Java Gson Exclude fields during serialization

Question

I have a ConfigInstance class which contains a password and a password_hash. Now I want to serialize the object using gson but exclude

Answer 1

@utkusonmez This answer works albeit the method mentioned is wrong. It should be using 'addSerializationExclusionStrategy' instead of 'addDeserializationExclusionStrategy'

So the answer would look like

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
            .addSerializationExclusionStrategy(new ExclusionStrategy() {
                @Override
                public boolean shouldSkipField(FieldAttributes f) {
                    return f.getName().toLowerCase().contains("fieldName");
                }

                @Override
                public boolean shouldSkipClass(Class aClass) {
                    return false;
                }
            })
            .create();

gson.toJson(*OBJ_TO_SERIALIZE*))
