google/gson

Gson is a Java library for serializing and deserializing Java objects to and from JSON. It provides a comprehensive API for handling standard types, collections, and complex scenarios like polymorphism, post-deserialization hooks, and streaming. The system supports modern Java features such as Records and JPMS, offers extensibility through custom type adapters and interceptors, and includes utilities for Protocol Buffers and code shrinking compatibility.

This period focused on expanding Gson's customization capabilities through new annotations and reflection controls, while simultaneously modernizing the build system and removing legacy JavaCC parser code. The team also significantly improved test coverage and added ProGuard rules to ensure compatibility with code shrinking tools.
