+/**
+ * A strategy (or policy) definition that is used to decide whether or not a field or top-level
+ * class should be serialized or deserialized as part of the JSON output/input. For serialization,
+ * if the {@link #shouldSkipClass(Class)} method returns false then that class or field type
+ * will not be part of the JSON output.  For deserialization, if {@link #shouldSkipClass(Class)}
+ * returns false, then it will not be set as part of the Java object structure.
+ *
+ * <p>The following are a few examples that shows how you can use this exclusion mechanism.
+ *
+ * <p><strong>Exclude fields and objects based on a particular class type:</strong>
+ * <pre class="code">
+ * private static class SpecificClassExclusionStrategy implements ExclusionStrategy {
+ *   private final Class&lt;?&gt; excludedThisClass;
+ *
+ *   public SpecificClassExclusionStrategy(Class&lt;?&gt; excludedThisClass) {
+ *     this.excludedThisClass = excludedThisClass;
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public boolean shouldSkipClass(Class&lt;?&gt; clazz) {
+ *     return excludedThisClass.equals(clazz);
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public boolean shouldSkipField(FieldAttributes f) {
+ *     return excludedThisClass.equals(f.getDeclaredClass());
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p><strong>Excludes fields and objects based on a particular annotation:</strong>
+ * <pre class="code">
+ * public &#64interface FooAnnotation {
+ *   // some implementation here
+ * }
+ *
+ * // Excludes any field (or class) that is tagged with an "&#64FooAnnotation"
+ * private static class FooAnnotationExclusionStrategy implements ExclusionStrategy {
+ *   public boolean shouldSkipClass(Class&lt;?&gt; clazz) {
+ *     return clazz.getAnnotation(FooAnnotation.class) != null;
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   public boolean shouldSkipField(FieldAttributes f) {
+ *     return f.getAnnotation(FooAnnotation.class) != null;
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>Now if you want to configure {@code Gson} to use a user defined exclusion strategy, then
+ * the {@code GsonBuilder} is required. The following is an example of how you can use the
+ * {@code GsonBuilder} to configure Gson to use one of the above sample:
+ * <pre class="code">
+ * ExclusionStrategy excludeStrings = new UserDefinedExclusionStrategy(String.class);
+ * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
+ *     .setExclusionStrategies(excludeStrings)
+ *     .create();
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>For certain model classes, you may only want to serialize a field, but exclude it for
+ * deserialization. To do that, you can write an {@code ExclusionStrategy} as per normal;
+ * however, you would register it with the
+ * {@link GsonBuilder#addDeserializationExclusionStrategy(ExclusionStrategy)} method.
+ * For example:
+ * <pre class="code">
+ * ExclusionStrategy excludeStrings = new UserDefinedExclusionStrategy(String.class);
+ * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
+ *     .addDeserializationExclusionStrategy(excludeStrings)
+ *     .create();
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * @author Inderjeet Singh

+/**
+ * This is the main class for using Gson. Gson is typically used by first constructing a
+ * Gson instance and then invoking {@link #toJson(Object)} or {@link #fromJson(String, Class)}
+ * methods on it.
+ *
+ * <p>You can create a Gson instance by invoking {@code new Gson()} if the default configuration
+ * is all you need. You can also use {@link GsonBuilder} to build a Gson instance with various
+ * configuration options such as versioning support, pretty printing, custom
+ * {@link JsonSerializer}s, {@link JsonDeserializer}s, and {@link InstanceCreator}s.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Here is an example of how Gson is used for a simple Class:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * Gson gson = new Gson(); // Or use new GsonBuilder().create();
+ * MyType target = new MyType();
+ * String json = gson.toJson(target); // serializes target to Json
+ * MyType target2 = gson.fromJson(json, MyType.class); // deserializes json into target2
+ * </pre></p>
+ *
+ * <p>If the object that your are serializing/deserializing is a {@code ParameterizedType}
+ * (i.e. contains at least one type parameter and may be an array) then you must use the
+ * {@link #toJson(Object, Type)} or {@link #fromJson(String, Type)} method.  Here is an
+ * example for serializing and deserialing a {@code ParameterizedType}:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * Type listType = new TypeToken&lt;List&lt;String&gt;&gt;() {}.getType();
+ * List&lt;String&gt; target = new LinkedList&lt;String&gt;();
+ * target.add("blah");
+ *
+ * Gson gson = new Gson();
+ * String json = gson.toJson(target, listType);
+ * List&lt;String&gt; target2 = gson.fromJson(json, listType);
+ * </pre></p>
+ *
+ * <p>See the <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/gson/gson-user-guide">Gson User Guide</a>
+ * for a more complete set of examples.</p>

