remove (alias) "Json" from annotations #189

Closed xenoterracide closed 3 years ago

xenoterracide commented 3 years ago

jackson supports more than just json for serialization, XML and YAML come to mind. I'm currently working on something that only supports yaml (right now), it seems silly that the annotation's say @Json. It seems like being able to write @Creator would be better than @JsonCreator. I don't really mean getting rid of the existing ones though. Perhaps using "composed" annotations would be a better route, so that @JsonCreator would effectively become an alias for @Creator and both would work, also allowing people to compose their own.
