-/**
- * Interface representing a custom serializer for Json. You should write a custom serializer, if
- * you are not happy with the default serialization done by Gson. You will also need to register
- * this serializer through {@link com.google.gson.GsonBuilder#registerTypeAdapter(Type, Object)}.
- *
- * <p>Let us look at example where defining a serializer will be useful. The {@code Id} class
- * defined below has two fields: {@code clazz} and {@code value}.</p>
- *
- * <p><pre>
- * public class Id&lt;T&gt; {
- *   private final Class&lt;T&gt; clazz;
- *   private final long value;
- *
- *   public Id(Class&lt;T&gt; clazz, long value) {
- *     this.clazz = clazz;
- *     this.value = value;
- *   }
- *
- *   public long getValue() {
- *     return value;
- *   }
- * }
- * </pre></p>
- *
- * <p>The default serialization of {@code Id(com.foo.MyObject.class, 20L)} will be
- * <code>{"clazz":com.foo.MyObject,"value":20}</code>. Suppose, you just want the output to be
- * the value instead, which is {@code 20} in this case. You can achieve that by writing a custom
- * serializer:</p>
- *
- * <p><pre>
- * class IdSerializer implements JsonSerializer&lt;Id&gt;() {
- *   public JsonElement serialize(Id id, Type typeOfId, JsonSerializationContext context) {
- *     return new JsonPrimitive(id.getValue());
- *   }
- * }
- * </pre></p>
- *
- * <p>You will also need to register {@code IdSerializer} with Gson as follows:</p>
- * <pre>
- * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapter(Id.class, new IdSerializer()).create();
- * </pre>
- *
- * <p>New applications should prefer {@link TypeAdapter}, whose streaming API
- * is more efficient than this interface's tree API.
- *
- * @author Inderjeet Singh

- *
- * @param <T> type for which the serializer is being registered. It is possible that a serializer
- *        may be asked to serialize a specific generic type of the T.

-  /**
-   * Gson invokes this call-back method during serialization when it encounters a field of the
-   * specified type.
-   *
-   * <p>In the implementation of this call-back method, you should consider invoking
-   * {@link JsonSerializationContext#serialize(Object, Type)} method to create JsonElements for any
-   * non-trivial field of the {@code src} object. However, you should never invoke it on the
-   * {@code src} object itself since that will cause an infinite loop (Gson will call your
-   * call-back method again).</p>
-   *
-   * @param src the object that needs to be converted to Json.
-   * @param typeOfSrc the actual type (fully genericized version) of the source object.
-   * @return a JsonElement corresponding to the specified object.
