What JSON library to use?

[JxBP]

So as people mentioned we should choose wisely so we dont have to go back later and refactor everything to adopt a new library and since the api's responses can be quite large parsing could drastically slow things down.

Candidates currently are:

• org.json
• gson
• Jackson (probably the fastest)

Another idea would be to let the user choose once again similar to how our caching strategies work.

Jackson is most likely the best; Letting the user choose would be extremely complicated
org.json was originally used for simplicity and because Jackson is confusing as hell, but it was always what I had "wanted to do".

I like it. We should get started as soon as possible so we can refactor minimal code.

Letting the user choose would be extremely complicated

I don't believe it would be? We would just create an abstraction over JSON objects/arrays (e.g. HypixelObject) and the parser, then provide default implementations for libraries in separate gradle subprojects

We went with org.json
