* JSON encoder.
*
* This class can be used to encode Icinga Value types into JSON format and write them to an output stream.
* The supported stream types include any @c std::ostream like objects and our own @c AsyncJsonWriter, which
* allows writing JSON data to an Asio stream asynchronously. The nlohmann/json library already provides
* full support for the former stream type, while the latter is fully implemented by our own and satisfies the
* @c nlohmann::detail::output_adapter_protocol<> interface as well. Therefore, any concrete implementation of
* @c AsyncJsonWriter may be used to write the produced JSON directly to an Asio either TCP or TLS stream without
* any additional buffering other than the one used by the Asio buffered_stream<> class internally.
*
* The JSON encoder generates most of the low level JSON tokens, but it still relies on the already existing
* @c nlohmann::detail::serializer<> class to dump numbers and ASCII validated JSON strings. This means that the
* encoder doesn't perform any kind of JSON validation or escaping on its own, but simply delegates all this kind
* of work to serializer<>. However, Strings are UTF-8 validated beforehand using the @c Utility::ValidateUTF8()
* function and only the validated (copy of the original) String is passed to the serializer.
*
* The generated JSON can be either prettified or compact, depending on your needs. The prettified JSON object
* is indented with 4 spaces and grows linearly with the depth of the object tree.
