Jackson JSON Consumption

Jackson is a Java based JSON consumption and emission library. It is now a Codehaus project that is currently considered the fastest JSON parser for Java. I'm writing a project module at work that consumes JSON from a REST interface and populates a Java user interface in SWT. Pretty sweet stuff!
