/**
 * An annotation that indicates the Gson {@link TypeAdapter} to use with a class
 * or field.
 *
 * 

Here is an example of how this annotation is used:

*
 * @JsonAdapter(UserJsonAdapter.class)
 * public class User {
 *   public final String firstName, lastName;
 *   private User(String firstName, String lastName) {
 *     this.firstName = firstName;
 *     this.lastName = lastName;
 *   }
 * }
 * public class UserJsonAdapter extends TypeAdapter<User> {
 *   @Override public void write(JsonWriter out, User user) throws IOException {
 *     // implement write: combine firstName and lastName into name
 *     out.beginObject();
 *     out.name("name");
 *     out.value(user.firstName + " " + user.lastName);
 *     out.endObject();
 *     // implement the write method
 *   }
 *   @Override public User read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
 *     // implement read: split name into firstName and lastName
 *     in.beginObject();
 *     in.nextName();
 *     String[] nameParts = in.nextString().split(" ");
 *     in.endObject();
 *     return new User(nameParts[0], nameParts[1]);
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* * Since User class specified UserJsonAdapter.class in @JsonAdapter annotation, it * will automatically be invoked to serialize/deserialize User instances. * *

Here is an example of how to apply this annotation to a field. *

 * private static final class Gadget {
 *   @JsonAdapter(UserJsonAdapter2.class)
 *   final User user;
 *   Gadget(User user) {
 *     this.user = user;
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* * It's possible to specify different type adapters on a field, that * field's type, and in the {@link com.google.gson.GsonBuilder}. Field * annotations take precedence over {@code GsonBuilder}-registered type * adapters, which in turn take precedence over annotated types. * *

The class referenced by this annotation must be either a {@link * TypeAdapter} or a {@link TypeAdapterFactory}, or must implement one * or both of {@link JsonDeserializer} or {@link JsonSerializer}. * Using {@link TypeAdapterFactory} makes it possible to delegate * to the enclosing {@link Gson} instance. * *

{@code Gson} instances might cache the adapter they create for * a {@code @JsonAdapter} annotation. It is not guaranteed that a new * adapter is created every time the annotated class or field is serialized * or deserialized. * * @since 2.3 * * @author Inderjeet Singh * @author Joel Leitch * @author Jesse Wilson */ // Note that the above example is taken from AdaptAnnotationTest. @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Target({ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.FIELD}) public @interface JsonAdapter { /** Either a {@link TypeAdapter} or {@link TypeAdapterFactory}, or one or both of {@link JsonDeserializer} or {@link JsonSerializer}. */ Class value(); /** false, to be able to handle {@code null} values within the adapter, default value is true. */ boolean nullSafe() default true; }
