* Describes a possible response of an operation.

* This can be used to describe possible success and error codes from your REST API call.
* You may or may not use this to describe the return type of the operation (normally a
* successful code), but the successful response should be described as well using the
* {@link ApiOperation}.
*
* This annotation can be applied at method or class level; class level annotations will
* be parsed only if an @ApiResponse annotation with the same code is not defined at method
* level or in thrown Exception
*
* If your API has uses a different response class for these responses, you can describe them
* here by associating a response class with a response code.
* Note, Swagger does not allow multiple response types for a single response code.
*
* This annotation is not used directly and will not be parsed by Swagger. It should be used
* within the {@link ApiResponses}.
