So far I got to try Orange and painlessjson. Using Orange all I got was a lot of compiler errors. Painlessjson did compile normally but just ignores all interface class members.

Painlessjson indeed does not support interfaces/subclasses at the moment. There was some discussion about it here: https://github.com/BlackEdder/painlessjson/issues/8 , but we haven't really thought of a good way of doing it yet.

There is also:
http://code.dlang.org/packages/jsonizer
which I think should support at least subclasses, not sure about intefaces.

I've added support for interfaces to Orange now.
