This file describes the tools/traffic_annotation/summary/annotations.xml. Please see docs/network_traffic_annotations.md for an introduction to network traffic annotations.
annotations.xml includes the summary of all network traffic annotations in Chromium repository. The following items are stored for each annotation :
id: Unique ID of the annotation.hash_code: Hash code of the unique id of the annotation. These values are used in the binary as annotation tags.type: Type of the annotation (complete, partial, ...). Uses enum values of AnnotationInstance in tools/traffic_annotation/auditor/instance.h.content_hash_code: Hash code of the annotation content. This value is stored to check when an annotation is modified.os_list: List of all platforms on which this annotation exists. Currently only including linux and windows.file_path: The file path of the annotation.reserved: Reserverd annotations (like annotation for test files) have this attribute. If annotation is a reserverd one, it does not have content_hash_code and file_path attributes.deprecated: Once an annotation is removed from the repository, this attribute is added to its item with value equal to the deprecation date, and os_list and file_path attributes are removed. These items can be manually or automatically pruned after sufficient time. Unique id of deprecated annotations cannot be reused.Run traffic_annotation_auditor to check for annotations correctness and automatic update. There are also trybots on Linux and Windows to run the tests and suggest required updates. The latest executable of traffic_annotation_auditor for supported platforms can be found in tools/traffic_annotation/bin/[platform].
