JAX-RS, Map to JSON without the overhead?

Question

I\'m using JAX-RS to create restful webservices in Java. I am getting to much overhead in the produced JSON.

Data class:

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessor         


        

Answer 1

"JAXB spec defines a special handling for Map when it's used as a property of a bean."

In light of that, I don't think there is much you can do (currently) except, perhaps, to write your own MessageBodyWriter (https://jsr311.dev.java.net/nonav/javadoc/javax/ws/rs/ext/MessageBodyWriter.html)
