Jackson is a multi-purpose Java library for processing JSON data format. This project contains core low-level incremental ("streaming") parser and generator abstractions used by Jackson Data Processor. It also includes the default implementation of handler types (parser, generator) that handle JSON format. 

Jackson JSON - JSON Parser in Java

Jackson is one of best JSON parser for Java. More than that, Jackson is a suite of data-processing tools for Java (and the JVM platform), including the flagship streaming JSON parser / generator library, matching data-binding library (POJOs to and from JSON) and additional data format modules to process data encoded in Avro, BSON, CBOR, CSV, Smile, (Java) Properties, Protobuf, XML or YAML; and even the large set of data format modules to support data types of widely used data types such as Guava, Joda, PCollections and many, many more.

A Java DSL for reading JSON documents.Jayway JsonPath is a Java port of Stefan Goessner JsonPath implementation. JsonPath expressions always refer to a JSON structure in the same way as XPath expression are used in combination with an XML document. The "root member object" in JsonPath is always referred to as $ regardless if it is an object or array.

Apache Johnzon is a project providing an implementation of JsonProcessing (aka JSR-353) and a set of useful extension for this specification like an Object mapper, some JAX-RS providers and a WebSocket module provides a basic integration with Java WebSocket API (JSR-356).

Flexjson is a lightweight library for serializing Java objects into JSON. What's different about Flexjson is it's control over what gets serialized allowing both deep and shallow copies of objects.
 
Most JSON serializers mimic object serialization libraries and try to serialize the entire object graph from the object being turned into JSON. This causes problems when you want a connected object model in your server, but you can't send that object model to the client because the serialization library will try to send the entire object graph. This makes it very hard to create object oriented models and serialize pieces of that model to the client without sending everything. Other JSON libraries require you to create a lot of boiler plate code to translate your object representation into a JSON object.

Moshi is a modern JSON library for Android and Java. It makes it easy to parse JSON into Java objects. It has has built-in support for reading and writing Java’s core data types like Primitives (int, float, char...), Collections, String, Enum. Moshi uses the same streaming and binding mechanisms as Gson. If you’re a Gson user you’ll find Moshi works similarly.

Fastjson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. Fastjson can work with arbitrary Java objects including pre-existing objects that you do not have source-code of.

The main goal of Boon is to reduce the productivity delta between Java and Python/Groovy/Ruby. The idea is to just create a lower ceremony APIs. Less Java like APIs, and more getting things done quickly APIs. If reading a file takes one line of code in Ruby/Python/Groovy, then it will also in Java. If slice notation is part of those language, then Boon will have it to.
 
Boon helps to make lists, maps, and sets feel like they are part of the core language instead of APIs. This includes mimicking map literals, list literals, and set literals. Boon will have its own collection libs. Boon has a collection query language already. It is good alternative to Guava.
