The problem lies in that JSONObject implements Map.
Maps in Groovy are automatically pretty printed without calling the default toString() method, which means that in order to get the desired output you must call toString() directly.

Dang it. I thought the same thing last night but I guess it was getting late. I thought I tried that thinking the same thing, but now I tried it again and it does print out the {}. Oh well. I appreciate the quick feedback and the comments on my blog. Stay tuned. I plan on writing about this as well. You might think about updating the documentation on json lib. I could see this getting developers like me hung up early and not give json lib another try.

When i do a simple example using the JsonGroovyBuilder and print it out, it appears it uses [] instead of {}.
For example
def b = new JsonGroovyBuilder()
def books6 = b.json {
formData = {
issues = "issues"
}
time = 5001
}
println "json $books6"
prints
json ["formData":["issues":"issues"], "time":5001]
When I expect it to print out
json {"formData":{"issues":"issues"}, "time":5001}
