Thanks for making the initial updates @thomews.

On a general review, I'm not sure that this is an optimal candidate for inclusion in the project. The properties provide a large number of configuration options on one hand, which can be helpful, but also highlight the complex nature of the implementation. There are also a number of opinionated selections in the implementation, such as field names and JSON formatting. These may be optimal for a number of use cases, but they also highlight the challenge of supporting a generic capability.

There are other issues, like the use of the Jakarta JSON API, versus Jackson, and other more minor implementation concerns.
