/**
* Interface representing a custom deserializer for Json. You should write a custom
* deserializer, if you are not happy with the default deserialization done by Gson. You will
* also need to register this deserializer through
* {@link GsonBuilder#registerTypeAdapter(Type, Object)}.
*
* Let us look at example where defining a deserializer will be useful. The {@code Id} class
* defined below has two fields: {@code clazz} and {@code value}.
*
*
* public class Id<T> {
* private final Class<T> clazz;
* private final long value;
* public Id(Class<T> clazz, long value) {
* this.clazz = clazz;
* this.value = value;
* }
* public long getValue() {
* return value;
* }
* }
*
*
* The default deserialization of {@code Id(com.foo.MyObject.class, 20L)} will require the
* Json string to be {"clazz":com.foo.MyObject,"value":20}. Suppose, you already know
* the type of the field that the {@code Id} will be deserialized into, and hence just want to
* deserialize it from a Json string {@code 20}. You can achieve that by writing a custom
* deserializer:
*
*
* class IdDeserializer implements JsonDeserializer<Id>() {
* public Id deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT, JsonDeserializationContext context)
* throws JsonParseException {
* return new Id((Class)typeOfT, id.getValue());
* }
*
*
* You will also need to register {@code IdDeserializer} with Gson as follows:
*
*
* Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapter(Id.class, new IdDeserializer()).create();
*
*
* New applications should prefer {@link TypeAdapter}, whose streaming API
* is more efficient than this interface's tree API.
*

*
* @param type for which the deserializer is being registered. It is possible that a
* deserializer may be asked to deserialize a specific generic type of the T.
