Converting JSON data to Java object

Question

I want to be able to access properties from a JSON string within my Java action method. The string is available by simply saying myJsonString = object.getJson()

Answer 1

Oddly, the only decent JSON processor mentioned so far has been GSON.

Here are more good choices:

• Jackson (Github) -- powerful data binding (JSON to/from POJOs), streaming (ultra fast), tree model (convenient for untyped access)
• Flex-JSON -- highly configurable serialization

EDIT (Aug/2013):

One more to consider:

• Genson -- functionality similar to Jackson, aimed to be easier to configure by developer
