/**
|
|
* Creates type adapters for set of related types. Type adapter factories are most useful when
|
|
* several types share similar structure in their JSON form.
|
|
*
|
|
* <h2>Examples</h2>
|
|
*
|
|
* <h3>Example: Converting enums to lowercase</h3>
|
|
*
|
|
* In this example, we implement a factory that creates type adapters for all enums. The type
|
|
* adapters will write enums in lowercase, despite the fact that they're defined in {@code
|
|
* CONSTANT_CASE} in the corresponding Java model:
|
|
*
|
|
* <pre>{@code
|
|
* public class LowercaseEnumTypeAdapterFactory implements TypeAdapterFactory {
|
|
* public <T> TypeAdapter<T> create(Gson gson, TypeToken<T> type) {
|
|
* Class<T> rawType = (Class<T>) type.getRawType();
|
|
* if (!rawType.isEnum()) {
|
|
* return null;
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* final Map<String, T> lowercaseToConstant = new HashMap<>();
|
|
* for (T constant : rawType.getEnumConstants()) {
|
|
* lowercaseToConstant.put(toLowercase(constant), constant);
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* return new TypeAdapter<T>() {
|
|
* public void write(JsonWriter out, T value) throws IOException {
|
|
* if (value == null) {
|
|
* out.nullValue();
|
|
* } else {
|
|
* out.value(toLowercase(value));
|
|
* }
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* public T read(JsonReader reader) throws IOException {
|
|
* if (reader.peek() == JsonToken.NULL) {
|
|
* reader.nextNull();
|
|
* return null;
|
|
* } else {
|
|
* return lowercaseToConstant.get(reader.nextString());
|
|
* }
|
|
* }
|
|
* };
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* private String toLowercase(Object o) {
|
|
* return o.toString().toLowerCase(Locale.US);
|
|
* }
|
|
* }
|
|
* }</pre>
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>Type adapter factories select which types they provide type adapters for. If a factory cannot
|
|
* support a given type, it must return null when that type is passed to {@link #create}. Factories
|
|
* should expect {@code create()} to be called on them for many types and should return null for
|
|
* most of those types. In the above example the factory returns null for calls to {@code create()}
|
|
* where {@code type} is not an enum.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>A factory is typically called once per type, but the returned type adapter may be used many
|
|
* times. It is most efficient to do expensive work like reflection in {@code create()} so that the
|
|
* type adapter's {@code read()} and {@code write()} methods can be very fast. In this example the
|
|
* mapping from lowercase name to enum value is computed eagerly.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>As with type adapters, factories must be <i>registered</i> with a {@link
|
|
* com.google.gson.GsonBuilder} for them to take effect:
|
|
*
|
|
* <pre>{@code
|
|
* GsonBuilder builder = new GsonBuilder();
|
|
* builder.registerTypeAdapterFactory(new LowercaseEnumTypeAdapterFactory());
|
|
* ...
|
|
* Gson gson = builder.create();
|
|
* }</pre>
|
|
*
|
|
* If multiple factories support the same type, the factory registered earlier takes precedence.
|
|
*
|
|
* <h3>Example: Composing other type adapters</h3>
|
|
*
|
|
* In this example we implement a factory for Guava's {@code Multiset} collection type. The factory
|
|
* can be used to create type adapters for multisets of any element type: the type adapter for
|
|
* {@code Multiset<String>} is different from the type adapter for {@code Multiset<URL>}.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>The type adapter <i>delegates</i> to another type adapter for the multiset elements. It
|
|
* figures out the element type by reflecting on the multiset's type token. A {@code Gson} is passed
|
|
* in to {@code create} for just this purpose:
|
|
*
|
|
* <pre>{@code
|
|
* public class MultisetTypeAdapterFactory implements TypeAdapterFactory {
|
|
* public <T> TypeAdapter<T> create(Gson gson, TypeToken<T> typeToken) {
|
|
* Type type = typeToken.getType();
|
|
* if (typeToken.getRawType() != Multiset.class
|
|
* || !(type instanceof ParameterizedType)) {
|
|
* return null;
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* Type elementType = ((ParameterizedType) type).getActualTypeArguments()[0];
|
|
* TypeAdapter<?> elementAdapter = gson.getAdapter(TypeToken.get(elementType));
|
|
* return (TypeAdapter<T>) newMultisetAdapter(elementAdapter);
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* private <E> TypeAdapter<Multiset<E>> newMultisetAdapter(
|
|
* final TypeAdapter<E> elementAdapter) {
|
|
* return new TypeAdapter<Multiset<E>>() {
|
|
* public void write(JsonWriter out, Multiset<E> value) throws IOException {
|
|
* if (value == null) {
|
|
* out.nullValue();
|
|
* return;
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* out.beginArray();
|
|
* for (Multiset.Entry<E> entry : value.entrySet()) {
|
|
* out.value(entry.getCount());
|
|
* elementAdapter.write(out, entry.getElement());
|
|
* }
|
|
* out.endArray();
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* public Multiset<E> read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
|
|
* if (in.peek() == JsonToken.NULL) {
|
|
* in.nextNull();
|
|
* return null;
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* Multiset<E> result = LinkedHashMultiset.create();
|
|
* in.beginArray();
|
|
* while (in.hasNext()) {
|
|
* int count = in.nextInt();
|
|
* E element = elementAdapter.read(in);
|
|
* result.add(element, count);
|
|
* }
|
|
* in.endArray();
|
|
* return result;
|
|
* }
|
|
* };
|
|
* }
|
|
* }
|
|
* }</pre>
|
|
*
|
|
* Delegating from one type adapter to another is extremely powerful; it's the foundation of how
|
|
* Gson converts Java objects and collections. Whenever possible your factory should retrieve its
|
|
* delegate type adapter in the {@code create()} method; this ensures potentially-expensive type
|
|
* adapter creation happens only once.
