Java Object Notation version 1.0.0 (alpha) released

The Java Object Notation project is pleased to announce an initial alpha release of the jon-core reading and writing services for the JON format. The JON project seeks to address the deficiencies of many available object serialization options such as table-based ORMs, tree-based XML, and binary-based serialization by introducing a graph-based format derived from JSON (http://json.org).

The first release has a reader and writer implementation which should be able to reflectively determine a format specification for most classes. Please visit http://jon.sf.net for more information on the JON format, default mapping, and usage. The 1.0.0 alpha release can be found at http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=194440.
