Proposed to Drop: JEP 198: Light-Weight JSON API

This JEP [1] would be a useful addition to the platform but, in the grand scheme of things, it's not as important as the other features that Oracle is funding, or considering funding, for JDK 9. I've therefore moved it to the Proposed to Drop state. We may reconsider this JEP for JDK 10 or a later release, especially if new language features such as value types [2] and generics over primitive types (JEP 218 [3]) enable a more compact and expressive API. - Mark [1] http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/198 [2] http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/values/values-0.html [3] http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/218
