Fastjson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. Fastjson can work with arbitrary Java objects including pre-existing objects that you do not have source-code of.

Fastjson Goals

• Provide best performance in server side and android client.
• Provide simple toJSONString() and parseObject() methods to convert Java objects to JSON and vice-versa
• Allow pre-existing unmodifiable objects to be converted to and from JSON
• Extensive support of Java Generics
• Allow custom representations for objects
• Support arbitrarily complex objects (with deep inheritance hierarchies and extensive use of generic types)
