A word of warning, there is plenty of google brain cancer in GWT, one of my personal favorites that elicited "wtf..."s frequently in a previous occupation:

To this day I still can't fathom why someone thought it'd be acceptable to violate conventions by providing is<Type>() methods that do not return boolean results.

In my 1 year of using GWT, I've never had to use that class. Also, you're never required to use GWT's implementation of JSON, you're free to write your own.
