-/**
- * <p>Interface representing a custom deserializer for Json. You should write a custom
- * deserializer, if you are not happy with the default deserialization done by Gson. You will
- * also need to register this deserializer through
- * {@link GsonBuilder#registerTypeAdapter(Type, Object)}.</p>
- *
- * <p>Let us look at example where defining a deserializer will be useful. The {@code Id} class
- * defined below has two fields: {@code clazz} and {@code value}.</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>The default deserialization of {@code Id(com.foo.MyObject.class, 20L)} will require the
- * Json string to be <code>{"clazz":com.foo.MyObject,"value":20}</code>. Suppose, you already know
- * the type of the field that the {@code Id} will be deserialized into, and hence just want to
- * deserialize it from a Json string {@code 20}. You can achieve that by writing a custom
- * deserializer:</p>
- *
- * <pre>
- * class IdDeserializer implements JsonDeserializer&lt;Id&gt;() {
- *   public Id deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT, JsonDeserializationContext context)
- *       throws JsonParseException {
- *     return new Id((Class)typeOfT, id.getValue());
- *   }
- * </pre>
- *
- * <p>You will also need to register {@code IdDeserializer} with Gson as follows:</p>
- *
- * <pre>
- * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapter(Id.class, new IdDeserializer()).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 deserializer is being registered. It is possible that a
- * deserializer may be asked to deserialize a specific generic type of the T.
