The <code>@FieldNameConstants</code> annotation generates an inner type which contains 1 constant for each field in your class; either string constants (fields marked <code>public static final</code>, of type <code>java.lang.String</code>) or if you prefer, an enum type with 1 value for each field. <code>@FieldNameConstants</code> is useful for various marshalling and serialization frameworks. The constant field (whether enum value or string constant) always has the exact same name as the field, capitalization and all.
The <code>@FieldNameConstants</code> annotation generates an inner type which contains 1 constant for each field in your class; either string constants (fields marked <code>public static final</code>, of type <code>java.lang.String</code>) or if you prefer, an enum type with 1 value for each field - write <code>@FieldNameConstants(asEnum = true)</code> for the enum variant. <code>@FieldNameConstants</code> is useful for various marshalling and serialization frameworks. The constant field (whether enum value or string constant) always has the exact same name as the field, capitalization and all.

The generated inner type is by default called <code>Fields</code> and is <code>public</code>. You can modify this via <code>@FieldNameConstants(innerTypeName = "FieldNames", access = AccessLevel.PACKAGE)</code> for example. The default inner type name can also be modified via configuration key <code>lombok.fieldNameConstants.innerTypeName</code>. The generated fields are always <code>public</code>.
