The Java6 compiler error should be easy to fix, I think you just need to use this statement:

  private static final AtomicReference<JSONParserConfiguration> GLOBAL_CONFIG  = 
        new AtomicReference<JSONParserConfiguration>(null);

AtomicReference may not be a good idea. This lib is not thread-safe, per design. Adding it here may give the impression the project is moving in that direction, which it is not.

There are no unit tests for the new/changed code.

If some maps need to be parsed with keep-null, and some maps without it, how would you get that behavior?

I'm not convinced yet that this is the best approach. It may be that this problem should be fixed in user code.
