Description

Camel currently allows marshaling with JSON using XStream. Attached is a complementary alternative using Jacskon (http://jackson.codehaus.org/). It offers a similar feature set, but would help those already using the library (such as already having Jackson/JAXB annotated classes). The implementation uses the (marginally) slower object mapper rather than the streaming API (to use that a Processor might be more appropriate as you need full control over the class to serialise).

See http://www.nabble.com/JSON-DataFormat-using-Jackson-td23802406.html

Due to the fact there is already a "json" node in the DSL there needs to be a way to choose which impl to use. Proposals so far are:

• Add a new method .marhsal.jackson() – a little confusing as users may not know what jackson is
• Add an enum to choose e.g .marshal.json(JsonTypes.JACKSON) – would need to choose a default impl
