Jackson is a Streaming, Fast, Conformant, Open Source JSON processor (parser, generator, data binder).

Jackson supports all typical access methods to JSON content, including:

• Ultra-high performance streaming (incremental) parser
• Convenient Tree Model
• Fast Data binding to both basic Java List/Map/String/Boolean/Number structures but also full zero-configuration Java bean binding (or configurable binding to any POJOs) -- all with no pre-processing or bytecode injection
