VSON: Json Parser

Vson is Wrapper on Google's Gson Parser

It has:

• Gson object with pre-defined settings

• Strict Json parsing: normally Gson parses just set not-existant field to null without error, but strict parsing prevents such behaviour by falling into parsing exception when field is absent or empty

• Annotations:

  • @Optional - marks field as not nessesary required (There won't be error if field is absent)

  • @EmptyValueAllowed - allows field to be empty:

     For java.lang.String: 0-char string
     For collections (java.util.Collection): collection without elements
     For arrays: array without elements
     For rest objects: null
    

• Parser class that provides Gson via static method

Is it stable?

Not yet, but I use it in several projects.
Many classes still undocumented yet. Project currently in alpha stage.
