'test' ]] 3) C# uses similar syntax with square brackets for annotations: public class Foo { [Display(Name="Product Number")] [Range(0, 5000)] public int ProductID { get; set; } } However, I would like to see simple markers without nested associative arrays, e.g just put single AnnotationName::class into brackets or specify multiple annotations in one section: [Entity::class, Table::class => 'foo_table'] class Foo { // ... }
