Just an FYI: Gson is really made for converting Java objects to/from JSON. If this is the main way you're using Gson, I think you're missing the point.

Answer 2

Figured it out how to do it correctly using Java Objects.

Creator creator = new Creator("John"); new Gson().toJson(creator); 

Implementation of Creator java class.

public class Creator {      protected String name;      protected HashMap<String, String> publisher = new HashMap<String, String>();      public Creator(String name){             publisher.put("name", name);     } }
