-/**
- * An annotation that indicates this member should be exposed for JSON
- * serialization or deserialization.
- *
- * <p>This annotation has no effect unless you build {@link com.google.gson.Gson}
- * with a {@link com.google.gson.GsonBuilder} and invoke
- * {@link com.google.gson.GsonBuilder#excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation()}
- * method.</p>
- *
- * <p>Here is an example of how this annotation is meant to be used:
- * <p><pre>
- * public class User {
- *   &#64Expose private String firstName;
- *   &#64Expose(serialize = false) private String lastName;
- *   &#64Expose (serialize = false, deserialize = false) private String emailAddress;
- *   private String password;
- * }
- * </pre></p>
- * If you created Gson with {@code new Gson()}, the {@code toJson()} and {@code fromJson()}
- * methods will use the {@code password} field along-with {@code firstName}, {@code lastName},
- * and {@code emailAddress} for serialization and deserialization. However, if you created Gson
- * with {@code Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation().create()}
- * then the {@code toJson()} and {@code fromJson()} methods of Gson will exclude the
- * {@code password} field. This is because the {@code password} field is not marked with the
- * {@code @Expose} annotation. Gson will also exclude {@code lastName} and {@code emailAddress}
- * from serialization since {@code serialize} is set to {@code false}. Similarly, Gson will
- * exclude {@code emailAddress} from deserialization since {@code deserialize} is set to false.
- *
- * <p>Note that another way to achieve the same effect would have been to just mark the
- * {@code password} field as {@code transient}, and Gson would have excluded it even with default
- * settings. The {@code @Expose} annotation is useful in a style of programming where you want to
- * explicitly specify all fields that should get considered for serialization or deserialization.
