Jackson is a widely used open-source Java library best known for its powerful capabilities in reading and writing JSON-encoded data. In this talk, Tatu Saloranta — the creator and lead of the Jackson project — will explore Jackson's origins and evolution, provide an overview of its current features, architecture, and supported use cases, and share future plans for the project.

**Speaker:**
Tatu Saloranta is a seasoned software developer best known for his contributions to multiple open-source libraries on the Java platform. He is known as @cowtowncoder on GitHub and X/Twitter. Tatu has been programming for the past 40 years — and earning a living doing so for the past 30 (at Sun, Amazon, Salesforce, and several other companies; currently at DataStax) — but is most passionate about his work on open-source projects like Jackson, his flagship Java JSON library, Woodstox (XML), Java UUID Generator, and many others.
He lives in the greater Seattle area.

About

The Seattle Java User’s group has been meeting since the mid-90s in the Seattle and Eastside area. It is geared towards topics related to the Java Virtual Machine and languages which run on it such as Java, etc. You can find us on meetup.com/seajug.

SeaJUG is an all volunteer effort – which means items such as the website and mailing list are updated as schedules afford. We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. We need suggestions/volunteers for topics! If you’d like to donate your time/skills to the cause, please contact leadership@seajug.org
