I think it makes sense to discuss API options first, to avoid going back
and forth.
First question being, which JSON library do we support? As we settled on
johnzon, I assume thats the one.
What's the input of the api? A resource? A value map? Something else?
What's the output? A string? A Json Object ?
What manipulation operations are supported? Filtering of properties?
Depending on what exactly the api does, we can then argue of where to
put it.
Just some thoughts.

If you're looking for someone to invoice I don't think anyone here can
help :-)
Where can I raise the issue? I don't think I have write access to the
Sling Jira.

Once registered you can definitely create issues.
And what would be the best approach? Re-activate the
org.apache.sling.commons.json package?
That package was retired for legal reasons, so it can't be reactivated.
More details are at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6536
However, it's on Maven Central, and you can deploy it to your instance
if you think it's useful and you judget that the licensing terms are
acceptable to you. However, it is not supported by us.
https://search.maven.org/search?q=a:org.apache.sling.commons.json
The approach would be to expose a new API to allows consumers to render
objects as JSON (and probably other formats) in the format used by the
DefaultGetServlet and also filter the properties that are rendered.

Thanks Daniel, John,
As the app makes high usage of dynamic JCR Node features (based
on
nt:unstructured, mixins, etc), a relatively static sling model
class
seems a bit unpractical, though a typesafe contract would be
desirable,
of course.
On the other hand, the JsonItemWriter would almost be ideal but
is
not
present in Sling 11 anymore. Actually, the entire commons.json
package
disappeared. Seemingly, this package has been replaced by Apache
Johnzon
but I cannot find anything equivalent to JsonItemWriter.
Anybody aware of its substitute?
FWIW, the rendering in the DefaultGetServlet is not accessible to
the
outside world [1]. I could imagine that we could open on the
default
renderers in ways that do not break encapsulation.
Feel free to raise an issue if that's interesting to you.
Obviously, a
PR would be even better :-)
Thanks,
Robert
Thanks,

You could also use a JsonItemWriter and write your own servlet

you want to do it that way:

Sounds like a use case for Sling Models Exporter:

https://blogs.perficient.com/2018/07/26/no-servlets-required-exporting-data-with-sling-models/
The only caveat is that it's designed for named
parameters, if
you really
need it to be completely configurable at runtime, I'd
suggest
creating a
servlet attached to a resource type that filters the
current
resources
value map and uses Jackson to convert it to a JSON.
