Jackson is "the Java JSON library" or "the best JSON parser for Java". Or simply as "JSON for Java".

Jackson also allows you to parse or generate XML messages with the Jackson Dataformat XML Extension.

Jackson Dataformat XML Source Code files are provided in the source packge (jackson-dataformat-xml-2.12.4-sources.jar). You can download it at Jackson Maven Website.
