Let's say I have class A, with a field of the same type (class A { A test; }). I need to refer to test in Json as an identifier, like {"test": 123}, which means I need a custom JsonDeserializer for A. However, registering a custom deserializer for A and then deserializing makes it call the custom deserializer for the entire root object since it's also of type A, which makes it impossible to proceed. Is there any way around this?

Managed to do it with a combination of a TypeAdapter, TypeAdapterFactory, and Gson#getDelegateAdapter.
