+/**
+ * Writes a JSON (<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt">RFC 4627</a>)
+ * encoded value to a stream, one token at a time. The stream includes both
+ * literal values (strings, numbers, booleans and nulls) as well as the begin
+ * and end delimiters of objects and arrays.
+ *
+ * <h3>Encoding JSON</h3>
+ * To encode your data as JSON, create a new {@code JsonWriter}. Each JSON
+ * document must contain one top-level array or object. Call methods on the
+ * writer as you walk the structure's contents, nesting arrays and objects as
+ * necessary:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>To write <strong>arrays</strong>, first call {@link #beginArray()}.
+ * Write each of the array's elements with the appropriate {@link #value}
+ * methods or by nesting other arrays and objects. Finally close the array
+ * using {@link #endArray()}.
+ * <li>To write <strong>objects</strong>, first call {@link #beginObject()}.
+ * Write each of the object's properties by alternating calls to
+ * {@link #name} with the property's value. Write property values with the
+ * appropriate {@link #value} method or by nesting other objects or arrays.
+ * Finally close the object using {@link #endObject()}.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <h3>Example</h3>
+ * Suppose we'd like to encode a stream of messages such as the following: <pre> {@code
+ * [
+ * {
+ * "id": 912345678901,
+ * "text": "How do I write JSON on Android?",
+ * "geo": null,
+ * "user": {
+ * "name": "android_newb",
+ * "followers_count": 41
+ * }
+ * },
+ * {
+ * "id": 912345678902,
+ * "text": "@android_newb just use android.util.JsonWriter!",
+ * "geo": [50.454722, -104.606667],
+ * "user": {
+ * "name": "jesse",
+ * "followers_count": 2
+ * }
+ * }
+ * ]}</pre>
+ * This code encodes the above structure: <pre> {@code
+ * public void writeJsonStream(OutputStream out, List<Message> messages) throws IOException {
+ * JsonWriter writer = new JsonWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8"));
+ * writer.setIndentSpaces(4);
+ * writeMessagesArray(writer, messages);
+ * writer.close();
+ * }
+ *
+ * public void writeMessagesArray(JsonWriter writer, List<Message> messages) throws IOException {
+ * writer.beginArray();
+ * for (Message message : messages) {
+ * writeMessage(writer, message);
+ * }
+ * writer.endArray();
+ * }
+ *
+ * public void writeMessage(JsonWriter writer, Message message) throws IOException {
+ * writer.beginObject();
+ * writer.name("id").value(message.getId());
+ * writer.name("text").value(message.getText());
+ * if (message.getGeo() != null) {
+ * writer.name("geo");
+ * writeDoublesArray(writer, message.getGeo());
+ * } else {
+ * writer.name("geo").nullValue();
+ * }
+ * writer.name("user");
+ * writeUser(writer, message.getUser());
+ * writer.endObject();
+ * }
+ *
+ * public void writeUser(JsonWriter writer, User user) throws IOException {
+ * writer.beginObject();
+ * writer.name("name").value(user.getName());
+ * writer.name("followers_count").value(user.getFollowersCount());
+ * writer.endObject();
+ * }
+ *
+ * public void writeDoublesArray(JsonWriter writer, List<Double> doubles) throws IOException {
+ * writer.beginArray();
+ * for (Double value : doubles) {
+ * writer.value(value);
+ * }
+ * writer.endArray();
+ * }}</pre>
+ *

+ * Instances of this class are not thread safe. Calls that would result in a
