What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a json string by converting a POJO that contains a UUID field, 
without converting the UUID to string.
2. Try to parse the json string using JSONParser.
3. The parser get an exception. See attached test case.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The parser should not get an exception. The value should be returned.
Instead you get an exception of the following type:
Unexpected character (c) at position 8.

Method testPass() in your class is the right way to use JSON.simple.
