Is there any way to restrict deserialization if certain conditions not full-filled? #317

1) Suppose if some field / method is deleted from the class OR changed the data 
type and are present in stored JSON format object then it should not 
deserialize it.

2) If some field/method is added then it should deserialize.

Have you considered using the versioning support in Gson? If you model changes 
in a drastic way then maybe its better to version your fields.

Thanks joel !!
yes i am trying to use it for versioning which can be backward compatible but 
should be only in case of addition of new features not in case of deleting OR 
modifying the fields. otherwise It will give unexpected results which are hard 
to catch.

Closing as WontFix. If you can explain what we should add, please post that 
here. Otherwise custom type adapters should make this easy.
