Built-in support for serializing Groovy classes

[cgmol...@gmail.com]

Is it possible to add support for Groovy serialization to Genson? At the moment it throws a lot of JsonBindingExceptions due to the fact that it's trying to serialize the dynamic properties Groovy adds to all classes like metaClass, $callSiteArray etc.

Yes we could do it and register the feature with a Bundle (like for scala, joda time, etc). Are you interested in contributing it via a pull request? I am not familiar with Groovy, but could provide some help on how to solve it in Genson.

Sounds good. I would contribute if I could, but unfortunately I'm not sure I will have the time anytime soon. A possible solution is to just exclude the hardcoded property names known to be generated by Groovy, but that doesn't sound like a good solution to me. I know gson works with Groovy -- one could probably look into how they make it work.

Contributing this feature is the best way to make sure it is done :)

Most people use Genson with Java or Scala, so the next features I plan to implement during my free time are for those languages.

But if you decide to do it, then I can find the time to help you implement it. Just let me know.

Cheers,

Eugen
