Dynamically exclude certain attributes during gson serialization (Java)

Question

Is there a way to dynamically exclude certain attributes of a class during gson serialization? (Based on a parameter I pass to the writer)

Or should I make 2 different serializers?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try using transient attribute. Ex: private transient String name;

Also you can add this property

Gson gson = gsonBuilder.excludeFieldsWithModifiers(Modifier.TRANSIENT).create();

Edit: Take a look here
