* <p>Use this builder to construct a {@link com.google.gson.Gson} instance when you need to set configuration
* options other than the default. For {@link com.google.gson.Gson} with default configuration, it is simpler to
* use {@code new Gson()}. {@code GsonBuilder} is best used by creating it, and then invoking its
* various configuration methods, and finally calling create.</p>
*
* <p>The following is an example shows how to use the {@code GsonBuilder} to construct a Gson
* instance:
*
* <pre>
* Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
* .registerTypeAdapter(Id.class, new IdTypeAdapter())
* .enableComplexMapKeySerialization()
* .serializeNulls()
* .setDateFormat(DateFormat.LONG)
* .setFieldNamingPolicy(FieldNamingPolicy.UPPER_CAMEL_CASE)
* .setPrettyPrinting()
* .setVersion(1.0)
* .create();
* </pre></p>
*
* <p>NOTES:
* <ul>
* <li> the order of invocation of configuration methods does not matter.</li>
* <li> The default serialization of {@link java.util.Date} and its subclasses in Gson does
* not contain time-zone information. So, if you are using date/time instances,
* use {@code GsonBuilder} and its {@code setDateFormat} methods.</li>
* </ul>

* .register(Point.class, new MyPointTypeAdapter())
* .enableComplexMapKeySerialization()
* .create();
*

* {
* "(5,6)": "a",
* "(8,8)": "b"
* }
* }</pre>
*
* <h3>Maps as JSON arrays</h3>
* For this case, assume that a type adapter was NOT registered for some
* {@code Point} class, but rather the default Gson serialization is applied.
* In this case, some {@code new Point(2,3)} would serialize as {@code
* {"x":2,"y":5}}.
*
* <p>Given the assumption above, a {@code Map<Point, String>} will be
* serialize as an array of arrays (can be viewed as an entry set of pairs).
*
* <p>Below is an example of serializing complex types as JSON arrays:
* <pre> {@code
* Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
* .enableComplexMapKeySerialization()

*
* Map<Point, String> original = new LinkedHashMap<Point, String>();
* original.put(new Point(5, 6), "a");
