Deprecated Methods

Method	Description
com.google.gson.Gson.excluder()	This method by accident exposes an internal Gson class; it might be removed in a future version.
com.google.gson.JsonArray.getAsCharacter()	This method is misleading, as it does not get this element as a char but rather as a string's first character.
com.google.gson.JsonElement.getAsCharacter()	This method is misleading, as it does not get this element as a char but rather as a string's first character.
com.google.gson.JsonParser.parse(JsonReader)	Use JsonParser.parseReader(JsonReader)
com.google.gson.JsonParser.parse(Reader)	Use JsonParser.parseReader(Reader)
com.google.gson.JsonParser.parse(String)	Use JsonParser.parseString(java.lang.String)
com.google.gson.JsonPrimitive.getAsCharacter()	This method is misleading, as it does not get this element as a char but rather as a string's first character.

com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken.isAssignableFrom(Type)	this implementation may be inconsistent with javac for types with wildcards.

Deprecated Constructors

Constructor	Description
com.google.gson.JsonElement()	Creating custom JsonElement subclasses is highly discouraged and can lead to undefined behavior. This constructor is only kept for backward compatibility.
com.google.gson.JsonNull()	Deprecated since Gson version 1.8, use JsonNull.INSTANCE instead.
com.google.gson.JsonParser()	No need to instantiate this class, use the static methods instead.
