Class Deprecation

java.lang.Object

io.microsphere.lang.Deprecation

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class Deprecation
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

A serializable class that provides detailed information about deprecation.

This class is used to indicate that a specific API or component is deprecated, and optionally provides details such as:

• The version since when it became deprecated
• A suggested replacement (if available)
• The reason for deprecation
• A link to further documentation or migration guide
• The deprecation level, e.g., whether it's marked for removal

Example Usage

 // Create a simple deprecation notice with the version string
 Deprecation deprecation = Deprecation.of("1.2.0");

 // Create a deprecation notice with replacement and reason
 Deprecation deprecation = Deprecation.of("1.5.0", "NewClass", "Use NewClass instead for better performance");

 // Create a full deprecation notice with all fields
 Deprecation deprecation = Deprecation.of("2.0.0", "NewApi", "OldApi is inefficient", "https://example.com/docs/migration", Deprecation.Level.REMOVAL);

 // Using the Builder API for more flexibility
 Deprecation deprecation = Deprecation.builder()
     .since("2.1.0")
     .replacement("ImprovedUtil")
     .reason("LegacyUtil has known issues and will be removed in future versions.")
     .link("https://docs.example.com/legacyutil-removal")
     .level(Deprecation.Level.REMOVAL)
     .build();
