/**
 * Converts Java objects to and from JSON.
 *
 * <h3>Defining a type's JSON form</h3>
 * By default Gson converts application classes to JSON using its built-in type
 * adapters. If Gson's default JSON conversion isn't appropriate for a type,
 * extend this class to customize the conversion. Here's an example of a type
 * adapter for an (X,Y) coordinate point: <pre>   {@code
 *
 *   public class PointAdapter extends TypeAdapter<Point> {
 *     public Point read(JsonReader reader) throws IOException {
 *       if (reader.peek() == JsonToken.NULL) {
 *         reader.nextNull();
 *         return null;
 *       }
 *       String xy = reader.nextString();
 *       String[] parts = xy.split(",");
 *       int x = Integer.parseInt(parts[0]);
 *       int y = Integer.parseInt(parts[1]);
 *       return new Point(x, y);
 *     }
 *     public void write(JsonWriter writer, Point value) throws IOException {
 *       if (value == null) {
 *         writer.nullValue();
 *         return;
 *       }
 *       String xy = value.getX() + "," + value.getY();
 *       writer.value(xy);
 *     }
 *   }}</pre>
 * With this type adapter installed, Gson will convert {@code Points} to JSON as
 * strings like {@code "5,8"} rather than objects like {@code {"x":5,"y":8}}. In
 * this case the type adapter binds a rich Java class to a compact JSON value.
 *
 * <p>The {@link #read(JsonReader) read()} method must read exactly one value
 * and {@link #write(JsonWriter,Object) write()} must write exactly one value.
 * For primitive types this is means readers should make exactly one call to
 * {@code nextBoolean()}, {@code nextDouble()}, {@code nextInt()}, {@code
 * nextLong()}, {@code nextString()} or {@code nextNull()}. Writers should make
 * exactly one call to one of <code>value()</code> or <code>nullValue()</code>.
 * For arrays, type adapters should start with a call to {@code beginArray()},
 * convert all elements, and finish with a call to {@code endArray()}. For
 * objects, they should start with {@code beginObject()}, convert the object,
 * and finish with {@code endObject()}. Failing to convert a value or converting
 * too many values may cause the application to crash.
 *
 * <p>Type adapters should be prepared to read null from the stream and write it
 * to the stream. Alternatively, they should use {@link #nullSafe()} method while
 * registering the type adapter with Gson. If your {@code Gson} instance
 * has been configured to {@link GsonBuilder#serializeNulls()}, these nulls will be
 * written to the final document. Otherwise the value (and the corresponding name
 * when writing to a JSON object) will be omitted automatically. In either case
 * your type adapter must handle null.
 *
 * <p>To use a custom type adapter with Gson, you must <i>register</i> it with a
 * {@link GsonBuilder}: <pre>   {@code
 *
 *   GsonBuilder builder = new GsonBuilder();
 *   builder.registerTypeAdapter(Point.class, new PointAdapter());
 *   // if PointAdapter didn't check for nulls in its read/write methods, you should instead use
 *   // builder.registerTypeAdapter(Point.class, new PointAdapter().nullSafe());
 *   ...
 *   Gson gson = builder.create();
 * }</pre>
 *
 * @since 2.1

// <h3>JSON Conversion</h3>
// <p>A type adapter registered with Gson is automatically invoked while serializing
// or deserializing JSON. However, you can also use type adapters directly to serialize
// and deserialize JSON. Here is an example for deserialization: <pre>   {@code
//
//   String json = "{'origin':'0,0','points':['1,2','3,4']}";
//   TypeAdapter<Graph> graphAdapter = gson.getAdapter(Graph.class);
//   Graph graph = graphAdapter.fromJson(json);
// }</pre>
// And an example for serialization: <pre>   {@code
//
//   Graph graph = new Graph(...);
//   TypeAdapter<Graph> graphAdapter = gson.getAdapter(Graph.class);
//   String json = graphAdapter.toJson(graph);
// }</pre>
//
// <p>Type adapters are <strong>type-specific</strong>. For example, a {@code
// TypeAdapter<Date>} can convert {@code Date} instances to JSON and JSON to
// instances of {@code Date}, but cannot convert any other types.
//

   * This wrapper method is used to make a type adapter null tolerant. In general, a
   * type adapter is required to handle nulls in write and read methods. Here is how this
   * is typically done:<br>
   * <pre>   {@code
   *
   * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapter(Foo.class,
   *   new TypeAdapter<Foo>() {
   *     public Foo read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
   *       if (in.peek() == JsonToken.NULL) {
   *         in.nextNull();
   *         return null;
   *       }
   *       // read a Foo from in and return it
   *     }
   *     public void write(JsonWriter out, Foo src) throws IOException {
   *       if (src == null) {
   *         out.nullValue();
   *         return;
   *       }
   *       // write src as JSON to out
   *     }
   *   }).create();
   * }</pre>
   * You can avoid this boilerplate handling of nulls by wrapping your type adapter with
   * this method. Here is how we will rewrite the above example:
   * <pre>   {@code
   *
   * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapter(Foo.class,
   *   new TypeAdapter<Foo>() {
   *     public Foo read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
   *       // read a Foo from in and return it
   *     }
   *     public void write(JsonWriter out, Foo src) throws IOException {
   *       // write src as JSON to out
   *     }
   *   }.nullSafe()).create();
   * }</pre>
   * Note that we didn't need to check for nulls in our type adapter after we used nullSafe.
