleDateFormat}-compatible pattern definition.
*
*
* Jackson 2.1 added following new features:
*
* - Can now be used on Classes (types) as well, for modified default behavior, possibly
* overridden by per-property annotation
*
* - {@link java.lang.Enum}s: Shapes {@link Shape#STRING} and {@link Shape#NUMBER} can be
* used to change between numeric (index) and textual (name or
toString());
* but it is also possible to use {@link Shape#OBJECT} to serialize (but not deserialize)
* {@link java.lang.Enum}s as JSON Objects (as if they were POJOs). NOTE: serialization
* as JSON Object only works with class annotation;
* will not work as per-property annotation.
*
* - {@link java.util.Collection}s can be serialized as (and deserialized from) JSON Objects,
* if {@link Shape#OBJECT} is used. NOTE: can ONLY be used as class annotation;
* will not work as per-property annotation.
*
