How to fluently build JSON in Java?

Question

I\'m thinking of something like:

String json = new JsonBuilder()
  .add(\"key1\", \"value1\")
  .add(\"key2\", \"value2\")
  .add(\"key3\", new JsonBuilder()

It sounds like you probably want to get ahold of json-lib:

http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/

Douglas Crockford is the guy who invented JSON; his Java library is here:

http://www.json.org/java/

It sounds like the folks at json-lib picked up where Crockford left off. Both fully support JSON, both use (compatible, as far as I can tell) JSONObject, JSONArray and JSONFunction constructs.
