The default JSON output that is provide by Gson is a compact JSON format. This means that there will not be any whitespace in the output JSON structure. Therefore, there will be no whitespace between field names and its value, object fields, and objects within arrays in the JSON output. As well, "null" fields will be ignored in the output (NOTE: null values will still be included in collections/arrays of objects). See the [Null Object Support](#TOC-Null-Object-Support) section for information on configure Gson to output all null values.

If you like to use the Pretty Print feature, you must configure your `Gson` instance using the `GsonBuilder`. The `JsonFormatter` is not exposed through our public API, so the client is unable to configure the default print settings/margins for the JSON output. For now, we only provide a default `JsonPrintFormatter` that has default line length of 80 character, 2 character indentation, and 4 character right margin.

The default behaviour that is implemented in Gson is that `null` object fields are ignored. This allows for a more compact output format; however, the client must define a default value for these fields as the JSON format is converted back into its Java.

If none of the below mechanism satisfy your needs then you can always use [custom serializers and deserializers](#TOC-Custom-Serialization-and-Deserializ).
