    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.
