Annotation Type GraphQLScalar

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({FIELD,METHOD})
public @interface GraphQLScalar
This annotation marks all fields in the generated classes, that are standard GraphQL scalar. The javaClass() contains the type for this Scalar. This is useful only when this field is actually a list, as java has the type erasure shit, and on Runtime, you can use java reflection to check the objects allowed in the list.
