Thanks guys, Actually my problem is still there, It looks like lift- json doesn't support scala-arrays.
case class Plan( leftOperand:Option[Action], operator:Option[String], rightOperand:Option[Action]) case class Game(buy:Map[String,Plan]) case class Action( functionName:String, symbol:String, inParams: Array[Number] , subOperand : Option[Action]) val game = new Game(Map("a"->new Plan(Some(new Action("f1","s",Array(),None)),Some("A"),Some(new Action("f1","s",Array(0,1,2),None))))) implicit val format = Serialization.formats(ShortTypeHints(List(classOf[Plan], classOf[Action], classOf[Game]))) println(Serialization.write(game)) The output is: {"jsonClass":"Game","buy":{"a":{"jsonClass":"Plan","rightOperand": {"jsonClass":"Action","symbol":"s","functionName":"f1"},"operator":"A","leftOperand": {"jsonClass":"Action","symbol":"s","functionName":"f1"}}}} which is not correct (missing the inParams field from the action class).
