     :doc "JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) generator.

This is a low-level implementation of JSON.  It only supports basic
types, arrays, Collections, and Maps.

You can extend the library to handle new types by adding methods to
the print-json multimethod.

This library does NOT attempt to preserve round-trip equality between
JSON and Clojure data types.  That is, if you write a JSON string with
this library, then read it back with clojure.contrib.json.read, you
won't necessarily get the exact same data structure.

If you want round-trip equality and/or indented output, try Dan
Larkin's clojure-json library at
http://github.com/danlarkin/clojure-json

This implementation attempts to follow the description of JSON at
<http://json.org/>.  Maps become JSON objects, all other collections
become JSON arrays.  JSON object keys are always converted to strings.
Within strings, all non-ASCII characters are hexadecimal escaped.
