ItemStack toString

Hi dev fellows, I've encountered some problem.
I need to save an itemStack into a String

But serialize return me a Map (having inside another map for enchantment for example)

Do you have some idea ?

Thanks in advance,

One solution is to use Gson. It is included in bukkit.

// Writing:
MyObject obj = blahblahblah;
Gson gson =new Gson();
String objStr = gson.toJson(obj);
save(objStr);

// Reading:
String objStr = read();
MyObject = gson.fromJson(objStr, MyObject.class);

You can modify my plugins WriterReader.java: https://github.com/andfRa/Saga/blob/master/src/org/saga/saveload/WriterReader.java if you want. You only need to change Directory enum values.

Hmm that sounds great.
I'll test it.
Thanks

EDIT : It provides strings too long but I'll test some other ways not saving the ItemStack but number, the data, and the enchantements one after the other (less long string)
