How do I create a json Object using Google Gson?
The following code creates a json object which looks like {"name":"john"}
JsonObject jsonObject = new JsonObject();
jsonObject.addProperty("name", "john");
How do I create a jSon Object like this one?
{"publisher":{"name":"john"}}
JsonObject innerObject = new JsonObject();
innerObject.addProperty("name", "john");
JsonObject jsonObject = new JsonObject();
jsonObject.add("publisher", innerObject);

Just an FYI: Gson is really made for converting Java objects to/from JSON. If this is the main way you're using Gson, I think you're missing the point.
Figured it out how to do it correctly using Java Objects.
Creator creator = new Creator("John");
new Gson().toJson(creator);
Implementation of Creator java class.
public class Creator {
protected String name;
protected HashMap<String, String> publisher = new HashMap<String, String>();
public Creator(String name){
publisher.put("name", name);
}
}
