This * is necessary when a field's type is not the same type that GSON should create * when deserializing that field. For example, consider these types: *
   {@code
 *   abstract class Shape {
 *     int x;
 *     int y;
 *   }
 *   class Circle extends Shape {
 *     int radius;
 *   }
 *   class Rectangle extends Shape {
 *     int width;
 *     int height;
 *   }
 *   class Diamond extends Shape {
 *     int width;
 *     int height;
 *   }
 *   class Drawing {
 *     Shape bottomShape;
 *     Shape topShape;
 *   }
 * }
*

Without additional type information, the serialized JSON is ambiguous. Is * the bottom shape in this drawing a rectangle or a diamond?

   {@code
 *   {
 *     "bottomShape": {
 *       "width": 10,
 *       "height": 5,
 *       "x": 0,
 *       "y": 0
 *     },
 *     "topShape": {
 *       "radius": 2,
 *       "x": 4,
 *       "y": 1
 *     }
 *   }}
* This class addresses this problem by adding type information to the * serialized JSON and honoring that type information when the JSON is * deserialized:
   {@code
 *   {
 *     "bottomShape": {
 *       "type": "Diamond",
 *       "width": 10,
 *       "height": 5,
 *       "x": 0,
 *       "y": 0
 *     },
 *     "topShape": {
 *       "type": "Circle",
 *       "radius": 2,
 *       "x": 4,
 *       "y": 1
 *     }
 *   }}
* Both the type field name ({@code "type"}) and the type labels ({@code * "Rectangle"}) are configurable. * *

Registering Types

* Create a {@code RuntimeTypeAdapter} by passing the base type and type field * name to the {@link #create} factory method. If you don't supply an explicit * type field name, {@code "type"} will be used.
   {@code
 *   RuntimeTypeAdapter shapeAdapter
 *       = RuntimeTypeAdapter.create(Shape.class, "type");
 * }
* Next register all of your subtypes. Every subtype must be explicitly * registered. This protects your application from injection attacks. If you * don't supply an explicit type label, the type's simple name will be used. *
   {@code
 *   shapeAdapter.registerSubtype(Rectangle.class, "Rectangle");
 *   shapeAdapter.registerSubtype(Circle.class, "Circle");
 *   shapeAdapter.registerSubtype(Diamond.class, "Diamond");
 * }
* Finally, register the type adapter in your application's GSON builder: *
   {@code
 *   Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
 *       .registerTypeAdapter(Shape.class, shapeAdapter)
 *       .create();
 * }
* Like {@code GsonBuilder}, this API supports chaining:
   {@code
 *   RuntimeTypeAdapter shapeAdapter = RuntimeTypeAdapter.create(Shape.class)
 *       .registerSubtype(Rectangle.class)
 *       .registerSubtype(Circle.class)
 *       .registerSubtype(Diamond.class);
 * }
