 * \brief Asterisk JSON abstraction layer.
 * \since 12.0.0
 *
 * This is a very thin wrapper around the Jansson API. For more details on it,
 * see its docs at http://www.digip.org/jansson/doc/2.4/apiref.html.
 *
 * Rather than provide the multiple ways of doing things that the Jansson API
 * does, the Asterisk wrapper is always reference-stealing, and always NULL
 * safe.
 *
 * And by always, I mean that the reference is stolen even if the function
 * fails. This avoids lots of conditional logic, and also avoids having to track
 * zillions of local variables when building complex JSON objects. You can
 * instead chain \c ast_json_* calls together safely and only worry about
 * cleaning up the root object.
 *
 * In the cases where you have a need to introduce intermediate objects, just
 * wrap them with json_ref() when passing them to other \c ast_json_*()
 * functions.
 *
 * \par Thread Safety
 *
 * Jansson (as of 2.4) provides fairly weak thread safety guarantees. The
 * Asterisk wrapper improves upon that slightly. The remaining refcounting
 * problems are issues when slicing/sharing/mixing instances between JSON
 * objects and arrays, which we avoid.
 *
 * The \c ast_json_dump_* functions are thread safe for multiple concurrent
 * dumps of the same object, so long as the concurrent dumps start from the same
 * \c root object. But if an object is shared by other JSON objects/arrays, then
 * concurrent dumps of the outer objects/arrays are not thread safe. This can be
 * avoided by using ast_json_deep_copy() when sharing JSON instances between
 * objects.
 *
 * The ast_json_ref() and ast_json_unref() functions are thread safe. Since the
 * Asterisk wrapper exclusively uses the reference stealing API, Jansson won't
 * be performing many refcount modifications behind our backs. There are a few
 * exceptions.
 *
 * The first is the transitive json_decref() that occurs when \ref
 * AST_JSON_OBJECT and \ref AST_JSON_ARRAY instances are deleted. This can be
 * avoided by using ast_json_deep_copy() when sharing JSON instances between
 * objects.
 *
 * The second is when using the reference borrowing specifier in
 * ast_json_pack() (capital \c O). This can be avoided by using the reference
 * stealing specifier (lowercase \c o) and wrapping the JSON object parameter
 * with ast_json_ref() for an explicit ref-bump.
 *
 * \par Example code
 *
 * \code
 *	// Example of how to use the Asterisk JSON API
 *	static struct ast_json *foo(void) {
 *		RAII_VAR(struct ast_json *, array, NULL, ast_json_unref);
 *		RAII_VAR(struct ast_json *, obj, NULL, ast_json_unref);
 *		int i, res;
 *
 *		array = ast_json_array_create();
 *		if (!array) { return NULL; }
 *
 *		for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
 *			// NULL safety and object stealing means calls can
 *			// be chained together directly.
 *			res = ast_json_array_append(array,
 *				ast_json_integer_create(i));
 *			if (res != 0) { return NULL; }
 *		}
 *
 *		obj = ast_json_object_create();
 *		if (!obj) { return NULL; }
 *
 *		// If you already have an object reference, ast_json_ref()
 *		// can be used inline to bump the ref before passing it along
 *		// to a ref-stealing call
 *		res = ast_json_object_set(obj, "foo", ast_json_ref(array));
 *		if (!res) { return NULL; }
 *
 *		return obj;
 *	}
 * \endcode
