Hey Team,

I am facing a problem accessing a records object with jsonpath. And I can see some error is happening with Jsonparser beneth.

Please find stacktrace for more info and help me with it.

The issue is in json-smart, it doesn't support Records: https://github.com/netplex/json-smart-v2/issues/78

It's probably worth trying one of the other mapping providers (JacksonMappingProvider, GsonMappingProvider, or JakartaJsonProvider) instead of the default JsonSmartMappingProvider.

@kallestenflo From the project description in the readme for json-smart, it seems like it isn't going to be actively developed. Perhaps it would be better if json path deprecates JsonSmartMappingProvider and instead defaults to one of the other ones. It also doesn't support JPMS.

Perhaps it would be better if json path deprecates JsonSmartMappingProvider and instead defaults to one of the other ones.

Is there any plans to do that ?
