// An ObjectWriter is an interface for writing a stream of events
// representing objects and collections. Implementation of this
// interface can be used to write an object stream to an in-memory
// structure, protobufs, JSON, XML, or any other output format
// desired. The ObjectSource interface is typically used as the
// source of an object stream.
//
// See JsonObjectWriter for a sample implementation of ObjectWriter
// and its use.
//
// Derived classes could be thread-unsafe.
//
// TODO(xinb): seems like a prime candidate to apply the RAII paradigm
// and get rid the need to call EndXXX().
