/**
 * An annotation that indicates the version number until a member or a type should be present.
 * Basically, if Gson is created with a version number that is equal to or exceeds the value
 * stored in the {@code Until} annotation then the field will be ignored from the JSON output.
 * This annotation is useful to manage versioning of your JSON classes for a web-service.
 *
 * 

* This annotation has no effect unless you build {@link com.google.gson.Gson} with a * {@code GsonBuilder} and invoke the {@link GsonBuilder#setVersion(double)} method. * *

Here is an example of how this annotation is meant to be used:

*
 * public class User {
 *   private String firstName;
 *   private String lastName;
 *   @Until(1.1) private String emailAddress;
 *   @Until(1.1) private String password;
 * }
 * 
* *

If you created Gson with {@code new Gson()}, the {@code toJson()} and {@code fromJson()} * methods will use all the fields for serialization and deserialization. However, if you created * Gson with {@code Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setVersion(1.2).create()} then the * {@code toJson()} and {@code fromJson()} methods of Gson will exclude the {@code emailAddress} * and {@code password} fields from the example above, because the version number passed to the * GsonBuilder, {@code 1.2}, exceeds the version number set on the {@code Until} annotation, * {@code 1.1}, for those fields. * * @author Inderjeet Singh * @author Joel Leitch * @see GsonBuilder#setVersion(double) * @see Since * @since 1.3 */ @Documented @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Target({ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.TYPE}) public @interface Until { /** * The value indicating a version number until this member or type should be be included. * The number is exclusive; annotated elements will be included if {@code gsonVersion < value}. */ double value(); }
