'Using 'default' as a variable

Hello I have an object that has the value "default". But I can't do it because it gives error: Identifier expected.I receive this object from a service and I cannot modify the values. https://developers.braintreepayments.com/reference/response/credit-card/node#default

private String default; or private Boolean default;

I want to do getter and setter.

Any way to solve?

It can't be solved, because it's not a problem. It's a rule. You can't use a keyword as a variable name. what do you mean by "I receive this object from a service and I cannot modify the values.". you are getting a json object, right?. Just parse it to a different variable name.

I ran into the same issue where I needed to use the 'default' and 'ref' as class members in order to create objects because the server would require this format. I got no solution to define members with these name, so I ended up creating a list that would create static strings as required (with default and ref in them) based on conditions (parameters passed while creating objects).

This is a work around to live with in case you cannot get the other side to stop using these names.
