AutoValue: Gson Extension
An extension for Google's AutoValue that creates a simple Gson TypeAdapterFactory for each AutoValue annotated object.
Note: This is a very early version that won't work with the released AutoValue until a PR has been merged.
Usage
Simply include AutoGson in your project and add the generated Serializer and Deserializer as a TypeAdapter. You can also annotate your properties using @SerializedName to define an alternate name for de/serialization.
@AutoValue public abstract class Foo {
abstract String bar();
@SerializedName("Baz") abstract String baz();
public static TypeAdapterFactory typeAdapterFactory() {
return AutoValue_Foo.typeAdapterFactory();
}
}
final Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
.registerTypeAdapterFactory(Foo.typeAdapterFactory())
.create();Now build your project and de/serialize your Foo.
TODO
This wouldn't be quite complete without some added features.
- Automatic registration
- Default value support
