[Hawkular-dev] resteasy jackson or fasterxml jackson?

[Michael Burman]

Hi,

They're basically the same software. org.fasterxml is just a newer version of Jackson. I'm surprised it's visible nearly anywhere.. resteasy-jackson2 should use org.fasterxml?

http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonRelease20

The change was done in 2012, org.codehaus stuff is from Jackson <2.0 and isn't maintained (only the 2.x is maintained). And since Wildfly ships with Jackson 2.4.1, I guess this is the version to go (and so does RESTeasy? https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-1100)

This is more for Lucas P, but wanted to put it out to the wider audience.

I'm playing with JSON stuff, and now that we are not using gson, we have to decide what jackson version we are going to use, because i just saw some oddities on stuff I'm building because of the two different impls that are available.

Are we going to use the restasy jackson2 or the fasterxml jackson artifacts? I think we need to consolidate on one (I mean, after all, we just got rid of gson - so we are trying to consolidate on one JSON impl). And they are technically two different impls because they are in two totally different Java packages and so look like two different impls. This can bite us if we aren't careful.

I'm using fasterxml right now. I don't know if i'm going down the exact same path that I did with gson (that is, using something no one else is). But my problem is I believe the resteasy modules are NOT in WildFly Core, so that's why I'm just pulling in the fasterxml artifacts directly rather than depending on the resteasy module.
