As a side note, there is now a shiny new release at Sourceforge. Please feel free to let me know of any other suggestions!

At least you can tell Eclipse to use a specific JRE for a project, so you can just install a 1.4 JRE and set your project to use that. Thanks, thats great news.

I have been intending for a while to fix this and make Stringtree JSON 1.4 compatible again. The "Iterable" slipped in because I typically develop on Java 5, and even though I tell Eclipse to use Java 1.4 mode when developing Stringtree, it's not smart enough to warn against the use of Java 5 APIs. Expect a 1.4 compatible version soon! Thanks for the comment. I have been intending for a while to fix this and make Stringtree JSON 1.4 compatible again.

A few issues I found, mostly related to my requirment of running on JRE 14.: - I had to remove the check for Iterable in JSONWriter and compile the JAR file for 1.4 to get it working - removing the support for iterable disables support for any collection classes, eg. I have to call ArrayList.toArray(), otherwise only the arraylist object is serialized I really wish I could use Java 5 myself, but currently it looks like I've still got to wait for a few years. It would be great if you could make Stringtree JSON compatible with 1.4 out-of-the-box. Considering the very little amount of dependency on Java 5 it should be quite easy to achieve.

None of the Stringtree JSON classes are explicitly threadsafe. They are Object-Oriented in that each object manages its own state during a sequence of internal method calls. I recommend that each thread, or each method call which might be used in a multithreaded environment construct a new JSONReader or JSONWriter object. In general this should not be a major issue, though, as they are all deliberately very light to construct. I generally recommend treating a JSONReader or JSONWriter as you would a StringBuffer or other state-managing object. However, adding explicitly threadsafe versions of the "JSON trilogy" classes is an interesting idea. I'll think about it and see if it can be done in an effective way.
