I'm trying to read moshi's

@Json

property annotation that overrides serialized property names while visiting class properties with

DeclarationDescriptorVisitor

from

declarationChecker{..}

. When

visitPropertyDescriptor

is invoked

descriptor.annotations

is always empty.

@Json

doesn't declare applicable targets (therefore all are allowed): https://square.github.io/moshi/1.x/moshi/moshi/com.squareup.moshi/-json/index.html which means it'll be treated as

@param:Json

in this usage by default: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/annotations.html#annotation-use-site-targets

ahh i see, any way to get a reference to those from PropertyDescriptor?

can you change the code to declare the annotation target explicitly instead?

@property:Json(...) val

hmm i might not have the access to change the class definitions tho
