JEP 540: A Simple Standard JSON API Now Enters the Java Incubator
JEP 540: Simple JSON API (Now in Incubator)
I am introducing JEP 540, a new incubating API that brings simple, standard JSON parsing and generation directly to the Java Platform. This initiative eliminates the need for external libraries for basic tasks, ensuring strict RFC 8259 compliance while keeping the code readable and resilient. By integrating this capability into the JDK, we enable developers to handle ubiquitous JSON data with minimal ceremony and maximum clarity.
We often, however, just need to perform simple tasks such as extracting some data from a JSON document. The Python or Go code to accomplish such tasks is simple; the Java code should be equally simple.
