/**
 * {@code JsonArray} represents an immutable JSON array
 * (an ordered sequence of zero or more values).
 * It also provides an unmodifiable list view of the values in the array.
 *
 * <EMBED CLASS='external-html' DATA-FILE-ID=LICENSE DATA-CIETName=JsonArray>
 * 
 * <BR /><BR />A {@code JsonArray} object can be created by reading JSON data from
 * an input source or it can be built from scratch using an array builder
 * object.
 *
 * <BR /><BR />The following example demonstrates how to create a {@code JsonArray}
 * object from an input source using the method {@link JsonReader#readArray()}:
 * 
 * <BR /><DIV CLASS=SNIP>{@code
 * JsonReader   jsonReader  = Json.createReader(...);
 * JsonArray    array       = jsonReader.readArray();
 * 
 * jsonReader.close();
 * }</DIV>
 *
 * <BR /><BR />The following example demonstrates how to build an empty JSON array
 * using the class {@link JsonArrayBuilder}:
 * 
 * <BR /><DIV CLASS=SNIP>{@code
 * JsonArray array = Json.createArrayBuilder().build();
 * }</DIV>
 *
 * <BR /><BR />The example code below demonstrates how to create the following JSON array:
 * 
 * <DIV CLASS=JSON>{@code
 * [
 *     { "type": "home", "number": "212 555-1234" },
 *     { "type": "fax", "number": "646 555-4567" }
 * ]
 * }</DIV>
 * 
 * <DIV CLASS=EXAMPLE>{@code
 * JsonArray value = Json
 *      .createArrayBuilder()
 *      .add(Json.createObjectBuilder()
 *          .add("type", "home")
 *          .add("number", "212 555-1234"))
 *      .add(Json.createObjectBuilder()
 *          .add("type", "fax")
 *          .add("number", "646 555-4567"))
 *      .build();
 * }</DIV>
 *
 * <BR />The following example demonstrates how to write a {@code JsonArray} object 
 * as JSON data:
 * 
 * <BR /><DIV CLASS=SNIP>{@code
 * JsonArray    arr     = ...;
 * JsonWriter   writer  = Json.createWriter(...)
 * 
 * writer.writeArray(arr);
 * writer.close();
 * }</DIV>
 *
 * <BR /><BR />The values in a {@code JsonArray} can be of the following types:
 * {@link JsonObject}, {@link JsonArray},
 * {@link JsonString}, {@link JsonNumber}, {@link JsonValue#TRUE},
 * {@link JsonValue#FALSE}, and {@link JsonValue#NULL}. 
 * {@code JsonArray} provides various accessor methods to access the values
 * in an array.
 * 
 * <BR /><BR />The following example shows how to obtain the home phone number 
 * "212 555-1234" from the array built in the previous example:
 * 
 * <BR /><DIV CLASS=SNIP>{@code
 * JsonObject home = array.getJsonObject(0);
 * String number = home.getString("number");
 * }</DIV>
 *
 * <BR /><BR />{@code JsonArray} instances are list objects that provide read-only 
 * access to the values in the JSON array. Any attempt to modify the list,
 * whether directly or using its collection views, results in an 
 * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
