why using @JSON annotation only with few keys?

why using @JSON annotation only with few keys?

well kotlin properties names must match with the property(or name of key in json). this can lead to unwanted or against coding style, like we use "camelCase" for properties in kotlin and here some json keys that has names like "open_issues" (contains underscore), so we have to give our property a name as the name of key in json. To avoid doing so we use @JSON annotation to use desired name for our properties

its is similar to serializable naming in data model for retrofit with latest some extra features i think
