Annotation Type Base16

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value={FIELD,PARAMETER})
public @interface Base16

Annotation for fields or parameters to indicate that the annotated long value represents a string of 0 to 16 characters encoded in Base16.

This allows for consistent, self-descriptive annotations in fields or parameters, guiding developers and API users about the intended format of the long value.

The Base16 format is often used for representing binary data in an ASCII string format, and this annotation helps in ensuring that the long value adheres to this representation.
