Question
When should a Java developer choose Annotations deliberately?
- Choose Annotations mainly when you want to postpone validation and fix problems manually later.
- Choose Annotations whenever you want the code to look more advanced, even if the design gets less clear.
- Use annotations to express stable declarative metadata that frameworks or infrastructure layers can process.
- Choose Annotations only to avoid modeling domain rules explicitly in Java code.
Hint
Think about the production scenario where the choice genuinely improves the code.
Answer and rationale
Correct answer: C. Use annotations to express stable declarative metadata that frameworks or infrastructure layers can process.
Use annotations to express stable declarative metadata that frameworks or infrastructure layers can process. Interviewers often ask this to see whether you can connect the concept to real design decisions.
