Annotation Type DataLoader

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={METHOD,TYPE})
public @interface DataLoader

A method or class level annotation providing users with the ability to specify a data Loader strategy for their test class. EasyTest supports CSV, EXCEL and XML based data loading. But it may not be sufficient in all the cases. Also EasyTest's Data Loading Strategy may not suit every user. In such a case, a user can write his own Custom Loader and pass it to the Data Loader annotation to supply your own custom Loader.
For eg. this is how you can use it :
@Test @DataLoader(loader=MyCustomDataLoader.class)
public void testGetItems(........

OR

@Test @DataLoader(filePaths={testData.json} , loader=MyCustomDataLoader.class)
public void testGetItems(........

OR
@Test @DataLoader(filePaths={testData.csv})
public void testGetItems(........

OR
@Test @DataLoader(filePaths={testDataExcel.xls})
public void testGetItems(........

Note that the custom Loader must implement the Loader interface and should have a no arg constructor.
