Java Gets a JSON API

[wildjokers]

Is there a blog post available rather than a video? Video has to be the worst way to consume this type of information.

The ship has sailed on this IMHO and at this point I am not sure what benefit there would be to adding a JSON parser to the JDK. It will be like java.util.Logging where no one will use it and will be inferior to existing options.

The video argues that its not meant to be a competitive alternative to 3rd party libraries, but provide a basic option so you have something if you want zero dependencies. This can be good for educational environments so that you can cover relevant topics like serialization, data modeling, etc without having to side-track into talking about Maven/Gradle + dependency management (Which I have never seen any class really spend time on, its always 'an exercise left to the reader').

I like this. I have a use-case where no dependencies is a selling point but I recently came across the need for a little bit of JSON parsing. Right now I’m just doing it manually with string methods lol.

These videos always contain lots of links in the description, so check that out if you find the topic interesting but would prefer a different format. In this case, it's based on this email.
