GSON tutorial to implement JSON serialization and deserialization of Java objects

Download GSON from GitHub: https://github.com/google/gson
The application of Gson mainly consists of two conversion functions: toJson and fromJson. Before using this kind of object conversion, you need to create the object category first. And its members can successfully convert the JSON string into the corresponding object.

class Examples {
 private int answer1 = 100;
 private String answer2 = "Hello world!";
 Examples(){
 }   // default constructor
}

Serialize JAVA object into JSON string

Examples example1 = new Examples();
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(example1);

The json result will be

{"answer1":100,"answer2":"Hello world!"}

Deserialize JSON string into corresponding JAVA object

Examples example2= gson.fromJson(json,Examples.class);

==> example2 is the same as example1

Object example1 is serialized into JSON string and passed through toJson , and then declare an object example2 to receive JSON and deserialize it into example2 through fromJson, so example1 is the same as example2

Example:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
   
import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken;
   
class User{
  public User(String name,int age,StringBuffer sex,boolean isChild){
   this.name = name;
   this.age = age;
   this.sex = sex;
   this.isChild = isChild;
  }
  private String name;
  private int age;
  private StringBuffer sex;
  private boolean isChild;
  public String toString(){
   return "{name="+name+";age="+age+";sex="+sex+";isChild="+isChild+"}";
  }
  public int hashCode(){
   return name.hashCode()*100+age;
  }
}

  public static void main(String[] args) {
