JSON

The JSON serializer provides a common interface for serializer implementations that translate between a Component and JSON strings. This allows a library to support any underlying JSON library than an application may want to use.

The JSON serializer works similar to all others, providing the basic serialize and deserialize operations:

// Component to text
final String jsonText = JSONComponentSerializer.json().serialize(Component.text("Hello world", NamedTextColor.LIGHT_PURPLE));

// JSON string to component
final Component comp = JSONComponentSerializer.json().deserialize(jsonText);

Additionally, there is a JSONComponentSerializer.builder() available for advanced use that requires configuring legacy compatibility options.
