**JSONObject.java**: The `JSONObject` can parse text from a `String` or a `JSONTokener`
to produce a map-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating its
contents, and for producing a JSON compliant object serialization.
**JSONArray.java**: The `JSONArray` can parse text from a String or a `JSONTokener`
to produce a vector-like object. The object provides methods for manipulating
its contents, and for producing a JSON compliant array serialization.
**JSONTokener.java**: The `JSONTokener` breaks a text into a sequence of individual
tokens. It can be constructed from a `String`, `Reader`, or `InputStream`. It also can
parse text from a `String`, `Number`, `Boolean` or `null` like `"hello"`, `42`, `true`,
`null` to produce a simple json object.
**JSONException.java**: The `JSONException` is the standard exception type thrown
by this package.
**JSONPointer.java**: Implementation of
[JSON Pointer (RFC 6901)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901). Supports
JSON Pointers both in the form of string representation and URI fragment
representation.
**JSONPropertyIgnore.java**: Annotation class that can be used on Java Bean getter methods.
When used on a bean method that would normally be serialized into a `JSONObject`, it
overrides the getter-to-key-name logic and forces the property to be excluded from the
resulting `JSONObject`.
**JSONPropertyName.java**: Annotation class that can be used on Java Bean getter methods.
When used on a bean method that would normally be serialized into a `JSONObject`, it
overrides the getter-to-key-name logic and uses the value of the annotation. The Bean
processor will look through the class hierarchy. This means you can use the annotation on
a base class or interface and the value of the annotation will be used even if the getter
is overridden in a child class.
**JSONString.java**: The `JSONString` interface requires a `toJSONString` method,
allowing an object to provide its own serialization.
**JSONStringer.java**: The `JSONStringer` provides a convenient facility for
building JSON strings.
**JSONWriter.java**: The `JSONWriter` provides a convenient facility for building
JSON text through a writer.
**CDL.java**: `CDL` provides support for converting between JSON and comma
delimited lists.
**Cookie.java**: `Cookie` provides support for converting between JSON and cookies.
**CookieList.java**: `CookieList` provides support for converting between JSON and
cookie lists.
**HTTP.java**: `HTTP` provides support for converting between JSON and HTTP headers.
**HTTPTokener.java**: `HTTPTokener` extends `JSONTokener` for parsing HTTP headers.
**XML.java**: `XML` provides support for converting between JSON and XML.
**JSONML.java**: `JSONML` provides support for converting between JSONML and XML.
**XMLTokener.java**: `XMLTokener` extends `JSONTokener` for parsing XML text.
