EnumSelector annotation is meant to be used in conjunction with enumeration attributes.
Values parsed from the input will be matched against one or more properties of the enumeration type. By default, values read from the input will be matched against:
Enum#name() - the name of the elements in the enumeration typeEnum#ordinal() - the ordinal of the elements in the enumeration typeEnum#toString() - the String representation of the elements in the enumeration type customElement() of your enumeration type (an attribute or method), as long as it
uniquely identifies each value of your enumeration type.
Use the selectors() option to choose which properties to match the parsed input against, and in what order. You will only need to
explicitly add a EnumSelector#CUSTOM_FIELD or EnumSelector#CUSTOM_METHOD to the list of selectors() if your customElement() name
could point to both an attribute and a method in your enumeration.
This will assign an EnumConversion to this field.

|---|---|
| public String | Returns: the name of a custom element (attribute or method) of the enumeration which will match the parsed input and identify an enumeration's value.Defines the name of a custom element (attribute or method) of the annotated enumeration. |
| public EnumSelector[] | Returns: the sequence of properties of the enumeration type to match against the parsed input.A list of properties of the enumeration type that will be matched against the parsed input to identify which enum element should be assigned to the annotated field. |

| public String customElement() Defines the name of a custom element (attribute or method) of the annotated enumeration. This will be used to match the parsed input and identify an individual value of the enumeration. The attribute value, or object returned from the method, should uniquely identify a value of the enumeration; You will only need to explicitly add a
