Sounds pretty good. Seems like I spend half my time typing: int n = (int) jsonNum.isNumber().doubleValue(); String s = jsonStr.isString().stringValue(); ...
Just calling a method that demarshales to the correct type would be nice. Not sure it's worth my perceived pain of switching and pinning the server impl to java, but "just calling methods" does sound pretty nice.
