/**

* A JSONArray is an ordered sequence of values. Its external text form is a

* string wrapped in square brackets with commas separating the values. The

* internal form is an object having <code>get</code> and <code>opt</code>

* methods for accessing the values by index, and <code>put</code> methods for

* adding or replacing values. The values can be any of these types:

* <code>Boolean</code>, <code>JSONArray</code>, <code>JSONObject</code>,

* <code>Number</code>, <code>String</code>, or the

* <code>JSONObject.NULL object</code>.

* <p>

* The constructor can convert a JSON text into a Java object. The

* <code>toString</code> method converts to JSON text.

* <p>

* A <code>get</code> method returns a value if one can be found, and throws an

* exception if one cannot be found. An <code>opt</code> method returns a

* default value instead of throwing an exception, and so is useful for

* obtaining optional values.

* <p>

* The generic <code>get()</code> and <code>opt()</code> methods return an

* object which you can cast or query for type. There are also typed

* <code>get</code> and <code>opt</code> methods that do type checking and type

* coercion for you.

* <p>

* The texts produced by the <code>toString</code> methods strictly conform to

* JSON syntax rules. The constructors are more forgiving in the texts they will

* accept:

* <ul>

* <li>An extra <code>,</code>&nbsp;<small>(comma)</small> may appear just

* before the closing bracket.</li>

* <li>The <code>null</code> value will be inserted when there is <code>,</code>

* &nbsp;<small>(comma)</small> elision.</li>

* <li>Strings may be quoted with <code>'</code>&nbsp;<small>(single

* quote)</small>.</li>

* <li>Strings do not need to be quoted at all if they do not begin with a quote

* or single quote, and if they do not contain leading or trailing spaces, and

* if they do not contain any of these characters:

* <code>{ } [ ] / \ : , #</code> and if they do not look like numbers and

* if they are not the reserved words <code>true</code>, <code>false</code>, or

* <code>null</code>.</li>

* </ul>
