+Interface JsonDeserializer&lt;T&gt;</H2>
+<DL>
+<DT><DT><B>Type Parameters:</B><DD><CODE>T</CODE> - type for which the deserializer is being registered. It is possible that a
+ deserializer may be asked to deserialize a specific generic type of the T.</DL>
+<HR>
+<DL>
+<DT><PRE>public interface <B>JsonDeserializer&lt;T&gt;</B></DL>
+</PRE>
+
+<P>
+<p>Interface representing a custom deserializer for Json. You should write a custom
+ deserializer, if you are not happy with the default deserialization done by Gson. You will
+ also need to register this deserializer through
+ <A HREF="../../../com/google/gson/GsonBuilder.html#registerTypeAdapter(java.lang.reflect.Type, java.lang.Object)"><CODE>GsonBuilder.registerTypeAdapter(Type, Object)</CODE></A>.</p>
+
+ <p>Let us look at example where defining a deserializer will be useful. The <code>Id</code> class
+ defined below has two fields: <code>clazz</code> and <code>value</code>.</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ public class Id&lt;T&gt; {
+ private final Class&lt;T&gt; clazz;
+ private final long value;
+ public Id(Class&lt;T&gt; clazz, long value) {
+ this.clazz = clazz;
+ this.value = value;
+ }
+ public long getValue() {
+ return value;
+ }
+ }
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>The default deserialization of <code>Id(com.foo.MyObject.class, 20L)</code> will require the
+ Json string to be <code>{"clazz":com.foo.MyObject,"value":20}</code>. Suppose, you already know
+ the type of the field that the <code>Id</code> will be deserialized into, and hence just want to
+ deserialize it from a Json string <code>20</code>. You can achieve that by writing a custom
+ deserializer:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ class IdDeserializer implements JsonDeserializer&lt;Id&gt;() {
+ public Id deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT, JsonDeserializationContext context)
+ throws JsonParseException {
+ return new Id((Class)typeOfT, id.getValue());
+ }
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>You will also need to register <code>IdDeserializer</code> with Gson as follows:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapter(Id.class, new IdDeserializer()).create();
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>New applications should prefer <A HREF="../../../com/google/gson/TypeAdapter.html" title="class in com.google.gson"><CODE>TypeAdapter</CODE></A>, whose streaming API
+ is more efficient than this interface's tree API.
