/***
 * @Nm Json
 * @Nd A fully-featured JSON API.
 * @Dd March 12 2023
 * @Xr HashMap Array Stream
 *
 * .Nm
 * is a fully-featured JSON API for C using the array and hash map
 * APIs. It can parse JSON, ans serialize an in-memory structure to
 * JSON. It build on the foundation of Array and HashMap because that's
 * all JSON really is, just arrays and maps.
 * .Nm
 * also provides a structure for encapsulating an arbitrary value and
 * identifying its type, making it easy for a strictly-typed language
 * like C to work with loosely-typed JSON data.
 * .Nm
 * is very strict and tries to adhere as closely as possible to the
 * proper definition of JSON. It will fail on syntax errors of any
 * kind, which is fine for a Matrix homeserver that can just return
 * M_BAD_JSON if anything in here fails, but this behavior may not be
 * suitable for other purposes.
 * .Pp
 * This JSON implementation focuses primarily on serialization and
 * deserialization to and from streams. It does not provide facilities
 * for handling JSON strings; it only writes JSON to output streams,
 * and reads them from input streams. Of course, you can use the
 * POSIX
 * .Xr fmemopen 3
 * and
 * .Xr open_memstream 3
 * functions if you want to deal with JSON strings, but JSON is
 * intended to be an exchange format. Data should be converted to JSON
 * right when it is leaving the program, and converted from JSON to the
 * in-memory format as soon as it is coming in.
 * .Pp
 * JSON objects are represented as hash maps consisting entirely of
 * JsonValue structures, and arrays are represented as arrays
 * consisting entirely of JsonValue structures. When generating a
 * JSON object, any attempt to stuff a value into a hash map or array
 * without first encoding it as a JsonValue will result in undefined
 * behavior.
