/**
* {@code JsonArray} represents an immutable JSON array
* (an ordered sequence of zero or more values).
* It also provides an unmodifiable list view of the values in the array.
*
* A {@code JsonArray} object can be created by reading JSON data from
* an input source or it can be built from scratch using an array builder
* object.
*
*
The following example demonstrates how to create a {@code JsonArray}
* object from an input source using the method {@link JsonReader#readArray()}:
*
* JsonReader jsonReader = Json.createReader(...);
* JsonArray array = jsonReader.readArray();
* jsonReader.close();
*
*
* The following example demonstrates how to build an empty JSON array
* using the class {@link JsonArrayBuilder}:
*
* JsonArray array = Json.createArrayBuilder().build();
*
*
* The example code below demonstrates how to create the following JSON array:
*
* [
* { "type": "home", "number": "212 555-1234" },
* { "type": "fax", "number": "646 555-4567" }
* ]
*
*
* JsonArray value = Json.createArrayBuilder()
* .add(Json.createObjectBuilder()
* .add("type", "home")
* .add("number", "212 555-1234"))
* .add(Json.createObjectBuilder()
* .add("type", "fax")
* .add("number", "646 555-4567"))
* .build();
*
*
* The following example demonstrates how to write a {@code JsonArray} object
* as JSON data:
*
* JsonArray arr = ...;
* JsonWriter writer = Json.createWriter(...)
* writer.writeArray(arr);
* writer.close();
*
*
* The values in a {@code JsonArray} can be of the following types:
* {@link JsonObject}, {@link JsonArray},
* {@link JsonString}, {@link JsonNumber}, {@link JsonValue#TRUE},
* {@link JsonValue#FALSE}, and {@link JsonValue#NULL}.
* {@code JsonArray} provides various accessor methods to access the values
* in an array.
*
*
The following example shows how to obtain the home phone number
* "212 555-1234" from the array built in the previous example:
*
* JsonObject home = array.getJsonObject(0);
* String number = home.getString("number");
*
*
* {@code JsonArray} instances are list objects that provide read-only
* access to the values in the JSON array. Any attempt to modify the list,
* whether directly or using its collection views, results in an
* {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
