  Jakarta JSON Binding (JSON-B) defines a standard binding layer for converting
  Java objects to and from JSON documents. It specifies a default mapping
  algorithm for serializing and deserializing existing Java classes to and from
  JSON, while enabling developers to customize the mapping process through a
  Java API. JSON-B 3.0 is the stable release shipped with Jakarta EE 10, with
  version 3.1 under development for Jakarta EE 12.
