You also have Genson.

Its main advantages are ease of use, easily extensible and customizable, performance and nice features.

Some of its features are :

handling polymorphic types
ability to do things with and without annotations
deserialize to pojos even if they don't provide a default constructor (and really pass the values not just null) without any additional code
out of the box integration with Jersey (0 code)
