Sample Description

How to use this sample?

How it works

This sample is based on getAnnotationAsJSON() and getAnnotationAsXML() methods. When button is pressed one of the methods is invoked which gets config by the given id. If you edit or delete an annotation you can see this in config. Learn more about working with annotations in Working with annotations article.
