gson - Convert JSON to Java objects and vice-versa
- Description:
Gson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java
Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be
used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object.
Gson can work with arbitrary Java objects including pre-
existing objects that you do not have source-code of.
There are a few open-source projects that can convert Java
objects to JSON. However, most of them require that you
place Java annotations in your classes; something that you
can not do if you do not have access to the source-code.
Most also do not fully support the use of Java Generics.
Gson considers both of these as very important design goals.
Gson Goals
* Provide simple toJson() and fromJson() methods to convert
Java objects to JSON and vice-versa
* Allow pre-existing unmodifiable objects to be converted
to and from JSON
* Extensive support of Java Generics
* Allow custom representations for objects
* Support arbitrarily complex objects (with deep inheritance
hierarchies and extensive use of generic types)
