## Uses of Interface
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.util.Annotations

Packages that use Annotations
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind: Basic data binding (mapping) functionality that allows for reading JSON content into Java Objects (POJOs) and JSON Trees (`JsonNode`), as well as writing Java Objects and trees as JSON.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser: Contains implementation classes of deserialization part of data binding.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.impl: Contains those implementation classes of deserialization part of data binding that are not considered part of public or semi-public interfaces.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect: Functionality needed for Bean introspection, required for detecting accessors and mutators for Beans, as well as locating and handling method annotations.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser: Contains implementation classes of serialization part of data binding.
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ser.impl: Contains implementation classes of serialization part of data binding.
