/**
 * Annotation used to mark a POJO property to be automatically populated with the document's ID when
 * the POJO is created from a Cloud Firestore document (for example, via {@link
 * DocumentSnapshot#toObject}).
 *
 * Any of the following will throw a runtime exception:
 *
 * 

 *   This annotation is applied to a property of a type other than String or {@link
 *       DocumentReference}.
 *   
This annotation is applied to a property that is not writable (for example, a Java Bean
 *       getter without a backing field).
 *   
This annotation is applied to a property with a name that conflicts with a read document
 *       field. For example, if a POJO has a field `firstName` annotated by @DocumentId, and there
 *       is a property from the document named `firstName` as well, an exception is thrown when you
 *       try to read the document into the POJO via {@link DocumentSnapshot#toObject} or {@link
 *       DocumentReference#get}.
 *   

 * 
 *
 * When using a POJO to write to a document (via {@link DocumentReference#set} or @{@link
 * WriteBatch#set}), the property annotated by @DocumentId is ignored, which allows writing the POJO
 * back to any document, even if it's not the origin of the POJO.
