Method Detail

• serialize

  JsonElement serialize(Object src)

  Invokes default serialization on the specified object.

  Parameters:

  src - the object that needs to be serialized.

  Returns:

  a tree of JsonElements corresponding to the serialized form of src.

• serialize

  JsonElement serialize(Object src,
                      Type typeOfSrc)

  Invokes default serialization on the specified object passing the specific type information. It should never be invoked on the element received as a parameter of the JsonSerializer.serialize(Object, Type, JsonSerializationContext) method. Doing so will result in an infinite loop since Gson will in-turn call the custom serializer again.

  Parameters:

  src - the object that needs to be serialized.

  typeOfSrc - the actual genericized type of src object.

  Returns:

  a tree of JsonElements corresponding to the serialized form of src.
