Public APIs for type introspection #333

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In order to write type adapters for parameterized types, it would be very 
useful to have machinery for getting the parameter types, as in 
$Gson$Types#getCollectionElementType.  The attached patch provides just such a 
generalization that can be used by authors of type adapters.

Basically we'd have our own copy of Guice's TypeAdapter class with all of its 
type resolution methods.

I believe Guava is going to include a type introspection API in their next 
release. I recommend using that.
