/**
 * Google's JSON support (see detailed package specification).
 *
 * <h2>Package Specification</h2>
 *
 * <p>
 * User-defined Partial JSON data models allow you to defined Plain Old Java Objects (POJO's) to
 * define how the library should parse/serialize JSON. Each field that should be included must have
 * an @{@link com.google.api.client.util.Key} annotation. The field can be of any visibility
 * (private, package private, protected, or public) and must not be static. By default, the field
 * name is used as the JSON key. To override this behavior, simply specify the JSON key use the
 * optional value parameter of the annotation, for example {@code @Key("name")}. Any unrecognized
 * keys from the JSON are normally simply ignored and not stored. If the ability to store unknown
 * keys is important, use {@link com.google.api.client.json.GenericJson}.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Let's take a look at a typical partial JSON-C video feed from the YouTube Data API (as specified
 * in <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_jsonc.html">YouTube
 * Developer's Guide: JSON-C / JavaScript</a>)
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre><code>
 "data":{
    "updated":"2010-01-07T19:58:42.949Z",
    "totalItems":800,
    "startIndex":1,
    "itemsPerPage":1,
    "items":[
        {"id":"hYB0mn5zh2c",

            "default":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v\u003dhYB0mn5zh2c"
         },
...
        }
    ]
 }
</code></pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * Here's one possible way to design the Java data classes for this (each class in its own Java
 * file):
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre><code>
import com.google.api.client.util.*;
import java.util.List;

  public class VideoFeed {
    &#64;Key public int itemsPerPage;
    &#64;Key public int startIndex;
    &#64;Key public int totalItems;
    &#64;Key public DateTime updated;
    &#64;Key public List&lt;Video&gt; items;
  }

  public class Video {
    &#64;Key public String id;
    &#64;Key public String title;
    &#64;Key public DateTime updated;
    &#64;Key public String description;
    &#64;Key public List&lt;String&gt; tags;
    &#64;Key public Player player;
  }

  public class Player {
    // "default" is a Java keyword, so need to specify the JSON key manually
    &#64;Key("default")
    public String defaultUrl;
  }
</code></pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * You can also use the @{@link com.google.api.client.util.Key} annotation to defined query
 * parameters for a URL. For example:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre><code>
public class YouTubeUrl extends GoogleUrl {

  &#64;Key
  public String author;

  &#64;Key("max-results")
  public Integer maxResults;

  public YouTubeUrl(String encodedUrl) {
    super(encodedUrl);
    this.alt = "jsonc";
  }
</code></pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * To work with the YouTube API, you first need to set up the
 * {@link com.google.api.client.http.HttpTransport}. For example:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre><code>
  private static HttpTransport setUpTransport() throws IOException {
    HttpTransport result = new NetHttpTransport();
    GoogleUtils.useMethodOverride(result);
    HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
    headers.setApplicationName("Google-YouTubeSample/1.0");
    headers.gdataVersion = "2";
    JsonCParser parser = new JsonCParser();
    parser.jsonFactory = new JacksonFactory();
    transport.addParser(parser);
    // insert authentication code...
    return transport;
  }
</code></pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * Now that we have a transport, we can execute a request to the YouTube API and parse the result:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre><code>
  public static VideoFeed list(HttpTransport transport, YouTubeUrl url)
      throws IOException {
    HttpRequest request = transport.buildGetRequest();
    request.url = url;
    return request.execute().parseAs(VideoFeed.class);
  }
</code></pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * If the server responds with an error the {@link com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest#execute}
 * method will throw an {@link com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponseException}, which has an
 * {@link com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponse} field which can be parsed the same way as a
 * success response inside of a catch block. For example:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre><code>
    try {
...
    } catch (HttpResponseException e) {
      if (e.response.getParser() != null) {
        Error error = e.response.parseAs(Error.class);
        // process error response
      } else {
        String errorContentString = e.response.parseAsString();
        // process error response as string
      }
      throw e;
    }
</code></pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * NOTE: As you might guess, the library uses reflection to populate the user-defined data model.
 * It's not quite as fast as writing the wire format parsing code yourself can potentially be, but
 * it's a lot easier.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * NOTE: If you prefer to use your favorite JSON parsing library instead (there are many of them
 * listed for example on <a href="http://json.org">json.org</a>), that's supported as well. Just
 * call {@link com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest#execute()} and parse the returned byte stream.
 * </p>
