 * \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/2.11/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 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
