GsonBuilder.setLenient(false)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The gson JsonParser is final and it's #parse(JsonReader json) does this:
json.setLenient(true); 

In my unit tests I validate the output of my json rest api and I would like to 
have a parser with strict parsing. Creating my own StrictJsonReader also is not 
possible unless I put it in the com.google.gson package.

Maybe you could add a setter or constructor param for lenient or strict parsing?

Instead of using JsonParser, you can accomplish the same with the latest GSON 
(from SVN) calling this:
   JsonElement element = gson.fromJson(myStrictReader, JsonElement.class);

Would there be a way to do this using gson 1.7.1?

You can do it on 1.7.1 if you create your own TypeAdapter for GsonElement. 
Reading the source of Streams.java might make this easier.

But seriously, the code in SVN is about to be released as 2.0. Use that.

I'm using gson as provided by play! http://www.playframework.org/ so I might 
suggest them to use 2.0 for the next release.
Thanks for the hint.

I think this is a pretty good idea.
