Add GSON support

[jaredsburrows]

The README.md says it does support GSON. Can there be an example?

Jackson, I'm afraid, not GSON. I assume this is a feature request, though.

I thought this was saying it could support gson: https://github.com/google/FreeBuilder#immutables-vs-freebuilder.

Immutables supports GSON, FreeBuilder does not.

Then I would like to request this feature.

Sure thing! Not sure when I'll be able to work on it, but it'll definitely be sooner if you would be willing to peer review the code changes -- would that be okay?

[jaredsburrows]

Yeah sure. I just came across this the other day and wanted to check it out. This might be able to support gson out of the box if you simple allow gson to parse all fields without @Expose.

I know I'm very late for this party, but is there anything preventing the support of GSON? The most I can see is if the generated builder needs parameterized types, and getting to register whatever TypeAdapter,TypeAdapterFactory, RuntimeAdapterFactory, or JsonSerializer+JsonDeserializer+InstanceCreature that would maybe need to be generated alongside the Builder with a Gson instance.

Maybe something to do with the delegation method mentioned here?
