Re: Best Practice for JSON object recreation on client

Migrating everything is not a good idea, but you should give a try to arrays in new models or some parts of your application. We found that we frequently end up using Immutable collections and FluentIterable, and this is almost the same that using arrays and streams. As you said, migrating a whole project is too complicated, but you can just start using and progressively applying to the whole API if this actually works for you. In 3 years we past from using RequestFactory, to RestyGWT to almost plain request + jsinterop (actually autorest-gwt). Maybe using plain objects and arrays doesn't fit in your project, but you really should try.

Emm... and a bit of context; I'm try to justify that the complexity added during parsing/encoding to support collections and generics really do not worth (depends on projects) if your API use DTOs and you have streams available. In our project the DTOs classes end up as a scheme definition, defining the name and type of each property and with a minimal overhead during parsing/encoding in JRE, GWT and even Android (https://github.com/ibaca/autorest-nominatim-example/).

This makes sense for newer projects maybe.

I already have a codebase and making trampolines to convert collections and maps to arrays and don't know what is a terrifying option.

I prefer to depend on gwt-jackson (which doesn't work for me - resty-gwt works - resty-gwt is switching to gwt-jackson - eventually gwt-jackson will work for me) especially if I am using jackson already in the server,

IMHO supporting the whole collection frameworks is just an unnecessary complication. Just use plain array, not generics need, and now that stream are supported in GWT you has no excuse to use arrays. The inheritance is not solved in JsInterop for now, just try to avoid.

How about transmitting nested Collections, Map, complex inheritance and generics?

I also tried to convert back to the original object: 

@JsType(isNative=true, namespace=GLOBAL)

public class JSON {

public native static String stringify(Object obj);

public native static Object parse(String obj);

}

and then: 

//....

  Record converted = (Record) JSON.parse(json);

and it works just fine. why would we need something like gwt-jackson anymore?

By default @JsType property "isNative" is false, so your Record class is a non-native class that might get exported to JS if you use -generateJsInteropExports during compilation. If you don't use that flag the @JsType is treated as a normal class I guess.

You should use @JsType(isNative=true, namespace=GLOBAL, name="Object") so that your Record class becomes a plain JavaScript object
