// Package json implements encoding and decoding of JSON objects as defined in
// RFC 4627. The mapping between JSON objects and Go values is described

// Marshal returns the JSON encoding of v.
//
// Marshal traverses the value v recursively.
// If an encountered value implements the Marshaler interface
// and is not a nil pointer, Marshal calls its MarshalJSON method
// to produce JSON. If no MarshalJSON method is present but the
// value implements encoding.TextMarshaler instead, Marshal calls
// its MarshalText method.
// The nil pointer exception is not strictly necessary
// but mimics a similar, necessary exception in the behavior of
// UnmarshalJSON.
//
// Otherwise, Marshal uses the following type-dependent default encodings:
//
// Boolean values encode as JSON booleans.
//
// Floating point, integer, and Number values encode as JSON numbers.
//
// String values encode as JSON strings coerced to valid UTF-8,
// replacing invalid bytes with the Unicode replacement rune.
// The angle brackets "<" and ">" are escaped to "\u003c" and "\u003e"
// to keep some browsers from misinterpreting JSON output as HTML.
// Ampersand "&" is also escaped to "\u0026" for the same reason.
//
// Array and slice values encode as JSON arrays, except that
// []byte encodes as a base64-encoded string, and a nil slice
// encodes as the null JSON object.
//
// Struct values encode as JSON objects. Each exported struct field
// becomes a member of the object unless
//   - the field's tag is "-", or
//   - the field is empty and its tag specifies the "omitempty" option.
// The empty values are false, 0, any
// nil pointer or interface value, and any array, slice, map, or string of
// length zero. The object's default key string is the struct field name
// but can be specified in the struct field's tag value. The "json" key in
// the struct field's tag value is the key name, followed by an optional comma
// and options. Examples:
//
//   // Field is ignored by this package.
//   Field int `json:"-"`
//
//   // Field appears in JSON as key "myName".
//   Field int `json:"myName"`
//
//   // Field appears in JSON as key "myName" and
//   // the field is omitted from the object if its value is empty,
//   // as defined above.
//   Field int `json:"myName,omitempty"`
//
//   // Field appears in JSON as key "Field" (the default), but
//   // the field is skipped if empty.
//   // Note the leading comma.
//   Field int `json:",omitempty"`
//
// The "string" option signals that a field is stored as JSON inside a
// JSON-encoded string. It applies only to fields of string, floating point,
// integer, or boolean types. This extra level of encoding is sometimes used
// when communicating with JavaScript programs:
//
//    Int64String int64 `json:",string"`
//
// The key name will be used if it's a non-empty string consisting of
// only Unicode letters, digits, dollar signs, percent signs, hyphens,
// underscores and slashes.
//
// Anonymous struct fields are usually marshaled as if their inner exported fields
// were fields in the outer struct, subject to the usual Go visibility rules amended
// as described in the next paragraph.
// An anonymous struct field with a name given in its JSON tag is treated as
// having that name, rather than being anonymous.
// An anonymous struct field of interface type is treated the same as having
// that type as its name, rather than being anonymous.
//
// The Go visibility rules for struct fields are amended for JSON when
// deciding which field to marshal or unmarshal. If there are
// multiple fields at the same level, and that level is the least
// nested (and would therefore be the nesting level selected by the
// usual Go rules), the following extra rules apply:
//
// 1) Of those fields, if any are JSON-tagged, only tagged fields are considered,
// even if there are multiple untagged fields that would otherwise conflict.
// 2) If there is exactly one field (tagged or not according to the first rule), that is selected.
// 3) Otherwise there are multiple fields, and all are ignored; no error occurs.
//
// Handling of anonymous struct fields is new in Go 1.1.
// Prior to Go 1.1, anonymous struct fields were ignored. To force ignoring of
// an anonymous struct field in both current and earlier versions, give the field
// a JSON tag of "-".
//
// Map values encode as JSON objects.
// The map's key type must be string; the map keys are used as JSON object
// keys, subject to the UTF-8 coercion described for string values above.
//
// Pointer values encode as the value pointed to.
// A nil pointer encodes as the null JSON object.
//
// Interface values encode as the value contained in the interface.
// A nil interface value encodes as the null JSON object.
//
// Channel, complex, and function values cannot be encoded in JSON.
// Attempting to encode such a value causes Marshal to return
// an UnsupportedTypeError.
//
// JSON cannot represent cyclic data structures and Marshal does not
// handle them.  Passing cyclic structures to Marshal will result in
// an infinite recursion.
