While it is not a big problem, it looks like an ad-hoc hack in its current form. Further, I believe its consumer's responsibility to pick the format for marshalling. Even if JSON is the way to go, we shouldn't be writing our own JsonParser class -- whose name implies a parser but which is actually a formatter -- and use a more decent library for that purpose, I believe. Anyway, not a big issue. If the rest approves the change, I can come up with a patch.
