what is the use of @ symbol in impexs (Hybris)?

They are Special Attributes: https://help.sap.com/viewer/d0224eca81e249cb821f2cdf45a82ace/1905/en-US/1c8f5bebdc6e434782ff0cfdb0ca...

Sometimes you need to add data to an item that is not covered by an attribute, for example the media data. In these cases, the syntax of ImpEx provides a special kind of attribute definition called special attributes that do not have a mapping to a real attribute of the configured type.

They are marked with the @ symbol and always need the translator modifier, because there is no default implementation. Furthermore the specified translator has to be a realization of the SpecialValueTranslator interface.

The following code sample shows how to create a media with the data set from the specified file:

INSERT_UPDATE Media;code[unique=true];@media[translator=de.hybris.platform.impex.jalo.media.MediaDataTranslator];myMedia;file://c:/myMedia.txt

The type Media has no media attribute, but specifying the media attribute as a special attribute instructs ImpEx not to search for such an attribute. Instead, it will call the special translator specified with the translator modifier, which performs the import logic.
