Say I have serialized the following object as json string:
class Person {
public final String name;
public Person(String name) { this.name = name; }
}
Person p = new Person("Bob Falaway");
JsonObject json = gson.toJsonTree(p, Person.class).getAsJsonObject();
Now I want to deserialize it, but I want to split split the name into two fields, firstName and lastName. How do I do this?
I want the end to result in a class similar to:
class RefinedPerson {
public final String firstName;
public final String lastName;
public String toString() { return String.format("%s %s", firstName, lastName); }
}
Is this at all possible with Gson?
