Serialize a POJO to JSON with GSON

Pojo myPojo = new Pojo();

Gson gson = new Gson();
gson.toJson(myPojo);

The gson.toJson() returns a String, not a JsonObject.

If you want to get a real JsonObject better do this:

JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
JsonObject json = (JsonObject)parser.parse(new Gson().toJson(myPojo));
