A type safe gson adapter.

Introduction

This library can help mismatch input types keep correct default value, never null. But keep in mind, input JSON should still be legal format.

It doesn't change the Gson original code, just append a TypeAdapterFactory.

Safe Types

Type	Default Value
String	""
byte / Byte	(byte)0
short / Short	(short)0
int / Integer	0
long / Long	0L
float / Float	0f
double / Double	0.0
boolen / Boolean	false
char / Character	(char)0
Collection	[]
Map	{}
Array / GenericArray	[]

More details: see TypeSafeTest

Usage

Step 1

implementation 'com.dieyidezui.gson:type-safe-adapter:1.0.1'

Step 2

 Gson safeGson = new GsonBuilder()
                .registerTypeAdapterFactory(TypeSafeAdapterFactory.newInstance())
                .create();

Caution

1. Gson.fromJson(String, Type) will check input String. If null, null returned immediately.

2. The minimal supported gson version is 2.2.2.

3. The theory of safe depends Gson's implementation, So it may lead to some imcompatible case if Gson changed specific code in future version.
