The fastest JSON parsing and serializing library available for Android. Based on Jackson's streaming API, LoganSquare is able to consistently outperform GSON and Jackson's Databind library by 400% or more1. By relying on compile-time annotation processing to generate code, you know that your JSON will parse and serialize faster than any other method available.
For the curious, the buildscript and apply plugin lines add the apt plugin, which is what allows us to do compile-time annotation processing. The first dependency is what tells Gradle to process your JSON annotations, and the second dependency is our tiny 19kb runtime library that interfaces with the generated code for you.
