Google Gson Tutorial
What is GSON?
Google Gson is an open source, Java-based library developed by Google. It facilitates serialization of Java objects to JSON and vice versa. This tutorial adopts a simple and intuitive way to describe the basic-to-advanced concepts of Google Gson and how to use its APIs.
This Google GSON tutorial is based on the latest Google GSON 2.13.1 version.
Features of Google Gson

Easy to use − Gson API provides a high-level facade to simplify commonly used use-cases.
No need to create mapping − Gson API provides default mapping for most of the objects to be serialized.
Performance − Gson is quite fast and is of low memory footprint. It is suitable for large object graphs or systems.
Clean JSON − Gson creates a clean and compact JSON result which is easy to read.
No Dependency − Gson library does not require any other library apart from JDK.
Open Source − Gson library is open source; it is freely available.
