<P>
An annotation that indicates this member should be serialized to JSON with
 the provided name value as its field name.

 <p>This annotation will override any <A HREF="../../../../com/google/gson/FieldNamingPolicy.html" title="enum in com.google.gson"><CODE>FieldNamingPolicy</CODE></A>, including
 the default field naming policy, that may have been set on the <A HREF="../../../../com/google/gson/Gson.html" title="class in com.google.gson"><CODE>Gson</CODE></A>
 instance.  A different naming policy can set using the <code>GsonBuilder</code> class.  See
 <A HREF="../../../../com/google/gson/GsonBuilder.html#setFieldNamingPolicy(com.google.gson.FieldNamingPolicy)"><CODE>GsonBuilder.setFieldNamingPolicy(com.google.gson.FieldNamingPolicy)</CODE></A>
 for more information.</p>

 <p>Here is an example of how this annotation is meant to be used:</p>
 <pre>
 public class SomeClassWithFields {
   &#64SerializedName("name") private final String someField;
   private final String someOtherField;

   public SomeClassWithFields(String a, String b) {
     this.someField = a;
     this.someOtherField = b;
   }
 }
 </pre>

 <p>The following shows the output that is generated when serializing an instance of the
 above example class:</p>
 <pre>
 SomeClassWithFields objectToSerialize = new SomeClassWithFields("a", "b");
 Gson gson = new Gson();
 String jsonRepresentation = gson.toJson(objectToSerialize);
 System.out.println(jsonRepresentation);

 ===== OUTPUT =====
 {"name":"a","someOtherField":"b"}
 </pre>

 <p>NOTE: The value you specify in this annotation must be a valid JSON field name.</p>
