<P>
An annotation that indicates this member should be serialized to JSON with
the provided name value as its field name.
<p>This annotation will override any <A HREF="../../../../com/google/gson/FieldNamingPolicy.html" title="enum in com.google.gson"><CODE>FieldNamingPolicy</CODE></A>, including
the default field naming policy, that may have been set on the <A HREF="../../../../com/google/gson/Gson.html" title="class in com.google.gson"><CODE>Gson</CODE></A>
instance. A different naming policy can set using the <code>GsonBuilder</code> class. See
<A HREF="../../../../com/google/gson/GsonBuilder.html#setFieldNamingPolicy(com.google.gson.FieldNamingPolicy)"><CODE>GsonBuilder.setFieldNamingPolicy(com.google.gson.FieldNamingPolicy)</CODE></A>
for more information.</p>
<p>Here is an example of how this annotation is meant to be used:</p>
<pre>
public class SomeClassWithFields {
&#64SerializedName("name") private final String someField;
private final String someOtherField;
public SomeClassWithFields(String a, String b) {
this.someField = a;
this.someOtherField = b;
}
}
</pre>
<p>The following shows the output that is generated when serializing an instance of the
above example class:</p>
<pre>
SomeClassWithFields objectToSerialize = new SomeClassWithFields("a", "b");
Gson gson = new Gson();
String jsonRepresentation = gson.toJson(objectToSerialize);
System.out.println(jsonRepresentation);
===== OUTPUT =====
{"name":"a","someOtherField":"b"}
</pre>
<p>NOTE: The value you specify in this annotation must be a valid JSON field name.</p>
