5 * JSON data structures are defined at:
6 * [1] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7159.txt
7 * [2] http://json.org/
8 *
9 * The JSON-writer API allows one to build JSON data structures using a
10 * simple wrapper around a "struct strbuf" buffer. It is intended as a
11 * simple API to build output strings; it is not intended to be a general
12 * object model for JSON data. In particular, it does not re-order keys
13 * in an object (dictionary), it does not de-dup keys in an object, and
14 * it does not allow lookup or parsing of JSON data.
15 *
16 * All string values (both keys and string r-values) are properly quoted
17 * and escaped if they contain special characters.
18 *
19 * These routines create compact JSON data (with no unnecessary whitespace,
20 * newlines, or indenting). If you get an unexpected response, verify
21 * that you're not expecting a pretty JSON string.
22 *
23 * Both "JSON objects" (aka sets of k/v pairs) and "JSON array" can be
24 * constructed using a 'begin append* end' model.
25 *
26 * Nested objects and arrays can either be constructed bottom up (by
27 * creating sub object/arrays first and appending them to the super
28 * object/array) -or- by building them inline in one pass. This is a
29 * personal style and/or data shape choice.
30 *
31 * See t/helper/test-json-writer.c for various usage examples.
32 *
33 * LIMITATIONS:
34 * ============
35 *
36 * The JSON specification [1,2] defines string values as Unicode data
37 * and probably UTF-8 encoded. The current json-writer API does not
38 * enforce this and will write any string as received. However, it will
39 * properly quote and backslash-escape them as necessary. It is up to
40 * the caller to UTF-8 encode their strings *before* passing them to this
41 * API. This layer should not have to try to guess the encoding or locale
42 * of the given strings.
