JsonTypeAdapter (javers-core 5.15.0 API)

Type Parameters:

T - user type, mapped to ValueType or CustomType

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicStringTypeAdapter, CdoSnapshotStateTypeAdapter, JsonTypeAdapterTemplate
```
public interface JsonTypeAdapter<T>
```
Javers abstraction over native Gson TypeAdapter.
Implement a JsonTypeAdapter to add custom JSON serialization and deserialization behaviour, depending on your domain model.
Implementation shouldn't take care about nulls (nulls are handled by Gson engine). For a concrete adapter implementation example see LocalDateTimeTypeAdapter.
Convenient template classes are available, see BasicStringTypeAdapter
Usage with Vanilla Javers
```
Javers javers = JaversBuilder.javers()
                  .registerValueTypeAdapter(new MyTypeAdapter())
                  .build();
 
```
Usage with Javers Spring Boot starters
Simply register your JSON type adapters as Spring beans.

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`T`	`fromJson(com.google.gson.JsonElement json, com.google.gson.JsonDeserializationContext jsonDeserializationContext)`
`java.util.List<java.lang.Class>`	`getValueTypes()`	Target class (or classes), typically `ValueType` or `CustomType`.

```
T fromJson(com.google.gson.JsonElement json,
           com.google.gson.JsonDeserializationContext jsonDeserializationContext)
```
    Parameters:
    
    json - not null and not JsonNull
    
    jsonDeserializationContext - use it to invoke default deserialization on the specified object
  - toJson
```
com.google.gson.JsonElement toJson(T sourceValue,
                                   com.google.gson.JsonSerializationContext jsonSerializationContext)
```
    Parameters:
    
    sourceValue - not null
    
    jsonSerializationContext - use it to invoke default serialization on the specified object
  - getValueTypes
```
java.util.List<java.lang.Class> getValueTypes()
```
    Target class (or classes), typically ValueType or CustomType.
    Each target class should have a no-argument constructor (public or private).
    If adapter is designed to handle single class, should return a List with one element — a supported class.
