Actson 1.2.0 with RFC 7159 compliance

The new version of Actson 1.2.0 has just been released. Actson is a reactive JSON parser (sometimes referred to as non-blocking or asynchronous). It is event-based and can be used together with reactive libraries/tool-kits such as RxJava or Vert.x.

The update includes the following changes:

  • RFC 7159 compliance
    (tested with the JSONTestSuite)
  • Performance improvements
  • Minor bug fixes

Download the Actson binaries from http://search.maven.org or the source code from the GitHub repository. Actson is released under the MIT license.
