/**
\class TBufferJSON
\ingroup IO
 
Class for serializing object to and from JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.
It creates such object representation, which can be directly
used in JavaScript ROOT (JSROOT) for drawing.
 
TBufferJSON implements TBuffer interface, therefore most of
ROOT and user classes can be converted into JSON.
There are certain limitations for classes with custom streamers,
which should be equipped specially for this purposes (see TCanvas::Streamer()
as example).
 
To perform conversion into JSON, one should use TBufferJSON::ToJSON method:
~~~{.cpp}
   TH1 *h1 = new TH1I("h1", "title", 100, 0, 10);
   h1->FillRandom("gaus",10000);
   TString json = TBufferJSON::ToJSON(h1);
~~~
 
To reconstruct object from the JSON string, one should do:
~~~{.cpp}
   TH1 *hnew = nullptr;
   TBufferJSON::FromJSON(hnew, json);
   if (hnew) hnew->Draw("hist");
~~~
JSON does not include stored class version, therefore schema evolution
(reading of older class versions) is not supported. JSON should not be used as
persistent storage for object data - only for live applications.
 
All STL containers by default converted into JSON Array. Vector of integers:
~~~{.cpp}
   std::vector<int> vect = {1,4,7};
   auto json = TBufferJSON::ToJSON(&vect);
~~~
Will produce JSON code "[1, 4, 7]".
 
There are special handling for map classes like `map` and `multimap`.
They will create Array of pair objects with "first" and "second" as data members. Code:
~~~{.cpp}
   std::map<int,string> m;
   m[1] = "number 1";
   m[2] = "number 2";
   auto json = TBufferJSON::ToJSON(&m);
~~~
Will generate json string:
~~~{.json}
[
  {"$pair" : "pair<int,string>", "first" : 1, "second" : "number 1"},
  {"$pair" : "pair<int,string>", "first" : 2, "second" : "number 2"}
]
~~~
In special cases map container can be converted into JSON object. For that key parameter
must be `std::string` and compact parameter should be 5.
Like in example:
~~~{.cpp}
std::map<std::string,int> data;
data["name1"] = 11;
data["name2"] = 22;
 
auto json = TBufferJSON::ToJSON(&data, TBufferJSON::kMapAsObject);
~~~
Will produce JSON output:
~~~
{
  "_typename": "map<string,int>",
  "name1": 11,
  "name2": 22
}
~~~
Another possibility to enforce such conversion - add "JSON_object" into comment line of correspondent
data member like:
~~~{.cpp}
class Container {
   std::map<std::string,int> data;  ///<  JSON_object
};
~~~
