/**
* An annotation that marks a {@code boolean} or {@code Boolean} attribute
* of a modeled class which should be serialized as a DynamoDB BOOL. For
* backwards compatibility with old versions of the {@code DynamoDBMapper},
* by default booleans are serialized using the DynamoDB N type, with a value
* of '1' representing 'true' and a value of '0' representing 'false'.
* <p/>
* Using this annotation on the field definition or getter method definition
* for the attribute will cause it to be serialized as DynamoDB-native BOOL
* type. Old versions of the {@code DynamoDBMapper} which do not know about the
* BOOL type will be unable to read items containing BOOLs, so don't use me
* unless all readers of your table are using an updated version of the mapper.
*
* @deprecated - Replaced by {@link DynamoDBTyped}
