Deserializing error

[brystel]

Hello,

In case when the markup parameter is optional there could be happen deserializing error:

  Caused by: com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: BEGIN_OBJECT expected, but met STRING
    Scopes: INSIDE_OBJECT>NAME>INSIDE_EMBEDDED_ARRAY>INSIDE_OBJECT
    Closed tags: 'programme'/2>'previously-shown'/3
    Token: null
    Tokens queue: null
    Values queue: , null

The markup might look like:

<previously-shown start="20080306000000" />

or

<previously-shown  />

My container class looks like:

public class PreviouslyShown {

    @SerializedName("@start")
    Date start;
}

Is it bug or there is any option to deserialize this markup?

Sorry for keeping silence so long. Could you make a test illustrating the issue. You can find example here https://github.com/stanfy/gson-xml/tree/master/src/test/java/com/stanfy/gsonxml/issues
