Should be simple question.
When I go to https://github.com/google/gson I can only download the library as a zip folder as opposed to a jar file.
Where can I get the jar file?
Gson jar downloads are available from Maven Central.
Google's Gson library provides a powerful framework for converting between JSON strings and Java objects. This library helps to avoid needing to write boilerplate code to parse JSON responses yourself. It can be used with any networking library, including the Android Async HTTP Client and OkHttp.
First you need to clone the repository locally on your computer:
git clone https://github.com/google/gson
Then you go inside the project folder ./gson and you create the jar file running:
mvn package
Of course to do this you need to have maven installed, if you are under osx you can install it running
brew install maven
Otherwise you can look for the installation for your system on the maven official website
After running mvn package the jar file will be in ./gson/gson/target/gson-2.7.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
There is a MVN Repo http://mvnrepository.com/ there you will find how to add to a maven OR in your case how to download the lib jars
I just downloaded it here:
https://jar-download.com/explore-java-source-code.php?a=gson&g=com.google.code.gson&v=2.7&downloadable=1
Is working for me.
am bit late but for anyone in future, https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.code.gson/gson/2.8.0
ofcourse if its vresion changes you can figure it out from the base url.
