is there a way to parse JSON in a simple way without pulling in gson/jackson or other libs?

Try klaxon, it's pure kotlin (I think)

that's a lib as well, right?

Ahh well.. Then you could still look at it, after all its json parsing in kotlin, there gotta be something to learn

parsing json isn't trivial, so you'll probably want to use a library

Groovy has something build-in: http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/gapi/groovy/json/JsonSlurper.html

moshi is nice and simple. it’s tiny as well.

if it's gradle task I would stick to groovy like @carkral said

thank you 🙂
