  20 /* This is an implementation of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as specified
  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).
