toJSON on par with toString

[juan_gandhi]

I've been thinking lately... say, you are writing a pojo, and it is a good practice to have a good toString(), right? How about toJSON/fromJSON? seems like it would be a good idea to have it everywhere as well, what do you think?

I know c# is a more advanced language than Java.

We have "extension methods" in python, in scala, in javascript...

Tho Java has one thingie I crave for when programming in C#. Static imports. They have much more limited area of use than extension methods, but in the cases of applicability they just rock.
