Java – alternatives to Commons beautils

I am looking for an alternative to public beautils

I want a small independent alternative that will lead to no / minimal conflict

The main function I pursue is nested attribute retrieval

Thanks in advance, Steven

Solution

Although property management is not Jackson's main concern, it can be used for this article

The basic idea is that you can not only read / write JSON to POJOs, but also perform compatible transformations: including "serializing" POJOs into Java maps Because you can move back and forth between representations, you can basically get a bean introspector for free

Jackson has no external dependencies, but you need the core (streaming API, impls) and mapper jar (data binding)
