@SerialInfo
@Target(allowedTargets = [AnnotationTarget.PROPERTY])
@ExperimentalSerializationApi

Specifies that a ByteArray shall be encoded/decoded as CBOR major type 2: a byte string. For types other than ByteArray, ByteString will have no effect.

Example usage:

@Serializable
data class Data(

    val a: ByteArray, // CBOR major type 2: a byte string.

    val b: ByteArray  // CBOR major type 4: an array of data items.
)
