(01) What it does
Oskuvi JSON from Classes writes a sample JSON for a Java class: a value for every field, by its type. For a request body in a test, an example in the documentation, or a first message to try an endpoint with.
Right-click a class in the editor or the Project view and choose JSON Sample of This Class…. The JSON appears with a Copy button. Lists, maps and nested classes are written out, type parameters are filled in from where the class is used, and the names Jackson and Gson would use are honoured.
The plugin only reads your code, on your machine. It doesn't run your code and doesn't need Jackson or Gson in the project.

(04)FAQ
Questions, answered.
What does it cost?
Nothing for the first 7 days: that's the free trial. After that it needs a licence. The price is on the plugin's page on JetBrains Marketplace.
Does it follow custom serializers or naming strategies?
Not in this version. It reads the annotations named above and the field types; naming strategies set elsewhere, custom serializers and getters without a field aren't followed.
What happens with a class that contains itself?
The sample ends: where the class comes round again it says null, and tells you.
