Comment (by karsten):

 FWIW, we're using Gson in the other metrics code bases, too. That doesn't
 mean that it's the best library around, but at least we didn't run into
 major problems with it yet.

 Regarding your statement to rewrite the Onionoo client, I was wondering if
 we should make Onionoo's document classes available in metrics-lib, so
 that it's not necessary anymore to re-implement them. See #24036 for my
 thoughts on that, in particular footnote (*8) there. Not sure if this is a
 great idea, and it might not happen soon enough for your needs. But maybe
 worth thinking about for the future.
