28 @file
29
30 This file specifies the interface for serializing JSON values into
31 binary representation, and for reading values back from the binary
32 representation.
33
34 The binary format is as follows:
35
36 Each JSON value (scalar, object or array) has a one byte type
37 identifier followed by the actual value.
38
39 If the value is a JSON object, its binary representation will have a
40 header that contains:
41
42 - the member count
43 - the size of the binary value in bytes
44 - a list of pointers to each key
45 - a list of pointers to each value
46
47 The actual keys and values will come after the header, in the same
48 order as in the header.
49
50 Similarly, if the value is a JSON array, the binary representation
51 will have a header with
52
53 - the element count
54 - the size of the binary value in bytes
55 - a list of pointers to each value
56
57 followed by the actual values, in the same order as in the header.
