Do you really need gson?

See original GitHub issue

Hello I’m building a spring-boot application and I have more than 400 dependencies. Out of those 400 dependencies only stripe is depending on gson and spring-boot is smart enough to detect if you have a jackson dependency or gson dependency to detect which class to use so it actually works with both. I know it’s shit there’s no native json parser in Java and there might be one in Java 9 but until that happens do you think you might be able to support both jackson and gson and use it as compile-time dependency only?

My problem is that i’m trying to keep my project as small as possible. Currently I’m using jackson for JSON serialization/deserialization, but now i have two dependencies - gson and jackson. What spring boot are doing is they are implementation agnostic - and i was wondering if it would be possible to use your API with jackson as well, and not dragging the gson dependency always.

Sorry for the bump on an old issue - just tagging this against our new top-level feature request for supporting Jackson.
