+    Extends JSONEncoder to generate a hashable string for as many types
+    of object as possible including nested objects and objects that are
+    not normally hashable. The purpose of this class is to generate
+    unique strings that once hashed are suitable for use in memoization
+    and other cases where deep equality must be tested without storing
+    the entire object.
+
+    By default JSONEncoder supports booleans, numbers, strings, lists,
+    tuples and dictionaries. In order to support other types such as
+    sets, datetime objects and mutable objects such as pandas Dataframes
+    or numpy arrays, HashableJSON has to convert these types to
+    datastructures that can normally be represented as JSON.
+
+    Support for other object types may need to be introduced in
+    future. By default, unrecognized object types are represented by
+    their id.
+
+    One limitation of this approach is that dictionaries with composite
+    keys (e.g tuples) are not supported due to the JSON spec.
