046/**
047 * A builder for creating {@link JsonObject} models from scratch. This
048 * interface initializes an empty JSON object model and provides methods to add
049 * name/value pairs to the object model and to return the resulting object.
050 * The methods in this class can be chained to add multiple name/value pairs
051 * to the object.
052 *
053 * <EMBED CLASS='external-html' DATA-FILE-ID=LICENSE DATA-CIETName=JsonObjectBuilder>
054 * 
055 * <BR /><BR />The class {@link javax.json.Json} contains methods to create the builder
056 * object. The example code below shows how to build an empty {@code JsonObject}
057 * instance.
058 * 
059 * <BR /><DIV CLASS=SNIP>{@code
060 * JsonObject object = Json.createObjectBuilder().build();
061 * }</DIV>
062 *
063 * <BR /><BR />The class {@link JsonBuilderFactory} also contains methods to create
064 * {@code JsonObjectBuilder} instances. A factory instance can be used to create
065 * multiple builder instances with the same configuration. This the preferred
066 * way to create multiple instances.
067 *
068 * <BR /><BR />The example code below shows how to build a {@code JsonObject} model that
069 * represents the following JSON object:
070 *
071 * <DIV CLASS=JSON>{@code
072 * {
073 *     "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Smith", "age": 25,
074 *     "address" : {
075 *         "streetAddress": "21 2nd Street",
076 *         "city": "New York",
077 *         "state": "NY",
078 *         "postalCode": "10021"
079 *     },
080 *     "phoneNumber": [
081 *         { "type": "home", "number": "212 555-1234" },
082 *         { "type": "fax", "number": "646 555-4567" }
083 *     ]
084 * }
085 * }</DIV>
086 *
087 * <BR />The code to create the object shown above is the following:
088 *
089 * <DIV CLASS=EXAMPLE>{@code
090 * JsonBuilderFactory factory = Json.createBuilderFactory(config);
091 * 
092 * JsonObject value = factory
093 *      .createObjectBuilder()
094 *      .add("firstName", "John")
095 *      .add("lastName", "Smith")
096 *      .add("age", 25)
097 *      .add("address", factory.createObjectBuilder()
098 *          .add("streetAddress", "21 2nd Street")
099 *          .add("city", "New York")
100 *          .add("state", "NY")
101 *          .add("postalCode", "10021"))
102 *      .add("phoneNumber", factory.createArrayBuilder()
103 *          .add(factory.createObjectBuilder()
104 *              .add("type", "home")
105 *              .add("number", "212 555-1234"))
106 *          .add(factory.createObjectBuilder()
107 *              .add("type", "fax")
108 *              .add("number", "646 555-4567")))
109 *      .build();
110 * }</DIV>
111 *
112 * <BR /><BR />This class does <em>not</em> allow <code>null</code> to be used as a name or
113 * value while building the JSON object
