JSON Binding

Jakarta JSON Binding (JSON-B) defines a standard binding layer for converting Java objects to and from JSON documents. It specifies a default mapping algorithm for serializing and deserializing existing Java classes to and from JSON, while enabling developers to customize the mapping process through a Java API. JSON-B 3.0 is the stable release shipped with Jakarta EE 10, with version 3.1 under development for Jakarta EE 12.

JSON Binding publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Java, JSON, JSON Binding, Jakarta EE, and Serialization.

JSON Binding’s developer surface includes documentation and 3 more developer resources.
