Json-smart by netplex

Json-smart is a performance focused, JSON processor lib. [GettingStart Getting Start guide]

Json-smart interfaces are almost the same that json-simple, So migration from json-simple to json-smart, is very easy. Migration Guide Available

Json-smart is one of the fastest java base Json API. See bench for more details. Benchmarks

Fast (it's at least twice faster) than the original json-simple See Benchmarks
Use java Generics.
Parser permissibility is highly customisable from permissive to strict.
The json generator can generate compressed json data.
Interfaces are the same, so json-simple projects can be easily port to json-smart.
It uses maven build.
Is available on maven central net.minidev json-smart 1.3

current stable version: 1.3.1 / 2.1.0

current V2 version is available on Maven central: net.minidev json-smart 2.2

json-smart Version	1.X	2.X
interface	extanded version of json-simple	new interface
serialization	map, array, beans	map, array, beans
de-serialization	map, array	map, array, beans
speed		same as V 1.1, and faster on beans
usage	can easily replace json-simple	usage of POJO

I use this parser to process small json data stored in MySQL String records, limited to 255 chars.

In my case, every record contains simple JSon Object like: {"first":"john", "last":"Doe"} # 30 chars long

I have rewritten the generator and the parser to also support smaller json data:

{first:john,last:Doe} # 21 chars long

So, I was able to reduce the json data size by 30%

Generation of simplified json string is only supported by the full json-smart version.
