How to handle JsonParseException ?

[Vivek Jha]

In my code I used to directly parse json responses which I got from my server and handled different IOexceptions like Socketexception; sockettimeoutexception to show different messages to users.

But now I find that I no longer get these exceptions and instead get JSONSyntaxException in all these cases when I do gson.fromjson. Is there a way to extract the inner Ioexceptions  from this so that I can handle it the same way I used to do earlier.

I have one more doubt about the reasoning behind throwing JsonSyntaxException in case of these IOExceptions. Why can't gson have thrown JsonIOException instaed?

[Inderjeet Singh]

These should be JsonIOExceptions instead of JsonSyntaxException. Please log a bug (ideally with a testcase).

What is probably happening is that the socket errors are causing the stream to end prematurely, and Gson sees incomplete JSON and treats that as a syntax error.

Ok,

will do that.

But for now will using getCause help? Will it return the top level throwable which maybe I can cast to IOException?

[Inderjeet Singh]

I think the cause will contain the IOException, but you can debug and find out. :)

Thanks,

I am doing this currently.
