pojo parse gson with invalid java names

Question

i\'m working with the youtube json from google-api-client :

{
    \"apiVersion\": \"2.0\",
    \"data\": {
        \"updated\": \"2011-01-05T13:48:33.146Z\",         


        

Answer 1

I believe your answer lies in the JSON Field Naming Support:

Gson supports some pre-defined field naming policies to convert the standard Java field names (i.e. camel cased names starting with lower case --- "sampleFieldNameInJava") to a Json field name (i.e. sample_field_name_in_java or SampleFieldNameInJava).

See for instance the following example:

private class SomeObject {
  @SerializedName("custom_naming") private final String someField;
  private final String someOtherField;

  public SomeObject(String a, String b) {
    this.someField = a;
    this.someOtherField = b;
  }
}

So you should be able to define the field mapping to the default value like this:

@SerializedName("default")
private final String someOtherNameThanDefault;
