 /**
  * A JSONObject is an unordered collection of name/value pairs. Its external
  * form is a string wrapped in curly braces with colons between the names and
  * values, and commas between the values and names. The internal form is an
  * object having <code>get</code> and <code>opt</code> methods for accessing
  * the values by name, and <code>put</code> methods for adding or replacing
  * values by name. The values can be any of these types: <code>Boolean</code>,
  * <code>JSONArray</code>, <code>JSONObject</code>, <code>Number</code>,
  * <code>String</code>, or the <code>JSONNull</code> object. A JSONObject
  * constructor can be used to convert an external form JSON text into an
  * internal form whose values can be retrieved with the <code>get</code> and
  * <code>opt</code> methods, or to convert values into a JSON text using the
  * <code>element</code> and <code>toString</code> methods. A
  * <code>get</code> method returns a value if one can be found, and throws an
  * exception if one cannot be found. An <code>opt</code> method returns a
  * default value instead of throwing an exception, and so is useful for
  * obtaining optional values.
  * <p>
  * The generic <code>get()</code> and <code>opt()</code> methods return an
  * object, which you can cast or query for type. There are also typed
  * <code>get</code> and <code>opt</code> methods that do type checking and
  * type coercion for you.
  * <p>
  * The <code>put</code> methods adds values to an object. For example,
  *
  * <pre>
  *     myString = new JSONObject().put("JSON", "Hello, World!").toString();</pre>
  *
  * produces the string <code>{"JSON": "Hello, World"}</code>.
  * <p>
  * The texts produced by the <code>toString</code> methods strictly conform to
  * the JSON syntax rules. The constructors are more forgiving in the texts they
  * will accept:
  * <ul>
  * <li>An extra <code>,</code>&nbsp;<small>(comma)</small> may appear just
  * before the closing brace.</li>
  * <li>Strings may be quoted with <code>'</code>&nbsp;<small>(single quote)</small>.</li>
  * <li>Strings do not need to be quoted at all if they do not begin with a
  * quote or single quote, and if they do not contain leading or trailing spaces,
  * and if they do not contain any of these characters:
  * <code>{ } [ ] / \ : , = ; #</code> and if they do not look like numbers and
  * if they are not the reserved words <code>true</code>, <code>false</code>,
  * or <code>null</code>.</li>
  * <li>Keys can be followed by <code>=</code> or <code>=></code> as well as
  * by <code>:</code>.</li>
  * <li>Values can be followed by <code>;</code> <small>(semicolon)</small>
  * as well as by <code>,</code> <small>(comma)</small>.</li>
  * <li>Numbers may have the <code>0-</code> <small>(octal)</small> or
  * <code>0x-</code> <small>(hex)</small> prefix.</li>
  * <li>Comments written in the slashshlash, slashstar, and hash conventions
  * will be ignored.</li>
  * </ul>
