@Json Annotation

<p>
	The {@link oaj.json.annotation.Json @Json} annotation
	is used to override the behavior of {@link oaj.json.JsonSerializer} on individual bean classes or properties.
</p>
<p>
	The annotation can be applied to beans as well as other objects serialized to other types (e.g. strings).
</p>
<ul class='javatree'>
	<li class='ja'>{@link oaj.json.annotation.Json}
	<ul>
		<li class='jf'>{@link oaj.json.annotation.Json#wrapperAttr() wrapperAttr}
	</ul>
</ul>		
<p>
	The {@link oaj.json.annotation.Json#wrapperAttr() @Json(wrapperAttr)} annotation
	can be used to wrap beans inside a JSON object with a specified attribute name.
</p>		
<h5 class='figure'>Example:</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<ja>@Json</ja>(wrapperAttr=<js>"personBean"</js>)
	<jk>public class</jk> Person {
		<jk>public</jk> String <jf>name</jf> = <js>"John Smith"</js>;
	}
</p>
<p>
	The following shows the JSON representation with and without the annotation present:
</p>
<table class='styled w800'>
	<tr>
		<th>Without annotation</th>
		<th>With annotation</th>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class='code'>
	{
		<jok>name</jok>: <jov>'John Smith'</jov>
	}
		</td>
		<td class='code'>
	{
		<jok>personBean</jok>: {
			<jok>name</jok>: <jov>'John Smith'</jov>
		}
	}
		</td>
	</tr>
