A parser function needs to return an object: * either the JSON object from some JSON library, but that means binding the Velocity tool to a specific JSON library and I tried to avoid this for the moment until we reach an agreement regarding the JSON library to use * a wrapper for the JSON object from some JSON library to hide the JSON implementation, but that's a lot of work and I don't have time for it right now * a Java object, but for this you need a JSON-Java mapping, which is specific to the JSON library used and it requires some work to make a generic binding method > > Right now, we have to use groovy for JSON parsing.
