/* This is an implementation of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as specified
 * by RFC 4627.  It is intended to fully comply with RFC 4627, with the
 * following known exceptions and clarifications:
 *
 *      - Null bytes (\u0000) are not allowed in strings.
 *
 *      - Only UTF-8 encoding is supported (RFC 4627 allows for other Unicode
 *        encodings).
 *
 *      - Names within an object must be unique (RFC 4627 says that they
 *        "should" be unique).
