| Interface | Description | 
|---|---|
| AnnotatedTypeInfo | 
 An interface that provides an abstraction for checking for the existence of annotations. 
 | 
| AnnotationMetadata | 
 An interface implemented at compile time by Micronaut that allows the inspection of annotation metadata and
 stereotypes (meta-annotations) 
 | 
| AnnotationMetadataDelegate | 
 An interface that can be implemented by other classes that delegate the resolution of the  
AnnotationMetadata
 to the AnnotationMetadataProvider.getAnnotationMetadata() method. | 
| AnnotationMetadataProvider | 
 An interface for a type that provides  
AnnotationMetadata. | 
| AnnotationMetadataResolver | 
 An interface for types capable of resolving  
AnnotationMetadata. | 
| AnnotationSource | 
 A source of annotations. 
 | 
| Class | Description | 
|---|---|
| AnnotationClassValue<T> | 
 An annotation class value is a reference to a class in annotation metadata. 
 | 
| AnnotationUtil | 
 Internal utility methods for annotations. 
 | 
| AnnotationValue<A extends Annotation> | 
 A runtime representation of the an annotation and its values. 
 | 
| AnnotationValueBuilder<T extends Annotation> | 
 A build for annotation values. 
 | 
| Annotation Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| Blocking | 
 A marker annotation for methods that are blocking. 
 | 
| Experimental | 
 Annotates a class or method as being experimental and subject to change or removal. 
 | 
| Internal | 
 Annotates a class or method regarded as internal and not for public consumption. 
 | 
| NonBlocking | 
 A marker annotation for methods that are blocking. 
 | 
| TypeHint | 
 The type hint annotation is a general annotation that can be used on interfaces to provide
 additional information about types used at runtime. 
 | 
| UsedByGeneratedCode | 
 A marker annotation indicating that a method is used by generated code and should
 not be modified or removed otherwise a binary compatibility problem will be introduced.
