All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Iterable<Object>
```
public class JsonArray
extends JsonValue
implements Iterable<Object>, Serializable
```
Represents a JSON array that can be stored and loaded from Couchbase Server. If boxed return values are unboxed, the calling code needs to make sure to handle potential NullPointerExceptions. The JsonArray is backed by a List and is intended to work similar to it API wise, but to only allow to store such objects which can be represented by JSON.

- Method Detail
  - empty
```
public static JsonArray empty()
```
    Creates a empty JsonArray.
    
    Returns:
    
    a empty JsonArray.
  - create
```
public static JsonArray create()
```
    Creates a empty JsonArray.
    
    Returns:
    
    a empty JsonArray.
  - from
```
public static JsonArray from(Object... items)
```
    Creates a new JsonArray and populates it with the values supplied. If the type is not supported, a IllegalArgumentException exception is thrown.
    
    Parameters:
    
    items - the items to be stored in the JsonArray.
    
    Returns:
    
    a populated JsonArray.
  - from
```
public static JsonArray from(List<?> items)
```
    Creates a new JsonArray and populates it with the values in the supplied List. If the type of an item is not supported, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. If the list is null, a NullPointerException is thrown, but null items are supported. *Sub Maps and Lists* If possible, Maps and Lists contained in items will be converted to JsonObject and JsonArray respectively. However, same restrictions apply. Any non-convertible collection will raise a ClassCastException. If the sub-conversion raises an exception (like an IllegalArgumentException) then it is put as cause for the ClassCastException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    items - the list of items to be stored in the JsonArray.
    
    Returns:
    
    a populated JsonArray.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if at least one item is of unsupported type.
    
    NullPointerException - if the list of items is null.
  - fromJson
```
public static JsonArray fromJson(String s)
```
    Static method to create a JsonArray from a JSON String. Not to be confused with from(Object...) from(aString)} which will populate a new array with the string. The string is expected to be a valid JSON array representation (eg. starting with a '[').
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the JSON String to convert to a JsonArray.
    
    Returns:
    
    the corresponding JsonArray.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the conversion cannot be done.
  - get
```
public Object get(int index)
```
    Retrieves the value by the position in the JsonArray and does not cast it.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the index of the value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value at index.
    
    Throws:
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is negative or too large.
  - add
```
public JsonArray add(Object value)

    Returns:
    
    the JsonArray.
  - addNull
```
public JsonArray addNull()
```
    Append a null element to the JsonArray. This is equivalent to calling add(Object) with null or JsonValue.NULL.
    
    Returns:
    
    the JsonArray.
  - add
```
public JsonArray add(String value)
```
    Append an String element to the JsonArray.
    
    Parameters:

    index - the index of the value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value at index.
