// A JSON parser. Converts strings of JSON into a Value object (see
// base/values.h).
// http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt?number=4627
//
// Known limitations/deviations from the RFC:
// - Only knows how to parse ints within the range of a signed 32 bit int and
// decimal numbers within a double.
// - Assumes input is encoded as UTF8. The spec says we should allow UTF-16
// (BE or LE) and UTF-32 (BE or LE) as well.
// - We limit nesting to 100 levels to prevent stack overflow (this is allowed
// by the RFC).
// - A Unicode FAQ ("http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html") writes a data
// stream may start with a Unicode Byte-Order-Mark (U+FEFF), i.e. the input
// UTF-8 string for the JSONReader::JsonToValue() function may start with a
// UTF-8 BOM (0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF).
// To avoid the function from mis-treating a UTF-8 BOM as an invalid
// character, the function skips a Unicode BOM at the beginning of the
// Unicode string (converted from the input UTF-8 string) before parsing it.
//
// TODO(tc): Add a parsing option to to relax object keys being wrapped in
// double quotes
// TODO(tc): Add an option to disable comment stripping
