/**
* JsonTypeAdapter allows to customize JSON serialization
* of your {@link ValueType} or {@link CustomType} in a {@link JaversRepository}.
*
*
* Implementation shouldn't take care about nulls (nulls are handled by Gson engine).
* For a concrete adapter implementation example see {@link org.javers.java8support.LocalDateTimeTypeAdapter}.
*
*
* Convenient template classes are available, see {@link BasicStringTypeAdapter}
*
*
* Usage with Vanilla Javers
*
* Javers javers = JaversBuilder.javers()
* .registerValueTypeAdapter(new MyTypeAdapter())
* .build();
*
*
* Usage with Javers Spring Boot starters
*
* Simply register your JSON type adapters as Spring beans.
*
*
* @param user type, mapped to {@link ValueType} or {@link CustomType}

* @see JsonAdvancedTypeAdapter
