/**
* JSONStringer provides a quick and convenient way of producing JSON text. The
* texts produced strictly conform to JSON syntax rules. No whitespace is added,
* so the results are ready for transmission or storage. Each instance of
* JSONStringer can produce one JSON text.
*
* A JSONStringer instance provides a value method for appending
* values to the text, and a key method for adding keys before
* values in objects. There are array and endArray
* methods that make and bound array values, and object and
* endObject methods which make and bound object values. All of
* these methods return the JSONWriter instance, permitting cascade style. For
* example,
*
*
* myString = new JSONStringer().object().key("JSON").value("Hello, World!").endObject().toString();
*
*
* which produces the string
*
*
* {"JSON":"Hello, World!"}
*
*
* The first method called must be array or object.
* There are no methods for adding commas or colons. JSONStringer adds them for
* you. Objects and arrays can be nested up to 20 levels deep.
*
* This can sometimes be easier than using a JSONObject to build a string.
