/**
|
* A strategy (or policy) definition that is used to decide whether or not a
|
* field or top-level class should be serialized or deserialized as part of the
|
* JSON output/input. For serialization, if the {@link #shouldSkipClass(Class)}
|
* method returns true then that class or field type will not be part of the
|
* JSON output. For deserialization, if {@link #shouldSkipClass(Class)} returns
|
* true, then it will not be set as part of the Java object structure.
|
*
|
* <p>
|
* The following are a few examples that shows how you can use this exclusion
|
* mechanism.
|
*
|
* <p>
|
* <strong>Exclude fields and objects based on a particular class type:</strong>
|
*
|
* <pre class="code">
|
* private static class SpecificClassExclusionStrategy implements ExclusionStrategy {
|
* private final Class<?> excludedThisClass;
|
*
|
* public SpecificClassExclusionStrategy(Class<?> excludedThisClass) {
|
* this.excludedThisClass = excludedThisClass;
|
* }
|
*
|
* public boolean shouldSkipClass(Class<?> clazz) {
|
* return excludedThisClass.equals(clazz);
|
* }
|
*
|
* public boolean shouldSkipField(FieldAttributes f) {
|
* return excludedThisClass.equals(f.getDeclaredClass());
|
* }
|
* }
|
* </pre>
|
*
|
* <p>
|
* <strong>Excludes fields and objects based on a particular
|
* annotation:</strong>
|
*
|
* <pre class="code">
|
* public @interface FooAnnotation {
|
* // some implementation here
|
* }
|
*
|
* // Excludes any field (or class) that is tagged with an "@FooAnnotation"
|
* private static class FooAnnotationExclusionStrategy implements ExclusionStrategy {
|
* public boolean shouldSkipClass(Class<?> clazz) {
|
* return clazz.getAnnotation(FooAnnotation.class) != null;
|
* }
|
*
|
* public boolean shouldSkipField(FieldAttributes f) {
|
* return f.getAnnotation(FooAnnotation.class) != null;
|
* }
|
* }
|
* </pre>
|
*
|
* <p>
|
* Now if you want to configure {@code Gson} to use a user defined exclusion
|
* strategy, then the {@code GsonBuilder} is required. The following is an
|
* example of how you can use the {@code GsonBuilder} to configure Gson to use
|
* one of the above sample:
|
*
|
* <pre class="code">
|
* ExclusionStrategy excludeStrings = new UserDefinedExclusionStrategy(String.class);
|
* Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setExclusionStrategies(excludeStrings).create();
|
* </pre>
|
*
|
* <p>
|
* For certain model classes, you may only want to serialize a field, but
|
* exclude it for deserialization. To do that, you can write an
|
* {@code ExclusionStrategy} as per normal; however, you would register it with
|
* the
|
* {@link GsonBuilder#addDeserializationExclusionStrategy(ExclusionStrategy)}
|
* method. For example:
|
*
|
* <pre class="code">
|
* ExclusionStrategy excludeStrings = new UserDefinedExclusionStrategy(String.class);
|
* Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().addDeserializationExclusionStrategy(excludeStrings).create();
|
* </pre>
