tried following code.. which was more efficient but it also crashes for more 
objects.

final Writer writer = new StringWriter();

        try
        {
            json.writeJSONString(writer);
        }
        catch ( final IOException e )
        {
            if ( QOCCompileConstants.LOGGING )
            {
                LOG.log(Level.ERROR, "IO error" + e.getMessage());
            }
        }
        return writer.toString();

Please make sure you that you allocate sufficient memory for JVM, or use the 
streaming approach (what you mentioned in the comment):
http://code.google.com/p/json-simple/wiki/EncodingExamples#Example_2-4_-_Encode_
a_JSON_array_-_Using_List_and_streaming

Please note that a StringWriter still stores JSON output in the memory. Please 
use something like FileWriter or your own writer implementation.

With respect, I don't think this is really a bug with json.simple; trying to 
create a String that's too big to fit in available memory by any means will 
cause the same problem.
