/* json11
 *
 * json11 is a tiny JSON library for C++11, providing JSON parsing and serialization.
 *
 * The core object provided by the library is json11::Json. A Json object represents any JSON
 * value: null, bool, number (int or double), string (std::string), array (std::vector), or
 * object (std::map).
 *
 * Json objects act like values: they can be assigned, copied, moved, compared for equality or
 * order, etc. There are also helper methods Json::dump, to serialize a Json to a string, and
 * Json::parse (static) to parse a std::string as a Json object.
 *
 * Internally, the various types of Json object are represented by the JsonValue class
 * hierarchy.
 *
 * A note on numbers - JSON specifies the syntax of number formatting but not its semantics,
 * so some JSON implementations distinguish between integers and floating-point numbers, while
 * some don't. In json11, we choose the latter. Because some JSON implementations (namely
 * Javascript itself) treat all numbers as the same type, distinguishing the two leads
 * to JSON that will be *silently* changed by a round-trip through those implementations.
 * Dangerous! To avoid that risk, json11 stores all numbers as double internally, but also
 * provides integer helpers.
 *
 * Fortunately, double-precision IEEE754 ('double') can precisely store any integer in the
 * range +/-2^53, which includes every 'int' on most systems. (Timestamps often use int64
 * or long long to avoid the Y2038K problem; a double storing microseconds since some epoch
 * will be exact for +/- 275 years.)
