+ * <p>
+ * Produces <code>Content-Type</code> types: <code>application/json</code>
+ *
+ * <h5 class='section'>Description:</h5>
+ *
+ * The conversion is as follows...
+ * <ul class='spaced-list'>
+ * 	<li>
+ * 		Maps (e.g. {@link HashMap HashMaps}, {@link TreeMap TreeMaps}) are converted to JSON objects.
+ * 	<li>
+ * 		Collections (e.g. {@link HashSet HashSets}, {@link LinkedList LinkedLists}) and Java arrays are converted to
+ * 		JSON arrays.
+ * 	<li>
+ * 		{@link String Strings} are converted to JSON strings.
+ * 	<li>
+ * 		{@link Number Numbers} (e.g. {@link Integer}, {@link Long}, {@link Double}) are converted to JSON numbers.
+ * 	<li>
+ * 		{@link Boolean Booleans} are converted to JSON booleans.
+ * 	<li>
+ * 		{@code nulls} are converted to JSON nulls.
+ * 	<li>
+ * 		{@code arrays} are converted to JSON arrays.
+ * 	<li>
+ * 		{@code beans} are converted to JSON objects.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The types above are considered "JSON-primitive" object types.
+ * Any non-JSON-primitive object types are transformed into JSON-primitive object types through
+ * {@link org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap PojoSwaps} associated through the
+ * {@link CoreObjectBuilder#pojoSwaps(Class...)} method.
+ * Several default transforms are provided for transforming Dates, Enums, Iterators, etc...

+ * This serializer provides several serialization options.
+ * Typically, one of the predefined DEFAULT serializers will be sufficient.
+ * However, custom serializers can be constructed to fine-tune behavior.
