// 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): It would be nice to give back an error string when we fail to
//   parse JSON.
// 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
