* Add support for reflection access filter
* Improve documentation
* Fix compilation errors
* Relax handling for BLOCK_ALL when invoking default constructor
* Improve handling for inherited fields
* Fix accessible test failing for static fields
* Simplify ReflectiveTypeAdapterFactory field writing
* Fix GsonBuilder changes affecting created Gson instances
* Improve documentation
* Improve handling for IllegalAccessException
For Java < 9, AccessibleObject.canAccess is not available and therefore checks
might pass even if object is not accessible, causing IllegalAccessException
later.
* Fix incorrect GsonBuilder.addReflectionAccessFilter documentation
* Remove UnsafeReflectionAccessor
Revert #1218
Usage of sun.misc.Unsafe to change internal AccessibleObject.override field
to suppress JPMS warnings goes against the intentions of the JPMS and does not
work anymore in newer versions, see #1540.
Therefore remove it and instead create a descriptive exception when making a
member accessible fails. If necessary users can also still use `java` command
line flags to open external modules.
* Fix failing to serialize Collection or Map with inaccessible constructor
Also remove tests which rely on Java implementation details.
* Don't keep reference to access exception of ConstructorConstructor
This also avoids a confusing stack trace, since the previously caught
exception might have had a complete unrelated stack trace.
* Remove Maven toolchain requirement
* Address review feedback
* Add back test for Security Manager
One of our favorite users (my employer!) is stuck in a sad situation where they need to serialize objects returned from Gson; this is a workable escape hatch.
This drops support for type hierarchy instance creators. I don't expect this to be a problem. We'll also detect fewer errors where multiple type adapters can serialize the same type. With APIs like getNextTypeAdapter, I think this might actually be an improvement!
The motivation for this change is to give tree-style adapters precedence order in registration. This fixes the test I committed earlier today, where registration order was not honored.
This renamed ParameterizedTypeHandlerMap to the shorter 'TypeMap'. For type adapters, this is now only used for type hierarchy. We still need non-hierarchy support in TypeMap for instance creators; I'll be looking for workarounds to see if further simplification is possible here.
Consolidated all of the different code paths that we use to construct instances. We now have an ObjectConstructor class that knows what type it constructs; this means that we don't need to ever do reflection to lookup a constructor at construction time.
Cleaned up some buggy type adapters, particularly around handling of null.
Removed dead code for object graph navigation.
Moved some classes into 'internal' so they are visible to the 'bind' subpackage.
Turned some TypeAdapterFactory/TypeAdapter pairs inside out so that the TypeAdapter is now the inner class. This is necessary so that the factories can take parameters.
Added an API to request the 'next' type adapter for a type. This allows type adapters to compose other type adapters. We're using this in two places:
- where the user has excluded a type from serialization but not deserialization, we need to use the "default" deserialization but interpose null on serialization. We create a type adapter that delegates for one and returns null for the other.
- similarly when a DOM type serializer is registered but no deserializer, or vice versa.
This is the biggest change to the MiniGson core.
For backwards compatibility, return null for the empty string.
Simplify JsonSerializationContext/JsonDeserializationContext to simply call through to GSON. SerializeDefault is currently unsupported.
More useful error messages when calling getAsBoolean on a JsonNull.
Remove currently unused MemoryRefStack. We might need this back again, though wiring it back in will be much more difficult because we don't interject ourselves between the users' various type adapters.
