Jackson, compliments du jour, en francaise
I wish my french skills were little bit more refined (6 months of suggestopedic teaching, 2 hours per week apparently is not enough to get more than general idea of text :) ). But from what I gather, Android pour l’entreprise – 6 – Oubliez Gson, Jackson rocks my world! seems to have generally positive outlook on Jackson for JSON processing on Android platform (oubliez meaning "forget"... it's good that cognac ratings help my language skills here!). And apparently much of this is due to Android VM (Dalvik) being somewhat sensitive to GC-induced stress; so Jackson's focus on efficiency (not just speed, but focus on simplicity of code, trying to avoid extraneous intermediate storage and code) really pays off.
It is great that a library can be versatile enough to perform well on wide set of platforms; and it is absolutely marvellous that there are users who put Jackson to good use, and let others know what works and what doesn't.
Anyway, thought I'll share this; Android developers in practicular might find this interesting. Also: author of the article has suggested couple of good improvements to Jackson, too, to make things work even better in future.
