21 * by RFC 4627. It is intended to fully comply with RFC 4627, with the
22 * following known exceptions and clarifications:
23 *
24 * - Null bytes (\u0000) are not allowed in strings.
25 *
26 * - Only UTF-8 encoding is supported (RFC 4627 allows for other Unicode
27 * encodings).
28 *
29 * - Names within an object must be unique (RFC 4627 says that they
30 * "should" be unique).
