Gson

Gson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. Gson can work with arbitrary Java objects including pre-existing objects that you do not have source-code of.

There are a few open-source projects that can convert Java objects to JSON. However, most of them require that you place Java annotations in your classes; something that you can not do if you do not have access to the source-code. Most also do not fully support the use of Java Generics. Gson considers both of these as very important design goals.

ℹ️ Gson is currently in maintenance mode; existing bugs will be fixed, but large new features will likely not be added. If you want to add a new feature, please first search for existing GitHub issues, or create a new one to discuss the feature and get feedback.

Goals

• Provide simple toJson() and fromJson() methods to convert Java objects to JSON and vice-versa
• Allow pre-existing unmodifiable objects to be converted to and from JSON
• Extensive support of Java Generics
• Allow custom representations for objects
• Support arbitrarily complex objects (with deep inheritance hierarchies and extensive use of generic types)

Download

Gradle:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.9.0'
}

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
  <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
  <version>2.9.0</version>
</dependency>

Gson jar downloads are available from Maven Central.

Requirements

Minimum Java version

• Gson 2.9.0 and newer: Java 7
• Gson 2.8.9 and older: Java 6

Despite supporting older Java versions, Gson also provides a JPMS module descriptor (module name com.google.gson) for users of Java 9 or newer.

JPMS dependencies (Java 9+)

These are the optional Java Platform Module System (JPMS) JDK modules which Gson depends on. This only applies when running Java 9 or newer.

• java.sql (optional since Gson 2.8.9)
  When this module is present, Gson provides default adapters for some SQL date and time classes.

• jdk.unsupported, respectively class sun.misc.Unsafe (optional)
  When this module is present, Gson can use the Unsafe class to create instances of classes without no-args constructor. However, care should be taken when relying on this. Unsafe is not available in all environments and its usage has some pitfalls, see GsonBuilder.disableJdkUnsafe().
