What is GSON?

Gson is a Java library developed by Google that is used to serialize Java objects to JSON and to deserialize JSON string to Java objects. It allows developers to easily convert Java objects into their JSON representation and vice versa, simplifying the process of working with JSON data in Java applications. It's commonly used in web services, data storage, and configuration file handling.
