/**
 * Use this builder to construct a {@link Gson} instance when you need to set configuration options
 * other than the default. For {@link Gson} with default configuration, it is simpler to use {@code
 * new Gson()}. {@code GsonBuilder} is best used by creating it, and then invoking its various
 * configuration methods, and finally calling create.
 *
 * <p>The following example shows how to use the {@code GsonBuilder} to construct a Gson instance:
 *
 * <pre>
 * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
 *     .registerTypeAdapter(Id.class, new IdTypeAdapter())
 *     .enableComplexMapKeySerialization()
 *     .serializeNulls()
 *     .setDateFormat(DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.LONG)
 *     .setFieldNamingPolicy(FieldNamingPolicy.UPPER_CAMEL_CASE)
 *     .setPrettyPrinting()
 *     .setVersion(1.0)
 *     .create();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Notes:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>The order of invocation of configuration methods does not matter.
 *   <li>The default serialization of {@link Date} and its subclasses in Gson does not contain
 *       time-zone information. So, if you are using date/time instances, use {@code GsonBuilder}
 *       and its {@code setDateFormat} methods.
 *   <li>By default no explicit {@link Strictness} is set; some of the {@link Gson} methods behave
 *       as if {@link Strictness#LEGACY_STRICT} was used whereas others behave as if {@link
 *       Strictness#LENIENT} was used. Prefer explicitly setting a strictness with {@link
 *       #setStrictness(Strictness)} to avoid this legacy behavior.
 * </ul>

   * following cases apply:
   *
   * <p><b>Maps as JSON objects</b>
   *
   * <p>For this case, assume that a type adapter is registered to serialize and deserialize some
   * {@code Point} class, which contains an x and y coordinate, to/from the JSON Primitive string
   * value {@code "(x,y)"}. The Java map would then be serialized as a {@link JsonObject}.
   *
   * <p>Below is an example:
   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
   *     .register(Point.class, new MyPointTypeAdapter())
   *     .enableComplexMapKeySerialization()
   *     .create();

   * original.put(new Point(8, 8), "b");
   * System.out.println(gson.toJson(original, type));
   * }</pre>
   *
   * The above code prints this JSON object:
   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * {
   *   "(5,6)": "a",
   *   "(8,8)": "b"
   * }
   * }</pre>
   *
   * <p><b>Maps as JSON arrays</b>
   *
   * <p>For this case, assume that a type adapter was NOT registered for some {@code Point} class,
   * but rather the default Gson serialization is applied. In this case, some {@code new Point(2,3)}
   * would serialize as {@code {"x":2,"y":3}}.
   *
   * <p>Given the assumption above, a {@code Map<Point, String>} will be serialized as an array of
   * arrays (can be viewed as an entry set of pairs).
   *
   * <p>Below is an example of serializing complex types as JSON arrays:
   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
   *     .enableComplexMapKeySerialization()
   *     .create();
   *
   * Map<Point, String> original = new LinkedHashMap<>();
   * original.put(new Point(5, 6), "a");
   * original.put(new Point(8, 8), "b");
   * System.out.println(gson.toJson(original, type));
   * }</pre>
   *
   * The JSON output would look as follows:
   *
   * <pre>{@code
   * [
   *   [
   *     {
   *       "x": 5,
