## Annotation Type JsonPOJOBuilder

-     @Target(value={ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE})
      @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
      public @interface JsonPOJOBuilder

  Annotation used to configure details of a Builder class: instances of which are used as Builders for deserialized POJO values, instead of POJOs being instantiated using constructors or factory methods. Note that this annotation is NOT used to define what is the Builder class for a POJO: rather, this is determined by `JsonDeserialize.builder()` property of `JsonDeserialize`.

  Annotation is typically used if the naming convention of a Builder class is different from defaults:

  - By default, setters are expected to have names like `withName()` (for property "name"); override by `withPrefix()` property.

  In addition to configuration using this annotation, note that many other configuration annotations are also applied to Builders, for example `JsonIgnoreProperties` can be used to ignore "unknown" properties.

    Optional Elements
    Modifier and Type | Optional Element and Description
    --- | ---
    `java.lang.String` | `buildMethodName` Property to use for re-defining which zero-argument method is considered the actual "build-method": method called after all data has been bound, and the actual instance needs to be instantiated.
    `java.lang.String` | `withPrefix` Property used for (re)defining name prefix to use for auto-detecting "with-methods": methods that are similar to "set-methods" (in that they take an argument), but that may also return the new builder instance to use (which may be 'this', or a new modified builder instance).

- - ### Element Detail

    - #### buildMethodName

          public abstract java.lang.String buildMethodName

      Property to use for re-defining which zero-argument method is considered the actual "build-method": method called after all data has been bound, and the actual instance needs to be instantiated.

      Default value is "build".

      Default:
        "build"

    - #### withPrefix

          public abstract java.lang.String withPrefix

      Property used for (re)defining name prefix to use for auto-detecting "with-methods": methods that are similar to "set-methods" (in that they take an argument), but that may also return the new builder instance to use (which may be 'this', or a new modified builder instance). Note that in addition to this prefix, it is also possible to use `JsonProperty` annotation to indicate "with-methods" (as well as `JsonSetter`).

      Default value is "with", so that method named "withValue()" would be used for binding JSON property "value" (using type indicated by the argument; or one defined with annotations.

      Default:
        "with"
