Java Type Generic as Argument for GSON

Question

In GSON to get a list of objects you do

Gson gson = new Gson();
Type token = new TypeToken>(){}.getType();
return gson.fromJson(json         


        

Answer 1

Since gson 2.8.0, you can use TypeToken#getParametized((Type rawType, Type... typeArguments)) to create the typeToken, then getType() should do the trick.

For example:

TypeToken.getParameterized(List.class, myType).getType();
