Java EE 8: JSON-B

- [Ketkee] Hi, my name is Ketkee and I have been doing Java and Java Enterprise development for the last 11 years, and I'm going to take you through the JSON Binding API course. Today, JavaScript Object Notation has become the dominant format for data exchange, works across all platforms, all languages. Previously, XML was the preferred format. But today, it is JSON all over the place. Now when it comes to Java, there are many third party libraries that work very well when trying to deal with JSON, but you would have to indicate them in your application.

But what if you get an API which comes bundled with the Enterprise Edition platform as a standard and offers you all the features that the third parties do, out of the box? Yes, that's possible, in this course we are going to talk about why do you need JSON-B, what are the features that it provides you, and then how do you plug it in in your application? We will see the default settings, the customize settings that it provides you. And at the end of the course, we will a small JAX-RS, which is a RESTful service application, and understand how JSON Binding can be used along with it.

So let's get started.
