Java JSON Libraries

What are the main advantages of Jackson over Moshi in enterprise Java?

Jackson offers significant advantages for enterprise Java applications. It provides extensive customization through modules: jackson-datatype-jsr310 for Java 8 dates, jackson-module-parameter-names for parameter name detection, and jackson-datatype-hibernate for JPA entities. Jackson supports multiple formats beyond JSON: XML, YAML, CSV, and Avro through unified APIs. Polymorphic type handling is more powerful with @JsonTypeInfo annotations. The library has superior performance for large-scale data processing common in enterprise systems. Jackson integrates seamlessly with Spring Boot and other Java EE frameworks with zero configuration. Streaming APIs handle massive datasets efficiently. Tree model provides flexible runtime JSON manipulation. Enterprise features include mix-ins for adding annotations without modifying classes. Jackson has mature ecosystem with extensive documentation and community support. Use our JSON Formatter at jsonconsole.com/json-formatter for testing complex enterprise JSON structures. While more complex than Moshi, Jackson's power suits enterprise needs perfectly.
