Everyday JSON
A new JEP proposes a simple, incubating built-in Java API for parsing, navigating, and generating JSON for lightweight use cases where external libraries are unnecessary. The talk explains how Data-Oriented Programming shapes the API, its use cases, trade-offs, and capabilities.

JSON is ubiquitous in modern software, and many use cases are just too small to justify adding external dependencies.
To address these everyday use cases, a new JEP proposes a simple, incubating API for parsing, navigating, and generating JSON documents-both for Java developers and for the JDK itself.
While the Java ecosystem offers many libraries with JSON-processing capabilities, this built-in API is not intended to replace them, but rather to offer a low-friction option when an external library would be unnecessary or impractical.
In this talk, we will show how Data-Oriented Programming helps simplify the API, discuss its intended use cases, outline the design trade-offs, and demonstrate its capabilities.
