android: gson performance

Question

I am trying to use gson to do my object mapping on the android emulator.

It has been ridiculously slow when processing json data around 208 kb. I do not have any hie

Answer 1

I've found that I can speed up gson.fromJSON quite considerably by not modelling all the elements in the JSON that I won't need. GSON will happily fill in only what is specified in your response classes.
