Speed up JSON objects
According to the performance results at https://github.com/eishay/jvm-serializers/wiki, for serialization with databind with strings, e.g., gson.toJson(myObject), Gson is over 10X slower than Jackson. FastJSON beat Jackson at this same test by 2-3%.
Deserialization performance is similar, with Gson over 9x slower than Jackson, and FastJSON about 0.5% faster than Jackson.
Note: The current test results used Gson 1.6. With Gson 1.7.1, the databind performance improved 10-15% over Gson 1.6 (but the manual and manual/tree solutions showed no improvement). The results will hopefully be updated accordingly soon.
