/**
  @file
 
  This file specifies the interface for serializing JSON values into
  binary representation, and for reading values back from the binary
  representation.
 
  The binary format is as follows:
 
  Each JSON value (scalar, object or array) has a one byte type
  identifier followed by the actual value.
 
  If the value is a JSON object, its binary representation will have a
  header that contains:
 
  - the member count
  - the size of the binary value in bytes
  - a list of pointers to each key
  - a list of pointers to each value
 
  The actual keys and values will come after the header, in the same
  order as in the header.
 
  Similarly, if the value is a JSON array, the binary representation
  will have a header with
 
  - the element count
  - the size of the binary value in bytes
  - a list of pointers to each value
 
  followed by the actual values, in the same order as in the header.
