fun <http://java.io|java.io>.InputStream.extractSummary(): String =
    ((JsonSlurper().parse(this) as Map<String, Any>)["fields"] as Map<String, Any>)["summary"] as String

I looked around a lot, couldn't find a way to make this code block simpler. Would like to do something similar to Groovy, which allows me to call just this.fields.summary.
Any ideas?

That’s because Groovy isn’t really typed. Try to parse your InputStream as an actual model instead of just a map

JsonSlurper won't give me that option and I don't want to add a library to do that

You could add extension functions on Map and InputStream so that it becomes this.parse().getObject("fields").getString("summary")
