Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
<T> T	deserialize(JsonElement json, java.lang.reflect.Type typeOfT) Invokes default deserialization on the specified object.

Method Detail

deserialize

<T> T deserialize(JsonElement json,
                  java.lang.reflect.Type typeOfT)
           throws JsonParseException

Invokes default deserialization on the specified object. It should never be invoked on the element received as a parameter of the JsonDeserializer.deserialize(JsonElement, Type, JsonDeserializationContext) method. Doing so will result in an infinite loop since Gson will in-turn call the custom deserializer again.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the deserialized object.

Parameters:

json - the parse tree.

typeOfT - type of the expected return value.

Returns:

An object of type typeOfT.

Throws:

JsonParseException - if the parse tree does not contain expected data.
