Annotation Type ToString

@Target(value=METHOD)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface ToString

Annotation used to mark a method as being suitable for converting an object to a standard format String.

This annotation should be applied to one method on a class. The method must not be static. It must take no parameters and return a String. The string format must be able to be parsed by the matching @FromString on the same class. The format should be human readable and an industry standard where possible, for example ISO-8601 for dates and times.
