Multiple GSON @SerializedName per field?

Question

Is there any way in Gson to map multiple JSON fields to a single Java object member variable?

Let\'s say I have a Java class...

public class MyClass          


        

Answer 1

In October 2015, Gson version 2.4 (changelog) added the ability to use alternate/multiple names for @SerializedName when deserializing. No more custom TypeAdapter needed!

Usage:

@SerializedName(value="name", alternate={"person", "user"})
