org.json:json package provides a neat set of fuctions, including XML to JSON conversion. While you can use the library in production code of a project based on Spring Boot. It works fine in Spring Boot based production code, but when it comes to the tests you should expect to see  java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.json.JSONObject.stringToValue(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object; Sping Boot starting from 1.5.4 detects this collision and shows the following message on startup: Found multiple occurrences of org.json.JSONObject on the class path: jar:file:/home/ilya/.m2/repository/com/vaadin/external/google/android-json/0.0.20131108.vaadin1/android-json-0.0.20131108.vaadin1.jar!/org/json/JSONObject.class jar:file:/home/ilya/.m2/repository/org/json/json/20170516/json-20170516.jar!/org/json/JSONObject.class You may wish to exclude one of them to ensure predictable runtime behaviour.
