/**
* An annotation that indicates the Gson {@link TypeAdapter} to use with a class
* or field.
*
* <p>Here is an example of how this annotation is used:</p>
* <pre>
* @JsonAdapter(UserJsonAdapter.class)
* public class User {
* public final String firstName, lastName;
* private User(String firstName, String lastName) {
* this.firstName = firstName;
* this.lastName = lastName;
* }
* }
* public class UserJsonAdapter extends TypeAdapter<User> {
* @Override public void write(JsonWriter out, User user) throws IOException {
* // implement write: combine firstName and lastName into name
* out.beginObject();
* out.name("name");
* out.value(user.firstName + " " + user.lastName);
* out.endObject();
* // implement the write method
* }
* @Override public User read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
* // implement read: split name into firstName and lastName
* in.beginObject();
* in.nextName();
* String[] nameParts = in.nextString().split(" ");
* in.endObject();
* return new User(nameParts[0], nameParts[1]);
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* Since User class specified UserJsonAdapter.class in @JsonAdapter annotation, it
* will automatically be invoked to serialize/deserialize User instances. <br>
*
* <p> Here is an example of how to apply this annotation to a field.
* <pre>
* private static final class Gadget {
* @JsonAdapter(UserJsonAdapter2.class)
* final User user;
* Gadget(User user) {
* this.user = user;
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* It's possible to specify different type adapters on a field, that
* field's type, and in the {@link com.google.gson.GsonBuilder}. Field
* annotations take precedence over {@code GsonBuilder}-registered type
* adapters, which in turn take precedence over annotated types.
*
* <p>The class referenced by this annotation must be either a {@link
* TypeAdapter} or a {@link TypeAdapterFactory}. Using the factory interface
* makes it possible to delegate to the enclosing {@code Gson} instance.
*
* @since 2.3
