I've written a library that uses json.org to parse JSON, but it will actually create a proxy of an interface for you. The code/JAR is on code.google.com.

I don't know if it works on J2ME. Since it uses Java Reflection to create proxies, I'm thinking it won't work. Also, it's currently got a hard dependency on Google Collections which I want to remove and it's probably too heavyweight for your needs, but it allows you to interact with your JSON data in the way you're looking for:

interface Foo {
    String getName();
    int getWidth();
    int getHeight();
}

Foo myFoo = Fixjure.of(Foo.class).from(JSONSource.newJsonString("{ name : \"foo name\" }")).create();
String name = myFoo.getName(); // name now .equals("foo name");
