How to rename JSON properties (@SerializedName) using Gson APIs?
This page shows how to rename json properties when using Gson APIs. @SerializedName annotation helps you to modify the
json property names. Annotate POJO members with @SerializedName annotation with desired property name.
Note: Refer How to convert java object to json string using Gson APIs? page for dependent libraries.
Here is the sample POJO:
package com.java2novice.json.gson;
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;
public class Employee {
@SerializedName("emp_id")
private int empId;
@SerializedName("emp_name")
private String name;
private String designation;
private String department;
private int salary;
public int getEmpId() {
return empId;
}
public void setEmpId(int empId) {
this.empId = empId;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getDesignation() {
return designation;
}
public void setDesignation(String designation) {
this.designation = designation;
}
public String getDepartment() {
return department;
}
public void setDepartment(String department) {
this.department = department;
}
public int getSalary() {
return salary;
}
public void setSalary(int salary) {
this.salary = salary;
}
}

package com.java2novice.json.gson;
import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.GsonBuilder;
public class ObjectToJsonEx {
public static void main(String a[]){
Employee emp = new Employee();
emp.setEmpId(1016);
emp.setName("Nataraj G");
emp.setSalary(20000);
emp.setDesignation("Manager");
emp.setDepartment("Accounts");
Gson gsonObj = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
// converts object to json string
String jsonStr = gsonObj.toJson(emp);
System.out.println(jsonStr);
}
}

Output: |
{
"emp_id": 1016,
"emp_name": "Nataraj G",
"designation": "Manager",
"department": "Accounts",
"salary": 20000
}

What is transient variable?
Transient variables cannot be serialized. During serialization process,
transient variable states will not be serialized. State of the value will
be always defaulted after deserialization.
When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
