/**
 * JSON protocol for Thrift.
 *
 * This protocol provides for protocol which uses JSON as the wire-format.
 * Thrift types are represented as described below:
 *
 * 1. Every Thrift integer type is represented as a JSON number.
 *
 * 2. Thrift doubles are represented as JSON numbers. Some special values are
 *    represented as strings:
 *    a. "NaN" for not-a-number values
 *    b. "Infinity" for postive infinity
 *    c. "-Infinity" for negative infinity
 *
 * 3. Thrift string values are emitted as JSON strings, with appropriate
 *    escaping.
 *
 * 4. Thrift binary values are encoded into Base64 and emitted as JSON strings.
 *    The readBinary() method is written such that it will properly skip if
 *    called on a Thrift string (although it will decode garbage data).
 *
 * 5. Thrift structs are represented as JSON objects, with the field ID as the
 *    key, and the field value represented as a JSON object with a single
 *    key-value pair. The key is a short string identifier for that type,
 *    followed by the value. The valid type identifiers are: "tf" for bool,
 *    "i8" for byte, "i16" for 16-bit integer, "i32" for 32-bit integer, "i64"
 *    for 64-bit integer, "dbl" for double-precision loating point, "str" for
 *    string (including binary), "rec" for struct ("records"), "map" for map,
 *    "lst" for list, "set" for set.
 *
 * 6. Thrift lists and sets are represented as JSON arrays, with the first
 *    element of the JSON array being the string identifier for the Thrift
 *    element type and the second element of the JSON array being the count of
 *    the Thrift elements. The Thrift elements then follow.
 *
 * 7. Thrift maps are represented as JSON arrays, with the first two elements
 *    of the JSON array being the string identifiers for the Thrift key type
 *    and value type, followed by the count of the Thrift pairs, followed by a
 *    JSON object containing the key-value pairs. Note that JSON keys can only
 *    be strings, which means that the key type of the Thrift map should be
 *    restricted to numeric or string types -- in the case of numerics, they
 *    are serialized as strings.
 *
 * 8. Thrift messages are represented as JSON arrays, with the protocol
 *    version #, the message name, the message type, and the sequence ID as
 *    the first 4 elements.
 *
 * More discussion of the double handling is probably warranted. The aim of
 * the current implementation is to match as closely as possible the behavior
 * of Java's Double.toString(), which has no precision loss.  Implementors in
 * other languages should strive to achieve that where possible. I have not
 * yet verified whether boost:lexical_cast, which is doing that work for me in
 * C++, loses any precision, but I am leaving this as a future improvement. I
 * may try to provide a C component for this, so that other languages could
 * bind to the same underlying implementation for maximum consistency.
 *
 * Note further that JavaScript itself is not capable of representing
 * floating point infinities -- presumably when we have a JavaScript Thrift
 * client, this would mean that infinities get converted to not-a-number in
 * transmission. I don't know of any work-around for this issue.
