/**
 * @package Apache JSON library
 *
 * RFC8259 compliant JSON encoding and decoding library.
 *
 * https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259
 *
 * This API generates UTF-8 encoded JSON, and writes it to the
 * bucket brigade specified. All strings are verified as valid UTF-8
 * before processing, with invalid UTF-8 characters replaced.
 *
 * This API parses UTF-8 encoded JSON, and returns the result as
 * a set of structures. All JSON strings are unescaped. Any bad
 * characters or formatting will cause parsing to be terminated
 * and an error returned, along with the offset of the error.
 *
 * Whitespace may be optionally preserved or ignored as required
 * during generation and parsing.
 *
 * The ordering of object keys is preserved, allowing the decode and
 * encode process to reproduce an identical result. This maintains
 * stable behaviour during unit tests.
