Gson: JsonSyntaxException on date

Question

I am trying to use Gson to deserialize a json array, but am currently getting a JsonSyntaxException. The json string was created by a .NET MVC3 web service using JsonResult

Answer 1

Serialize and Deserialize methoda. Register this as a Adapter for GSON

JsonSerializer ser = new JsonSerializer() {
@Override
public JsonElement serialize(Date src, Type typeOfSrc, JsonSerializationContext 
         context) {
return src == null ? null : new JsonPrimitive(src.getTime());
}
};

JsonDeserializer deser = new JsonDeserializer() {
 @Override
 public Date deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT,
   JsonDeserializationContext context) throws JsonParseException {
return json == null ? null : new Date(json.getAsLong());
 }
 };

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
.registerTypeAdapter(Date.class, ser)
.registerTypeAdapter(Date.class, deser).create();
