CUJsonWriter.h

//
//  CUJsonWriter.h
//  Cornell University Game Library (CUGL)
//
//  This module provides extends the basic TextWriter to support JSON encoding.
//  It does not require that the entire file conform to JSON standards; it can
//  write a JSON string embedded in a larger text file.
//
//  By default, this module (and every module in the io package) accesses the
//  application save directory.  If you want to access another directory, you
//  will need to specify an absolute path for the file name.  Keep in mind that
//  absolute paths are very dangerous on mobile devices, because they do not
//  have proper file systems.  You should confine all files to either the asset
//  or the save directory.
//
//  This class uses our standard shared-pointer architecture.
//
//  1. The constructor does not perform any initialization; it just sets all
//     attributes to their defaults.
//
//  2. All initialization takes place via init methods, which can fail if an
//     object is initialized more than once.
//
//  3. All allocation takes place via static constructors which return a shared
//     pointer.
