Thanks for all the feedback. My responses to the comments from the Rays, Thomas, John and Scott:
- We need functionality in the compiler to create JSON output to create a performance analysis tool. We are just using JSON as an exported data format, so being able to serialize a POJO isn't a big win for this application. - This library is very lightweight, that's another reason we chose it. - We can also import it directly into GWT instead of pulling in another third party dependency into the compiler. - Currently it is possible, yet awkward to share code between the dev library (compiler) and the user library. - It might be a good model for sharing across client and server, but there are some interesting design considerations. It will take care and thorough review to get that right if we are going to promote this as a replacement for the existing JSON API. -Eric. http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/696801/show -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
