spray/spray-json

spray-json is a lightweight, clean and efficient JSON implementation in Scala.

It sports the following features:

  • A simple immutable model of the JSON language elements
  • An efficient JSON PEG parser (implemented with parboiled)
  • Choice of either compact or pretty JSON-to-string printing
  • Type-class based (de)serialization of custom objects (no reflection, no intrusion)

spray-json allows you to convert between

  • String JSON documents
  • JSON Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) with base type JsValue
  • instances of arbitrary Scala types
