Problem serializing arrays

[ptallett]

Loving this library! Using it loads, just awesome.

I want to serialize an array as a single string:

@JsonProperty()
@JsonElementType(Joint)
public joints: Joint[];

I want a single string, not an array of strings.

I couldn't see a way of doing this, so I had to create my own class JointArray with push/splice methods and then implement a JointArrayConverter. Works but a bit long winded.

It would be nice to be able to specify a custom converter for an array, or even just a pre-serialization method on the parent class.

Another advantage of a pre-serialization method is it could return a boolean to say whether it should be serialized or not. I have some objects in my data structure that I'd like to exclude from serialization depending on their internal state.
