    - #### writeAnnotation

          boolean writeAnnotation(java.lang.Object target,

      Write contents of the annotation to the specified object. If the specified `target` is a DOM object, in-scope namespace declarations for `annotation` element are added as attribute nodes of the serialized `annotation`, otherwise the corresponding events for all in-scope namespace declarations are sent via the specified document handler.
      Parameters:
        `target` - A target pointer to the annotation target object, i.e. `org.w3c.dom.Document`, `org.w3c.dom.Element` , `org.xml.sax.ContentHandler`.
        `targetType` - A target type.
      Returns:
        True if the `target` is a recognized type and supported by this implementation, otherwise false.

    - #### getAnnotationString

          java.lang.String getAnnotationString()

      A text representation of the annotation.
