Use this builder to construct a {@link Gson} instance when you need to set configuration * options other than the default. For {@link Gson} with default configuration, it is simpler to * use {@code new Gson()}. {@code GsonBuilder} is best used by creating it, and then invoking its * various configuration methods, and finally calling create.

* *

The following is an example shows how to use the {@code GsonBuilder} to construct a Gson * instance: * *

 * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
 *     .registerTypeAdapter(Id.class, new IdTypeAdapter())
 *     .serializeNulls()
 *     .setDateFormat(DateFormat.LONG)
 *     .setFieldNamingPolicy(FieldNamingPolicy.UPPER_CAMEL_CASE)
 *     .setPrettyPrinting()
 *     .setVersion(1.0)
 *     .create();
 * 

* *

NOTE: the order of invocation of configuration methods does not matter.
