Hi Bryant please disregard the information located below, unless it is relevant, it just a collection of things that I thought was relevant.

JSON Providers
Apache Wink provides a set providers that are capable of serializing a number of data models (JSONObject, JAXBElement, SyndEntry, SyndFeed) into JSON representations. The following tables list these providers.
JsonProvider
There are currently 3 Apache Wink extensions that provide JSON support. Each has unique features that may make one more suitable for your particular application.
wink-json-provider (org.json)
The wink-json-provider extension is provided in the binary distribution and uses the JSON.org classes to provide JSON support. Include the wink-json-provider-<VERSION>.jar in the classpath and the providers will automatically be registered. You will also need the org.json JAR which is provided in the ext/wink-json-provider/lib folder.
org.apache.wink.providers.json.JsonProvider
Handles reading and writing of org.json.JSONObject classes for the application/json and application/javascript media types.TBD
| Supported | Media Types | Entity |
|---|---|---|---|
Read | Yes | application/json , application/javascript | org.json.JSONObject |
Write | Yes | application/json , application/javascript | org.json.JSONObject |
org.apache.wink.providers.json.JsonArrayProvider
Handles reading and writing of org.json.JSONArray classes for the application/json and application/javascript media types.
| Supported | Media Types | Entity | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Read | Yes | application/json , application/javascript | org.json.JSONArray | No | N/A | N/A |
Write | Yes | application/json , application/javascript | JSONObject >> |
JsonJAXBProvider
org.json.JSONArray |
org.apache.wink.providers.json.JsonJAXBProvider
Handles reading and writing of JAXBElement and JAXB annotated classes for the application/json and application/javascript media types.TBD
| Supported | Media Types | Entity | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Read | No | N/A | Yes | application/json , application/javascript | JAXB object, |
Write | Yes | application/json , application/javascript | JAXB object, |
JsonSyndEntryProvider
wink-jettison-provider (org.codehaus.jettison)
The wink-jettison-provider extension is provided in the binary distribution and uses the Jettison code to provide JSON support. Include the wink-jettison-provider-<VERSION>.jar in the classpath and the providers will automatically be registered. You will also need the Jettison library JARs which are provided in the ext/wink-jettison-provider/lib folder.
By default, reading is currently disabled due to issues with the reader. You can enable it by calling setUseAsReader(boolean) on each provider and registering as a singleton in the JAX-RS Application sub-class.
org.apache.wink.providers.jettison.JettisonJAXBElementProvider
Handles reading and writing of JAXBElement classes for the application/json media type.TBD
| Supported | Media Types | Entity |
|---|---|---|---|
Read | Yes No | N application/A | JAXBElement<?>>> |
Write | Yes | application/json , application/javascript | SyndEntry>> |
JsonSyndFeedProvider
JAXBElement<?>>> |
org.apache.wink.providers.jettison.JettisonJAXBElementProvider
Handles reading and writing of JAXB annotated classes for the application/json media type.TBD
| Supported | Media Types | Entity |
|---|---|---|---|
Read | Yes No | N application/A | JAXB object |
Write | Yes | application/json , application/javascript | SyndFeed>> |
JSON Data Models
JAXB object |
Jackson JSON Processor
Jackson JSON Processor may also suit your needs and can be used. They provide their own JAX-RS entity provider. See their documentation for more informationApache Wink provides a JSON data model for producing JSON (application/json). All of the model classes are located under the com.hp.Apache Wink.common.model.json package.
