AnnotationInfo

```
public interface AnnotationInfo
```
An annotation instance, typically obtained from an AnnotationTarget. Provides access to annotation members and their values.
Implementations of this interface are required to define the equals and hashCode methods. Implementations of this interface are encouraged to define the toString method such that it returns a text resembling the corresponding Java™ syntax.
There is no guarantee that any particular annotation instance, represented by an implementation of this interface, will always be represented by the same object. That includes natural singletons such as the jakarta.inject.Singleton annotation. Instances should always be compared using equals.

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`ClassInfo`	`declaration()` Returns the declaration of this annotation's type.
`boolean`	`hasMember(java.lang.String name)` Returns whether this annotation has a member with given `name`.
`default boolean`	`hasValue()` Returns whether this annotation has the `value` member.
`default boolean`	`isRepeatable()` Returns whether this annotation is repeatable.
`AnnotationMember`	`member(java.lang.String name)` Returns the value of this annotation's member with given `name`.
`java.util.Map<java.lang.String,AnnotationMember>`	`members()` Returns all members of this annotation as a map, where the key is the member name and the value is the member value.
`default java.lang.String`	`name()` Binary name of this annotation's type, as defined by The Java™ Language Specification; in other words, the annotation type name as returned by `Class.getName()`.
`default AnnotationMember`	`value()` Returns the value of this annotation's `value` member.

  - declaration
```
ClassInfo declaration()
```
    Returns the declaration of this annotation's type.
    
    Returns:
    
    the declaration of this annotation's type, never null
  - name
```
default java.lang.String name()
```
    Binary name of this annotation's type, as defined by The Java™ Language Specification; in other words, the annotation type name as returned by Class.getName(). Equivalent to declaration().name().
    
    Returns:
    
    binary name of this annotation's type, never null
  - isRepeatable
```
default boolean isRepeatable()
```
    Returns whether this annotation is repeatable. In other words, returns whether this annotation's type is meta-annotated @Repeatable.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether this annotation is repeatable
  - hasMember
```
boolean hasMember(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns whether this annotation has a member with given name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - member name, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this annotation has a member with given name, false otherwise
  - member
```
AnnotationMember member(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the value of this annotation's member with given name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - member name, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    value of this annotation's member with given name or null if such member does not exist
  - hasValue
```
default boolean hasValue()
```
    Returns whether this annotation has the value member.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this annotation has the value member, false otherwise
  - value
```
default AnnotationMember value()
```
    Returns the value of this annotation's value member.
    
    Returns:
    
    value of this annotation's value member or null if the member does not exist
  - members
```
java.util.Map<java.lang.String,AnnotationMember> members()
```
    Returns all members of this annotation as a map, where the key is the member name and the value is the member value. Returns an empty map if this annotation has no members.
    
    Returns:
    
    an immutable map of all members of this annotation, never null
