#ifndef JSON_WRITER_H

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