JsonObject (minimal-json 0.9.1 API)

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Iterable<JsonObject.Member>
```
public class JsonObject
extends JsonValue
implements Iterable<JsonObject.Member>
```
Represents a JSON object, i.e. an unordered set of name/value pairs, where the names are strings and the values are JSON values.
Members can be added using the add(String, ...) methods which accept instances of JsonValue, strings, primitive numbers, and boolean values. To modify certain values of an object, use the set(String, ...) methods. Please note that the add methods are faster than set as they do not search for existing members. On the other hand, the add methods do not prevent adding multiple members with the same name. Duplicate names are discouraged but not prohibited by JSON.

Members can be accessed by their name using get(String). A list of all names can be obtained from the method names(). This class also supports iterating over the members in document order using an iterator() or an enhanced for loop:
```
 for( Member member : jsonObject ) {
   String name = member.getName();
   JsonValue value = member.getValue();
   ...
 }
 
```
Even though JSON objects are unordered by definition, instances of this class preserve the order of members to allow processing in document order and to guarantee a predictable output.

Note that this class is not thread-safe. If multiple threads access a JsonObject instance concurrently, while at least one of these threads modifies the contents of this object, access to the instance must be synchronized externally. Failure to do so may lead to an inconsistent state.

This class is not supposed to be extended by clients.

  - JsonObject
```
public JsonObject()
```
    Creates a new empty JsonObject.
  - JsonObject
```
public JsonObject(JsonObject object)
```
    Creates a new JsonObject, initialized with the contents of the specified JSON object.
    
    Parameters:
    object - the JSON object to get the initial contents from, must not be null
- Method Detail
  - readFrom
```
public static JsonObject readFrom(Reader reader)
                           throws IOException
```
    Reads a JSON object from the given reader.
    Characters are read in chunks and buffered internally, therefore wrapping an existing reader in an additional BufferedReader does not improve reading performance.
    
    Parameters:
    reader - the reader to read the JSON object from
    
    Returns:
    the JSON object that has been read
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error occurs in the reader
    
    ParseException - if the input is not valid JSON
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the input does not contain a JSON object
  - readFrom
```
public static JsonObject readFrom(String string)
```
    Reads a JSON object from the given string.
    
    Parameters:
    string - the string that contains the JSON object
    
    Returns:
    the JSON object that has been read
    
    Throws:
    
    ParseException - if the input is not valid JSON
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the input does not contain a JSON object
  - unmodifiableObject
```
public static JsonObject unmodifiableObject(JsonObject object)
```
    Returns an unmodifiable JsonObject for the specified one. This method allows to provide read-only access to a JsonObject.
    The returned JsonObject is backed by the given object and reflect changes that happen to it. Attempts to modify the returned JsonObject result in an UnsupportedOperationException.
    
    Parameters:
    object - the JsonObject for which an unmodifiable JsonObject is to be returned
    
    Returns:
    an unmodifiable view of the specified JsonObject
  - add
```
public JsonObject add(String name,
             int value)
```
    Appends a new member to the end of this object, with the specified name and the JSON representation of the specified int value.
    This method does not prevent duplicate names. Calling this method with a name that already exists in the object will append another member with the same name. In order to replace existing members, use the method set(name, value) instead. However, add is much faster than set (because it does not need to search for existing members). Therefore add should be preferred when constructing new objects.
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the member to add
    value - the value of the member to add
    
    Returns:
    the object itself, to enable method chaining
  - add
```

    Appends a new member to the end of this object, with the specified name and the JSON representation of the specified long value.
    This method does not prevent duplicate names. Calling this method with a name that already exists in the object will append another member with the same name. In order to replace existing members, use the method set(name, value) instead. However, add is much faster than set (because it does not need to search for existing members).

```
    Description copied from class: JsonValue
    
    Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one according to the contract specified in Object.equals(Object).
    Two JsonValues are considered equal if and only if they represent the same JSON text. As a consequence, two given JsonObjects may be different even though they contain the same set of names with the same values, but in a different order.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class JsonValue
    
    Parameters:
    obj - the reference object with which to compare
