 **groovy-io** consists of two main classes, a reader (`GroovyJsonReader`) and a writer (`GroovyJsonWriter`).  **groovy-io** eliminates the need for using `ObjectInputStream / ObjectOutputStream` to serialize objects and instead uses the JSON format.  There is a 3rd optional class (`JsonObject`) see 'Non-typed Usage' below.
