Remarks

Implements JSONObject#toString and JSONArray#toString. Most application developers should use those methods directly and disregard this API. For example:

JSONObject object = ...
            String json = object.toString();

Stringers only encode well-formed JSON strings. In particular: <ul> <li>The stringer must have exactly one top-level array or object. <li>Lexical scopes must be balanced: every call to #array must have a matching call to #endArray and every call to #object must have a matching call to #endObject. <li>Arrays may not contain keys (property names). <li>Objects must alternate keys (property names) and values. <li>Values are inserted with either literal #value(Object) value calls, or by nesting arrays or objects. </ul> Calls that would result in a malformed JSON string will fail with a JSONException.

This class provides no facility for pretty-printing (ie. indenting) output. To encode indented output, use JSONObject#toString(int) or JSONArray#toString(int).

Some implementations of the API support at most 20 levels of nesting. Attempts to create more than 20 levels of nesting may fail with a JSONException.

Each stringer may be used to encode a single top level value. Instances of this class are not thread safe. Although this class is nonfinal, it was not designed for inheritance and should not be subclassed. In particular, self-use by overrideable methods is not specified. See Effective Java Item 17, "Design and Document or inheritance or else prohibit it" for further information.
