Hi Jakub,
A simple workaround, but would it be possible to choose not to
serialize the "item" name for arrays?
I suppose one could configure "please don't serialize the 'item'
element just the children". JSON-based annotations would be ideal
rather than a separate configuration. I guess the problem is that
since we are currently operating at the level of the XML infoset we
loose additional semantic information that JAXB knows about. So until/
if we utilize more JAXB knowledge there are certain restrictions on
the JSON format when using JAXB beans.
Paul.
