|
|
<P>
|
|
An annotation that indicates this member should be exposed for JSON
|
|
serialization or deserialization.
|
|
|
|
<p>This annotation has no effect unless you build <A HREF="../../../../com/google/gson/Gson.html" title="class in com.google.gson"><CODE>Gson</CODE></A>
|
|
with a <A HREF="../../../../com/google/gson/GsonBuilder.html" title="class in com.google.gson"><CODE>GsonBuilder</CODE></A> and invoke
|
|
<A HREF="../../../../com/google/gson/GsonBuilder.html#excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation()"><CODE>GsonBuilder.excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation()</CODE></A>
|
|
method.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here is an example of how this annotation is meant to be used:
|
|
<p><pre>
|
|
public class User {
|
|
@Expose private String firstName;
|
|
@Expose private String lastName;
|
|
@Expose private String emailAddress;
|
|
private String password;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre></p>
|
|
If you created Gson with <code>new Gson()</code>, the <code>toJson()</code> and <code>fromJson()</code>
|
|
methods will use the <code>password</code> field along-with <code>firstName</code>, <code>lastName</code>,
|
|
and <code>emailAddress</code> for serialization and deserialization. However, if you created Gson
|
|
with <code>Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation().create()</code>
|
|
then the <code>toJson()</code> and <code>fromJson()</code> methods of Gson will exclude the
|
|
<code>password</code> field. This is because the <code>password</code> field is not marked with the
|
|
<code>@Expose</code> annotation.
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that another way to achieve the same effect would have been to just mark the
|
|
<code>password</code> field as <code>transient</code>, and Gson would have excluded it even with default
|
|
settings. The <code>@Expose</code> annotation is useful in a style of programming where you want to
|
|
explicitly specify all fields that should get considered for serialization or deserialization.
|
|
