Klaxon is a JSON parsing library for Kotlin offering object binding, streaming, low-level manipulation, and JSON path query APIs. It maps JSON documents to Kotlin data classes and back.

Use cases

  • parse into kotlin data classes
  • serialize kotlin objects to
  • stream large documents
  • query with path
  • manipulate objects on the jvm

When to choose

  • you write Kotlin and want idiomatic JSON binding to data classes
  • you need streaming parsing of large JSON documents
  • you want JSON path queries over JSON content

When to avoid

  • you need multiplatform Kotlin serialization support
  • your project is Java-only with no Kotlin
  • you need the fastest possible JSON performance
