Description

I personally find the combination okhttp-gson very helpful and easy to integrate with because it's frameworkless, making the dependency tree of the application so lightweight and simple to work with it.

I noticed there are some libraries that allow switching between Gson and Jackson as serialization library. However this particular library doesn't have that support.

Taking into account that many frameworks use Jackson as default serialization provider, it does make sense to explore the feasibility of adding Jackson support (or even writing a new okhttp-jackson library), what do you think?

I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
