Answer by Perception for Best way to map json to a Java object

Personally I would recommend Jackson. Its fairly lightweight, very fast and requires very little configuration. Here's an example of deserializing:

@XmlRootElementpublic class MyBean {    private String id;    private String name;    public MyBean() {        super();    }    // Getters/Setters}String json = "...";MyBean bean = new ObjectMapper().readValue(json, MyBean.class);
