GSON Installation

To use GSON in our Java application we need to include the GSON JAR file in the classpath of our Java application.

we can do so either by adding GSON as a Maven dependency to our project, or by downloading the JAR file and include it in the classpath manually.

Downloading / Configuring GSON

For Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
    <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
    <version>2.7</version>
</dependency>

For Apache Buildr

'com.google.code.gson:gson:jar:2.7'

For Apache Ivy

<dependency org="com.google.code.gson" name="gson" rev="2.7" />

For Groovy Grape

@Grapes( 
@Grab(group='com.google.code.gson', module='gson', version='2.7') 
)

Remember to insert the version of GSON you plan to use
