Description

In ZooKeeper server we only use one class' one method from json-simple in SnapshotFormatter.

We also use it in a loggraph, which is part of contrib and not that much maintained.

I don't think it's worth to keep json-simple as it is an additional, not maintained dependency and for generating JSON we have Jackson2 in ZooKeeper anyway.
