Hey Vishal, I guess you're using the DataStream API? In this case, you have more control over data serialization, so it makes sense to use custom serialization logic.
IMO, flink-json (as well as flink-avro, flink-csv, etc.) is really helpful when using Table API / SQL API, because it contains the formats that can be used when defining new tables.
