JSON-java (org.) is a reference implementation of a JSON package in Java, providing parsers, encoders, and decoders for JSON documents. It also converts between JSON and XML, HTTP headers, Cookies, and CDL, with no external dependencies.

Use cases

• parse in java
• serialize java objects to
• convert to xml
• read from http responses
• generate documents in java
• handle cookies and http headers as

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, zero-dependency JSON library for Java
• you want a stable, spec-compliant reference implementation
• you need JSON-to-XML or JSON-to-CDL conversion
• you need a public-domain library usable in commercial projects without attribution

When to avoid

• you need high-performance streaming JSON parsing for very large documents
• you want data-binding to POJOs like Jackson provides
• you need a library with active feature development, since the project is in maintenance mode
