* A JSONBuilder instance provides a value method for appending
* values to the text, and a key method for adding keys before
* values in objects. There are array and endArray
* methods that make and bound array values, and object and
* endObject methods which make and bound object values. All of
* these methods return the JSONBuilder instance, permitting a cascade style.
* For example,
*
*
* new JSONBuilder(myWriter)
* .object()
* .key("JSON")
* .value("Hello, World!")
* .endObject();
*
* which writes
*
*
* {"JSON":"Hello, World!"}
*
*
* The first method called must be array or object.
* There are no methods for adding commas or colons. JSONBuilder adds them for
* you. Objects and arrays can be nested up to 20 levels deep.
*
* This can sometimes be easier than using a JSONObject to build a string.
