EMF Binding for JSON.

JSON binding for EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) models, that allows serialization and deserialization of EMF Resources in a specific JSON format.

This is how a model looks like in JSON format.

{
    "eClass" : "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EPackage",
    "name" : "model",
    "nsPrefix" : "model",
    "nsURI" : "http://www.example.org/model",
    "eClassifiers" : [
        {
            "eClass" : "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore#//EClass",
            "name" : "Library"
        }
    ]
}

How to hack (and contribute to) it

Note that you must Help > Install Jackson 2 if you clone the src to work on it, as your usual Eclipse PDE (nor Orbit) out-of-the-box target platform will not have that.
