Java objects support

Objects in GSON are referred as types of JsonElement:

The GSON library can convert any user-defined class objects to and from the JSON representation. The Student class is a user-defined class, and GSON can serialize any Student object to JSON.

The Student.java class is as follows:

public class Student {

private String name;

private String subject;

privateint mark;

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;

public String getSubject() {
return subject;
}

public void setSubject(String subject) {
this.subject = subject;
}

public int getMark() {
return mark;
}

public void setMark(int mark) {
this.mark = mark;
}

}

The code for JavaObjectFeaturesUse.java is as follows:

import com.google.gson.Gson;