+   *   ignores the millisecond portion of the date during serialization. You can change
+   *   this by invoking {@link GsonBuilder#setDateFormat(int)} or

+/**
+ * <p>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.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>The following is an example shows how to use the {@code GsonBuilder} to construct a Gson
+ * instance:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
+ *     .registerTypeAdapter(Id.class, new IdTypeAdapter())
+ *     .enableComplexMapKeySerialization()
+ *     .serializeNulls()
+ *     .setDateFormat(DateFormat.LONG)
+ *     .setFieldNamingPolicy(FieldNamingPolicy.UPPER_CAMEL_CASE)
+ *     .setPrettyPrinting()
+ *     .setVersion(1.0)
+ *     .create();
+ * </pre></p>
+ *
+ * <p>NOTES:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li> the order of invocation of configuration methods does not matter.</li>
+ * <li> The default serialization of {@link Date} and its subclasses in Gson does
+ *  not contain time-zone information. So, if you are using date/time instances,
+ *  use {@code GsonBuilder} and its {@code setDateFormat} methods.</li>

+   * to/from the JSON Primitive string value {@code "(x,y)"}. The Java map would
+   * then be serialized as a {@link JsonObject}.
+   *
+   * <p>Below is an example:
+   * <pre>  {@code
+   *   Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
+   *       .register(Point.class, new MyPointTypeAdapter())
+   *       .enableComplexMapKeySerialization()

+   *   original.put(new Point(8, 8), "b");
+   *   System.out.println(gson.toJson(original, type));
+   * }</pre>
+   * The above code prints this JSON object:<pre>  {@code
+   *   {
+   *     "(5,6)": "a",
+   *     "(8,8)": "b"
+   *   }
+   * }</pre>
+   *
+   * <h3>Maps as JSON arrays</h3>
+   * For this case, assume that a type adapter was NOT registered for some
+   * {@code Point} class, but rather the default Gson serialization is applied.
+   * In this case, some {@code new Point(2,3)} would serialize as {@code
+   * {"x":2,"y":5}}.
+   *
+   * <p>Given the assumption above, a {@code Map<Point, String>} will be
+   * serialize as an array of arrays (can be viewed as an entry set of pairs).
+   *
+   * <p>Below is an example of serializing complex types as JSON arrays:
+   * <pre> {@code
+   *   Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
+   *       .enableComplexMapKeySerialization()

+   *   original.put(new Point(8, 8), "b");
+   *   System.out.println(gson.toJson(original, type));
+   * }
+   *
+   * The JSON output would look as follows:
+   * <pre>   {@code
+   *   [
+   *     [
+   *       {
+   *         "x": 5,

+/**
+ * This interface is implemented to create instances of a class that does not define a no-args
+ * constructor. If you can modify the class, you should instead add a private, or public
+ * no-args constructor. However, that is not possible for library classes, such as JDK classes, or
+ * a third-party library that you do not have source-code of. In such cases, you should define an
+ * instance creator for the class. Implementations of this interface should be registered with
+ * {@link GsonBuilder#registerTypeAdapter(Type, Object)} method before Gson will be able to use
+ * them.
+ * <p>Let us look at an example where defining an InstanceCreator might be useful. The
+ * {@code Id} class defined below does not have a default no-args constructor.</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;
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>If Gson encounters an object of type {@code Id} during deserialization, it will throw an
+ * exception. The easiest way to solve this problem will be to add a (public or private) no-args
+ * constructor as follows:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * private Id() {
+ *   this(Object.class, 0L);
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>However, let us assume that the developer does not have access to the source-code of the
+ * {@code Id} class, or does not want to define a no-args constructor for it. The developer
+ * can solve this problem by defining an {@code InstanceCreator} for {@code Id}:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * class IdInstanceCreator implements InstanceCreator&lt;Id&gt; {
+ *   public Id createInstance(Type type) {
+ *     return new Id(Object.class, 0L);
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>Note that it does not matter what the fields of the created instance contain since Gson will
+ * overwrite them with the deserialized values specified in Json. You should also ensure that a
+ * <i>new</i> object is returned, not a common object since its fields will be overwritten.
+ * The developer will need to register {@code IdInstanceCreator} with Gson as follows:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapter(Id.class, new IdInstanceCreator()).create();
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * @param <T> the type of object that will be created by this implementation.

