A common annotation to declare that annotated elements can benull
under some circumstance. Leverages JSR 305 meta-annotations to indicate nullability in Java to common tools with JSR 305 support and used by Kotlin to infer nullability of the API.Should be used at parameter, return value, and field level. Methods override should repeat parent
@Nullable
annotations unless they behave differently.Can be used in association with
NonNullApi
or@NonNullFields
to override the default non-nullable semantic to nullable.- See Also:
