👉 The Jackson Project is an open-source initiative by Facebook (now Meta) focused on developing and improving the Java library for handling JSON data, known as Jackson. It aims to enhance performance, simplify JSON processing, and expand functionality to meet the evolving needs of modern web applications. Jackson provides robust serialization and deserialization capabilities, allowing developers to easily convert Java objects into JSON and vice versa. The project includes various modules for different use cases, such as Jackson DataBinder for binding JSON to Java objects and Jackson Stream for processing JSON streams efficiently. By continuously updating and refining its tools, Jackson supports a wide range of frameworks and technologies, making it a critical component for developers working with JSON in Java applications.
