In Google Cloud Endpoints how return dynamic Json

I want return a dynamic JSON object from my endpoint, to add properties on the fly without changing any method signature.

It feels rather contrary to the design of endpoints, but I found it very useful to have endpoints that could accept or return arbitrary JSON objects. So I use a class like this in my endpoint method:

public class DataParcel {
  public Integer obj_type = -1;
  public List<String> json_objects = null;  // new ArrayList<String>();

The only complication is which JSON library to use - the JSON encoding/decoding is no longer done for you automatically.
