Jerkson

Because I think you should use JSON.

Jerkson is a Scala wrapper for Jackson which brings Scala's ease-of-use to Jackson's features.

Requirements

• Scala 2.8.1 or 2.9.0-1
• Jackson 1.7.7

Setting Up Your Project

Go ahead and add Jerkson as a dependency:

Parsing JSON

importcom.codahale.jerkson.Json._// Parse JSON arrays
parse[List[Int]]("[1,2,3]") //=> List(1,2,3)// Parse JSON objects
parse[Map[String, Int]]("""{"one":1,"two":2}""") //=> Map("one"->1,"two"->2)// Parse JSON objects as case classes// (Nested/inner case classes aren't supported.)// (Parsing case classes isn't supported in the REPL.)caseclassPerson(id: Long, name: String)
parse[Person]("""{"id":1,"name":"Coda"}""") //=> Person(1,"Coda")// Parse streaming arrays of thingsfor (person <- stream[Person](inputStream)) {
println("New person: "+ person)
}

For more examples, check out the specs.

Generating JSON

// Generate JSON arrays
generate(List(1, 2, 3)) //=> [1,2,3]// Generate JSON objects
generate(Map("one"->1, "two"->"dos")) //=> {"one":1,"two":"dos"}

For more examples, check out the specs.
