 * public class GsonDecoder implements Decoder {

 *
 *   @Override
 *   public Object decode(Response response, Type type) throws IOException {

Implementation Note

The {@code type} parameter will correspond to the * {@link java.lang.reflect.Method#getGenericReturnType() generic return type} of an * {@link feign.Target#type() interface} processed by {@link feign.Feign#newInstance(feign.Target)}. * When writing your implementation of Decoder, ensure you also test parameterized types such as * {@code * List}.
*

Note on exception propagation
