/**
* Configures Gson for custom serialization or deserialization. This method combines the
* registration of an {@link TypeAdapter}, {@link InstanceCreator}, {@link JsonSerializer}, and a
* {@link JsonDeserializer}. It is best used when a single object {@code typeAdapter} implements
* all the required interfaces for custom serialization with Gson. If a type adapter was
* previously registered for the specified {@code type}, it is overwritten.
*
* <p>This registers the type specified and no other types: you must manually register related
* types! For example, applications registering {@code boolean.class} should also register {@code
* Boolean.class}.
*
* @param type the type definition for the type adapter being registered
* @param typeAdapter This object must implement at least one of the {@link TypeAdapter}, {@link
* InstanceCreator}, {@link JsonSerializer}, and a {@link JsonDeserializer} interfaces.
* @return a reference to this {@code GsonBuilder} object to fulfill the "Builder" pattern
