Excellent. I was looking for something to simple to get started. Do you have the complete project for distribution? Thanks.

Thanks for this post I was able to fix my problem using your post. One question regarding this why cant we directly add the jsonView bean in the main configuration file ?

There is also GSON library,http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/ which give you more control for (de)serialization of objects (it help to tune json manipulation if you use inheritance etc.) Personally I prefer this library.

I never use json-lib so I cannot tell about it. But I used flexjson and jackson.

flexjson: AFAIK, flexjson is only a one-way java object to json string transformation. If you use flexjson, your json string will also contain information that you rarely need (e.g. you json string will contain the class name of your java object).

jackson: 2-way java object json string. So you can send a javascript object to the server and have the information in that javascript object populated to the java object. And your json string doesn’t have the class name inside How to create a json string from the browser? Just use JSON.stringify(a_js_object). Jackson is used in Spring 3.0. So I pick jackson over json-lib (I think Spring chose the best json library for them).
