Generate Java objects from JSON

Question

I need to generate a Java class from a JSON response recieved from a web service. I've used JAXB to handle xml, but I don't know how to handle JSON. Does anyone know if a tool exists for this job? Thanks.

p.s.: I need to generate new classes, not convert classes.

Answer 1

Going to go ahead and say that GSON (http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/) is a lot more user friendly albeit less powerful than Jackson. If you're just getting started with this stuff I'm willing to bet that GSON will give you far less headaches and be closer to what you really want.

Jackson is a good library. Give it a try.
