/**
 * Parses a JSON (<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt">RFC 4627</a>)
 * encoded string into the corresponding object. Most clients of
 * this class will use only need the {@link #JSONTokener(String) constructor}
 * and {@link #nextValue} method. Example usage: <pre>
 * String json = "{"
 *         + "  \"query\": \"Pizza\", "
 *         + "  \"locations\": [ 94043, 90210 ] "
 *         + "}";
 *
 * JSONObject object = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(json).nextValue();
 * String query = object.getString("query");
 * JSONArray locations = object.getJSONArray("locations");</pre>
 *
 * <p>For best interoperability and performance use JSON that complies with
 * RFC 4627, such as that generated by {@link JSONStringer}. For legacy reasons
 * this parser is lenient, so a successful parse does not indicate that the
 * input string was valid JSON. All of the following syntax errors will be
 * ignored:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>End of line comments starting with {@code //} or {@code #} and ending
 *       with a newline character.
 *   <li>C-style comments starting with {@code /*} and ending with
 *       {@code *}{@code /}. Such comments may not be nested.
 *   <li>Strings that are unquoted or {@code 'single quoted'}.
 *   <li>Hexadecimal integers prefixed with {@code 0x} or {@code 0X}.
 *   <li>Octal integers prefixed with {@code 0}.
 *   <li>Array elements separated by {@code ;}.
 *   <li>Unnecessary array separators. These are interpreted as if null was the
 *       omitted value.
 *   <li>Key-value pairs separated by {@code =} or {@code =>}.
 *   <li>Key-value pairs separated by {@code ;}.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Each tokener may be used to parse a single JSON string. Instances of this
 * class are not thread safe. Although this class is nonfinal, it was not
 * designed for inheritance and should not be subclassed. In particular,
 * self-use by overrideable methods is not specified. See <i>Effective Java</i>
 * Item 17, "Design and Document or inheritance or else prohibit it" for further
 * information.
