public static java.lang.String encode(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,?> map)
```
    Outputs a map as a JSON 'object' string, provided that the map values are either
    
    String
    Number
    Any object whose toString returns JSON

```
public static java.lang.String escape(java.lang.String s)
```
    Returns the given string as a properly json escaped string
  - equals
```
public static boolean equals(java.lang.String left,
                             java.lang.String right)
```
    Test whether two JSON strings are equal, e.g. the order of fields in an object is irrelevant.
    When comparing two numbers of the two JSON strings, the result is only guaranteed to be correct if (a) both are integers (without fraction and exponent) and each fits in a long, or (b) both are non-integers, fits in a double, and are syntactically identical. Examples of pairs that may not be equal: 1 and 1.0 (different types), 0.1 and 1e-1, 0.0 and 0.00.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.RuntimeException - on invalid JSON
