How do I expose data in a JSON format through a web service using Java?

Question

Is there an easy way to return data to web service clients in JSON using java? I\'m fine with servlets, spring, etc.

Answer 1

To me, the best Java <-> JSON parser is XStream (yes, I'm really talking about json, not about xml). XStream already deals with circular dependencies and has a simple and powerful api where you could write yours drivers, converters and so on.
