I wouldn't have a problem with using the GSON project, it's another community maintained, battle tested project. From your examples it should probably have a Struts Result object wrapped around it to make it easier to use, but that's beside the point.
<horse level="high" status="on"> My problem is companies that are short sighted enough to think that spending developers time to produce libraries of code that are not directly related to their core business (like a medical or insurance company building a JSON library) is going to be a good thing for their bottom line. It's not! It's going to add development and maintenance tasks to their projects that take away from developing new and better features that would enhance their core business proposition. As developers, when we are presented with a new projects we need to separate the core business aspects of the project from the purely technological aspects. We then need to do a little research to find the best fitting, most mature tool to accomplish the technical goals and champion that as the way to spend more time on the business differentiating goals of the project. Once they see they can get more features in less time for less money, they'll come around. </horse type="dead" reason="kicked"> On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 8:34 AM, Paul Zepernick < pzepern...@commercebenefitsgroup.com> wrote: > We are using the Google Gson project to handle converting our objects / > maps to json.
