/**
 * A builder for creating JSON payloads.
 * 

 * This builder supports the usual builder syntax made of nested method calls and closures,
 * but also some specific aspects of JSON data structures, such as list of values, etc.
 * Please make sure to have a look at the various methods provided by this builder
 * to be able to learn about the various possibilities of usage.
 * 

 * Example:
 * 

 *       def builder = new groovy.json.JsonBuilder()
 *       def root = builder.people {
 *           person {
 *               firstName 'Guillaume'
 *               lastName 'Laforge'
 *               // Named arguments are valid values for objects too
 *               address(
 *                       city: 'Paris',
 *                       country: 'France',
 *                       zip: 12345,
 *               )
 *               married true
 *               // a list of values
 *               conferences 'JavaOne', 'Gr8conf'
 *           }
 *       }
 *
 *       // creates a data structure made of maps (Json object) and lists (Json array)
 *       assert root instanceof Map
 *
 *       assert builder.toString() == '{"people":{"person":{"firstName":"Guillaume","lastName":"Laforge","address":{"city":"Paris","country":"France","zip":12345},"married":true,"conferences":["JavaOne","Gr8conf"]}}}'

     *     
  • a closure
    • 
     *     
  • a map (ie. named arguments)

     * def json = new groovy.json.JsonBuilder()
     * def result = json.person {
     *      name "Guillaume"

     *
     * assert json.toString() == '{"person":{"name":"Guillaume","age":33}}'
     * 

     *
     * If you use named arguments and a closure as last argument,
     * the key/value pairs of the map (as named arguments)
     * and the key/value pairs represented in the closure
     * will be merged together —
     * the closure properties overriding the map key/values
     * in case the same key is used.
     * 

     * def json = new groovy.json.JsonBuilder()
     * json.person(name: "Guillaume", age: 33) { town "Paris" }
     *
     * assert json.toString() == '{"person":{"name":"Guillaume","age":33,"town":"Paris"}}'
     * 

     *
     * The empty args call will create a key whose value will be an empty JSON object:
     * 

     * def json = new groovy.json.JsonBuilder()
     * json.person()
     *
     * assert json.toString() == '{"person":{}}'
     * 

     *
     * @param name the single key
     * @param args the value associated with the key
     * @return a map with a single key
