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.
