/**
 * This is the main class for using Gson. Gson is typically used by first constructing a
 * Gson instance and then invoking {@link #toJson(Object)} or {@link #fromJson(String, Class)}
 * methods on it.
 *
 * <p>You can create a Gson instance by invoking {@code new Gson()} if the default configuration
 * is all you need. You can also use {@link GsonBuilder} to build a Gson instance with various
 * configuration options such as versioning support, pretty printing, custom
 * {@link JsonSerializer}s, {@link JsonDeserializer}s, and {@link InstanceCreator}s.</p>
 *
 * <p>Here is an example of how Gson is used for a simple Class:
 *
 * <pre>
 * Gson gson = new Gson(); // Or use new GsonBuilder().create();
 * MyType target = new MyType();
 * String json = gson.toJson(target); // serializes target to Json
 * MyType target2 = gson.fromJson(json, MyType.class); // deserializes json into target2
 * </pre></p>
 *
 * <p>If the object that your are serializing/deserializing is a {@code ParameterizedType}
 * (i.e. contains at least one type parameter and may be an array) then you must use the
 * {@link #toJson(Object, Type)} or {@link #fromJson(String, Type)} method.  Here is an
 * example for serializing and deserialing a {@code ParameterizedType}:
 *
 * <pre>
 * Type listType = new TypeToken&lt;List&lt;String&gt;&gt;() {}.getType();
 * List&lt;String&gt; target = new LinkedList&lt;String&gt;();
 * target.add("blah");
 *
 * Gson gson = new Gson();
 * String json = gson.toJson(target, listType);
 * List&lt;String&gt; target2 = gson.fromJson(json, listType);
 * </pre></p>
 *
 * <p>See the <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/gson/gson-user-guide">Gson User Guide</a>
 * for a more complete set of examples.</p>

   *   {@link GsonBuilder#setPrettyPrinting()}. </li>
   *   <li>The generated JSON omits all the fields that are null. Note that nulls in arrays are
   *   kept as is since an array is an ordered list. Moreover, if a field is not null, but its
   *   generated JSON is empty, the field is kept. You can configure Gson to serialize null values
   *   by setting {@link GsonBuilder#serializeNulls()}.</li>
   *   <li>Gson provides default serialization and deserialization for Enums, {@link Map},
   *   {@link java.net.URL}, {@link java.net.URI}, {@link java.util.Locale}, {@link java.util.Date},
   *   {@link java.math.BigDecimal}, and {@link java.math.BigInteger} classes. If you would prefer
   *   to change the default representation, you can do so by registering a type adapter through
   *   {@link GsonBuilder#registerTypeAdapter(Type, Object)}. </li>
   *   <li>The default Date format is same as {@link java.text.DateFormat#DEFAULT}. This format
   *   ignores the millisecond portion of the date during serialization. You can change
   *   this by invoking {@link GsonBuilder#setDateFormat(int)} or
   *   {@link GsonBuilder#setDateFormat(String)}. </li>
   *   <li>By default, Gson ignores the {@link com.google.gson.annotations.Expose} annotation.
   *   You can enable Gson to serialize/deserialize only those fields marked with this annotation
   *   through {@link GsonBuilder#excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation()}. </li>
   *   <li>By default, Gson ignores the {@link com.google.gson.annotations.Since} annotation. You
   *   can enable Gson to use this annotation through {@link GsonBuilder#setVersion(double)}.</li>
   *   <li>The default field naming policy for the output Json is same as in Java. So, a Java class
   *   field <code>versionNumber</code> will be output as <code>&quot;versionNumber&quot;</code> in
   *   Json. The same rules are applied for mapping incoming Json to the Java classes. You can
   *   change this policy through {@link GsonBuilder#setFieldNamingPolicy(FieldNamingPolicy)}.</li>
   *   <li>By default, Gson excludes <code>transient</code> or <code>static</code> fields from
   *   consideration for serialization and deserialization. You can change this behavior through
   *   {@link GsonBuilder#excludeFieldsWithModifiers(int...)}.</li>

   * This method is used to get an alternate type adapter for the specified type. This is used
   * to access a type adapter that is overridden by a {@link TypeAdapterFactory} that you
   * may have registered. This features is typically used when you want to register a type
   * adapter that does a little bit of work but then delegates further processing to the Gson
   * default type adapter. Here is an example:
   * <p>Let's say we want to write a type adapter that counts the number of objects being read
   *  from or written to JSON. We can achieve this by writing a type adapter factory that uses
   *  the <code>getDelegateAdapter</code> method:
   *  <pre> {@code
   *  class StatsTypeAdapterFactory implements TypeAdapterFactory {
   *    public int numReads = 0;
   *    public int numWrites = 0;
   *    public &lt;T&gt; TypeAdapter&lt;T&gt; create(Gson gson, TypeToken&lt;T&gt; type) {
   *      final TypeAdapter&lt;T&gt; delegate = gson.getDelegateAdapter(this, type);
   *      return new TypeAdapter&lt;T&gt;() {
   *        public void write(JsonWriter out, T value) throws IOException {
   *          ++numWrites;
   *          delegate.write(out, value);
   *        }
   *        public T read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
   *          ++numReads;
   *          return delegate.read(in);
   *        }
   *      };
   *    }
   *  }
   *  } </pre>
   *  This factory can now be used like this:
   *  <pre> {@code
   *  StatsTypeAdapterFactory stats = new StatsTypeAdapterFactory();
   *  Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapterFactory(stats).create();
   *  // Call gson.toJson() and fromJson methods on objects
   *  System.out.println("Num JSON reads" + stats.numReads);
   *  System.out.println("Num JSON writes" + stats.numWrites);
   *  }</pre>
   *  Note that since you can not override type adapter factories for String and Java primitive
   *  types, our stats factory will not count the number of String or primitives that will be
   *  read or written.
   * @param skipPast The type adapter factory that needs to be skipped while searching for
   *   a matching type adapter. In most cases, you should just pass <i>this</i> (the type adapter
   *   factory from where {@link #getDelegateAdapter} method is being invoked).
   * @param type Type for which the delegate adapter is being searched for.
