What's the difference between @Component, @Repository & @Service annotations in Spring?

Can @thing, @repository, and @carrier annotations be used interchangeably in spring or do they provide any particular capability except performing as a notation device?

In other words, if I have got a service class and that I trade the annotation from @carrier to @aspect, will it nonetheless behave the identical way?

Or does the annotation additionally impact the conduct and functionality of the elegance?
