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;

 * }
 * 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 RuntimeTypeAdapterFactory} by passing the base type and type field name to the * {@link #of} factory method. If you don't supply an explicit type field name, {@code "type"} will * be used. * *
{@code
 * RuntimeTypeAdapterFactory shapeAdapterFactory
 *     = RuntimeTypeAdapterFactory.of(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
 * shapeAdapterFactory.registerSubtype(Rectangle.class, "Rectangle");
 * shapeAdapterFactory.registerSubtype(Circle.class, "Circle");
 * shapeAdapterFactory.registerSubtype(Diamond.class, "Diamond");
 * }
* * Finally, register the type adapter factory in your application's GSON builder: * *
{@code
 * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
 *     .registerTypeAdapterFactory(shapeAdapterFactory)
 *     .create();
 * }
* * Like {@code GsonBuilder}, this API supports chaining: * *
{@code
 * RuntimeTypeAdapterFactory shapeAdapterFactory = RuntimeTypeAdapterFactory.of(Shape.class)
 *     .registerSubtype(Rectangle.class)
 *     .registerSubtype(Circle.class)
 *     .registerSubtype(Diamond.class);
 * }
* *

Serialization and deserialization

* * In order to serialize and deserialize a polymorphic object, you must specify the base type * explicitly. * *
{@code
 * Diamond diamond = new Diamond();
 * String json = gson.toJson(diamond, Shape.class);
 * }
* * And then: * *
{@code
 * Shape shape = gson.fromJson(json, Shape.class);
 * }
