   I strongly prefer no extra dependencies for this. JSON libraries in particular are a world of security bugs, unmaintained code, violations of Java conventions, and overall poor design. For JSON output, writing strings is straight-forward. A library shouldn't be necessary to implement this.
   
   Possibly tests (and only tests) might want to parse the JSON, and for that a library would be helpful. Do not use Jackson. javax.json or perhaps GSON might be OK.