+ *
+ * <p>Let us look at example where defining a deserializer will be useful. The {@code Id} class

+ * deserialize it from a Json string {@code 20}. You can achieve that by writing a custom
+ * deserializer:</p>
+ *

+ * 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>
+ *

+ *

+ *   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>
+ *

+ * Basically, if Gson is created with a version number that exceeds the value stored in the
+ * {@code Until} annotation then the field will be ignored from the JSON output.  This annotation
+ * is useful to manage versioning of your JSON classes for a web-service.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * This annotation has no effect unless you build {@link com.massivecraft.mcore2.lib.gson.Gson} with a
+ * {@link com.massivecraft.mcore2.lib.gson.GsonBuilder} and invoke
+ * {@link com.massivecraft.mcore2.lib.gson.GsonBuilder#setVersion(double)} method.
+ *
+ * <p>Here is an example of how this annotation is meant to be used:</p>
+ * <pre>
+ * public class User {
+ *   private String firstName;
+ *   private String lastName;
+ *   &#64Until(1.1) private String emailAddress;
+ *   &#64Until(1.1) private String password;
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>If you created Gson with {@code new Gson()}, the {@code toJson()} and {@code fromJson()}
+ * methods will use all the fields for serialization and deserialization. However, if you created
+ * Gson with {@code Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setVersion(1.2).create()} then the
+ * {@code toJson()} and {@code fromJson()} methods of Gson will exclude the {@code emailAddress}
+ * and {@code password} fields from the example above, because the version number passed to the 
+ * GsonBuilder, {@code 1.2}, exceeds the version number set on the {@code Until} annotation,
+ * {@code 1.1}, for those fields.

+/**
+ * Adapts maps to either JSON objects or JSON arrays.
+ *
+ * <h3>Maps as JSON objects</h3>
+ * For primitive keys or when complex map key serialization is not enabled, this
+ * converts Java {@link Map Maps} to JSON Objects. This requires that map keys
+ * can be serialized as strings; this is insufficient for some key types. For
+ * example, consider a map whose keys are points on a grid. The default JSON
+ * form encodes reasonably: <pre>   {@code
+ *   Map<Point, String> original = new LinkedHashMap<Point, String>();
+ *   original.put(new Point(5, 6), "a");
+ *   original.put(new Point(8, 8), "b");
+ *   System.out.println(gson.toJson(original, type));
+ * }</pre>
+ * The above code prints this JSON object:<pre>   {@code
+ *   {
+ *     "(5,6)": "a",
+ *     "(8,8)": "b"
+ *   }
+ * }</pre>
+ * But GSON is unable to deserialize this value because the JSON string name is
+ * just the {@link Object#toString() toString()} of the map key. Attempting to
+ * convert the above JSON to an object fails with a parse exception:
+ * <pre>com.google.gson.JsonParseException: Expecting object found: "(5,6)"
+ *   at com.google.gson.JsonObjectDeserializationVisitor.visitFieldUsingCustomHandler
+ *   at com.google.gson.ObjectNavigator.navigateClassFields
+ *   ...</pre>
+ *
+ * <h3>Maps as JSON arrays</h3>
+ * An alternative approach taken by this type adapter when it is required and
+ * complex map key serialization is enabled is to encode maps as arrays of map
+ * entries. Each map entry is a two element array containing a key and a value.
+ * This approach is more flexible because any type can be used as the map's key;
+ * not just strings. But it's also less portable because the receiver of such
+ * JSON must be aware of the map entry convention.
+ *
+ * <p>Register this adapter when you are creating your GSON instance.
+ * <pre>   {@code
+ *   Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
+ *     .registerTypeAdapter(Map.class, new MapAsArrayTypeAdapter())
+ *     .create();
+ * }</pre>
+ * This will change the structure of the JSON emitted by the code above. Now we
+ * get an array. In this case the arrays elements are map entries:
+ * <pre>   {@code
+ *   [
+ *     [
+ *       {
+ *         "x": 5,
+ *         "y": 6
+ *       },
+ *       "a",
+ *     ],
+ *     [
+ *       {
+ *         "x": 8,
+ *         "y": 8
+ *       },
+ *       "b"
+ *     ]
+ *   ]
+ * }</pre>
+ * This format will serialize and deserialize just fine as long as this adapter
+ * is registered.
