I've got no particular preference of information that favors GSON vs Jackson, its just anther one of the JSON libraries we are using (and unlike Jackson is currently used in GeoTools). I do believe their capabilities are quite similar though.
Given how Spring tends to use Jackson, I don't think we're going to get away from using it. Long-term, replacing GSON usages with Jackson seems more likely.
