/**
* An annotation that indicates this member should be serialized to JSON with
* the provided name value as its field name.
*
* This annotation will override any {@link nl.topicus.jdbc.shaded.com.google.gson.FieldNamingPolicy}, including
* the default field naming policy, that may have been set on the {@link nl.topicus.jdbc.shaded.com.google.gson.Gson}
* instance. A different naming policy can set using the {@code GsonBuilder} class. See
* {@link nl.topicus.jdbc.shaded.com.google.gson.GsonBuilder#setFieldNamingPolicy(nl.topicus.jdbc.shaded.com.google.gson.FieldNamingPolicy)}
* for more information.
*
* Here is an example of how this annotation is meant to be used:
*
* public class MyClass {
* @SerializedName("name") String a;
* @SerializedName(value="name1", alternate={"name2", "name3"}) String b;
* String c;
*
* public MyClass(String a, String b, String c) {
* this.a = a;
* this.b = b;
* this.c = c;
* }
* }
*
*
* The following shows the output that is generated when serializing an instance of the
* above example class:
*
* MyClass target = new MyClass("v1", "v2", "v3");
* Gson gson = new Gson();
* String json = gson.toJson(target);
* System.out.println(json);
*
* ===== OUTPUT =====
* {"name":"v1","name1":"v2","c":"v3"}
*
*
* NOTE: The value you specify in this annotation must be a valid JSON field name.
* While deserializing, all values specified in the annotation will be deserialized into the field.
* For example:
*
* MyClass target = gson.fromJson("{'name1':'v1'}", MyClass.class);
* assertEquals("v1", target.b);
* target = gson.fromJson("{'name2':'v2'}", MyClass.class);
* assertEquals("v2", target.b);
* target = gson.fromJson("{'name3':'v3'}", MyClass.class);
* assertEquals("v3", target.b);
*
* Note that MyClass.b is now deserialized from either name1, name2 or name3.
