Interface ExclusionStrategy</H2>

|
|
<P>
|
|
A strategy (or policy) definition that is used to decide whether or not a field or top-level
|
|
class should be serialized or deserialized as part of the JSON output/input. For serialization,
|
|
if the <A HREF="../../../com/google/gson/ExclusionStrategy.html#shouldSkipClass(java.lang.Class)"><CODE>shouldSkipClass(Class)</CODE></A> method returns false then that class or field type
|
|
will not be part of the JSON output. For deserialization, if <A HREF="../../../com/google/gson/ExclusionStrategy.html#shouldSkipClass(java.lang.Class)"><CODE>shouldSkipClass(Class)</CODE></A>
|
|
returns false, then it will not be set as part of the Java object structure.
|
|
|
|
<p>The following are a few examples that shows how you can use this exclusion mechanism.
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Exclude fields and objects based on a particular class type:</strong>
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
private static class SpecificClassExclusionStrategy implements ExclusionStrategy {
|
|
private final Class<?> excludedThisClass;
|
|
|
|
public SpecificClassExclusionStrategy(Class<?> excludedThisClass) {
|
|
this.excludedThisClass = excludedThisClass;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public boolean shouldSkipClass(Class<?> clazz) {
|
|
return excludedThisClass.equals(clazz);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public boolean shouldSkipField(FieldAttributes f) {
|
|
return excludedThisClass.equals(f.getDeclaredClass());
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Excludes fields and objects based on a particular annotation:</strong>
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
public @interface FooAnnotation {
|
|
// some implementation here
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Excludes any field (or class) that is tagged with an "@FooAnnotation"
|
|
private static class FooAnnotationExclusionStrategy implements ExclusionStrategy {
|
|
public boolean shouldSkipClass(Class<?> clazz) {
|
|
return clazz.getAnnotation(FooAnnotation.class) != null;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public boolean shouldSkipField(FieldAttributes f) {
|
|
return f.getAnnotation(FooAnnotation.class) != null;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now if you want to configure <code>Gson</code> to use a user defined exclusion strategy, then
|
|
the <code>GsonBuilder</code> is required. The following is an example of how you can use the
|
|
<code>GsonBuilder</code> to configure Gson to use one of the above sample:
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
ExclusionStrategy excludeStrings = new UserDefinedExclusionStrategy(String.class);
|
|
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
|
|
.setExclusionStrategies(excludeStrings)
|
|
.create();
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>For certain model classes, you may only want to serialize a field, but exclude it for
|
|
deserialization. To do that, you can write an <code>ExclusionStrategy</code> as per normal;
|
|
however, you would register it with the
|
|
<A HREF="../../../com/google/gson/GsonBuilder.html#addDeserializationExclusionStrategy(com.google.gson.ExclusionStrategy)"><CODE>GsonBuilder.addDeserializationExclusionStrategy(ExclusionStrategy)</CODE></A> method.
|
|
For example:
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
ExclusionStrategy excludeStrings = new UserDefinedExclusionStrategy(String.class);
|
|
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
|
|
.addDeserializationExclusionStrategy(excludeStrings)
|
|
.create();
|
|
</pre>
