Package	Description
org.springframework.core	Provides basic classes for exception handling and version detection, and other core helpers that are not specific to any part of the framework.

Class	Description
AliasFor	@AliasFor is an annotation that is used to declare aliases for annotation attributes.
AnnotatedElementUtils	General utility methods for finding annotations, meta-annotations, and repeatable annotations on AnnotatedElements.
AnnotationAttributes	LinkedHashMap subclass representing annotation attribute key-value pairs as read by AnnotationUtils, AnnotatedElementUtils, and Spring's reflection- and ASM-based AnnotationMetadata implementations.
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator	AnnotationAwareOrderComparator is an extension of OrderComparator that supports Spring's Ordered interface as well as the @Order and @Priority annotations, with an order value provided by an Ordered instance overriding a statically defined annotation value (if any).
AnnotationConfigurationException	Thrown by AnnotationUtils and synthesized annotations if an annotation is improperly configured.
AnnotationFilter	Callback interface that can be used to filter specific annotation types.
AnnotationUtils	General utility methods for working with annotations, handling meta-annotations, bridge methods (which the compiler generates for generic declarations) as well as super methods (for optional annotation inheritance).
MergedAnnotation<A extends Annotation>	A single merged annotation returned from a MergedAnnotations collection.
MergedAnnotation.Adapt	Adaptations that can be applied to attribute values when creating Maps or AnnotationAttributes.
MergedAnnotationCollectors	Collector implementations that provide various reduction operations for MergedAnnotation instances.
MergedAnnotationPredicates	Predicate implementations that provide various test operations for MergedAnnotations.
MergedAnnotations	Provides access to a collection of merged annotations, usually obtained from a source such as a Class or Method.
MergedAnnotations.Search	Fluent API for configuring the search algorithm used in the MergedAnnotations model and performing a search.
MergedAnnotations.SearchStrategy	Search strategies supported by MergedAnnotations.search(SearchStrategy) as well as MergedAnnotations.from(AnnotatedElement, SearchStrategy) and variants of that method.
MergedAnnotationSelector<A extends Annotation>	Strategy interface used to select between two MergedAnnotation instances.
MergedAnnotationSelectors	MergedAnnotationSelector implementations that provide various options for MergedAnnotation instances.
Order	@Order defines the sort order for an annotated component.
OrderUtils	General utility for determining the order of an object based on its type declaration.
RepeatableContainers	Strategy used to determine annotations that act as containers for other annotations.
SynthesizingMethodParameter	A MethodParameter variant which synthesizes annotations that declare attribute aliases via @AliasFor.
