More Jackson adoption: Mule/iBeans
As per this
announcement, Mule is another major framework that has officially
adopted Jackson for its JSON processing needs ("first we take JAX-RS...
then we take ESB!"). That should be good for everyone involved. And more
work for the development, polishing and fixing things that new flow of
users brings in; as well as plenty more exposure for the project &
processor.
That should keep the project honest, relevant, and
hopefully producing diamond(s) -- without high pressure, all you'd have
would be lump of coal. :-)
On a sort of related note; the latest tally of number of contributors (individuals named on 'release-notes/CREDITS') is 50. Not too shabby -- Jackson will pretty soon bypass Woodstox in most regards (see anearlier blog entry for context); probably not by LOC, but in most other measures.
