/**
 * Tag interface for DTOs that are serialized to compact
 * (non human readable) JSON.
 * <p/>
 * <p>Compact JSON has array as a root element. As a consequence GSON library
 * throws an exception when you try do deserialize JSON containing compact
 * object as a root. Deserialize using {@link com.google.gson.JsonElement} in
 * such cases.
 * <p/>
 * <p>Note: try to eliminate enums and boolean fields in DTO to get better
 * serialized form density.
