Interface GsonSupport

public interface GsonSupport

Extension interface that makes IBeans serializable and deserializable with Gson. If an IBean interface extends GsonSupport you are able to convert any IBean instance from and to JSON. For this to work you need another two prerequisites:

• Gson with version 2.4 or higher need to be in the classpath.
• GsonSerializerDeserializerForIBeans needs to be registered in the used Gson. See GsonSerializerDeserializerForIBeans for details.
