+/**
+ * An Jsonable that can turn itself into a JSON object using reflection.
+ *
+ * <p>This can only be used to create JSON *objects*, so if your class needs a different JSON type,
+ * you'll have to implement Jsonable yourself. (for example, VCards objects are represented as a
+ * list rather than an object)
+ *
+ * <p>You can annotate fields or methods with 0 parameters with {@link JsonElement}, and its value
+ * will be "JSONified" and added to the generated JSON object.
+ *
+ * <p>This implementation is geared towards RDAP replies, and hence has RDAP-specific quirks.
+ * Specifically:
+ *
+ * - Fields with empty arrays are not shown at all
+ *
+ * - VCards are a built-in special case (Not implemented yet)
+ *
+ * - DateTime conversion is specifically supported as if it were a primitive
+ *
+ * - Arrays are considered to be SETS rather than lists, meaning repeated values are removed and the
+ *   order isn't guaranteed
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *
+ * {@link JsonableElement}
+ * -----------------------
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * - JsonableElement annotates Members that become JSON object fields:
+ *
+ * class Something extends AbstractJsonableObject {
+ *   @JsonableElement public String a = "value1";
+ *   @JsonableElement public String b() {return "value2";}
+ * }
+ *
+ * will result in:
+ * {
+ *   "a": "value1",
+ *   "b": "value2"
+ * }
+ *
+ * - Passing a name to JsonableElement overrides the Member's name. Multiple elements with the same
+ *   name is an error (except for lists - see later)
+ *
+ * class Something extends AbstractJsonableObject {
+ *   @JsonableElement("b") public String a = "value1";
+ * }
+ *
+ * will result in:
+ * {
+ *   "b": "value1"
+ * }
+ *
+ * - the supported object types are String, Boolean, Number, DateTime, Jsonable. In addition,
+ *   Iterable and Optional are respected.
+ *
+ * - An Optional that's empty is skipped, while a present Optional acts exactly like the object it
+ *   wraps. Null values are errors.
+ *
+ * class Something extends AbstractJsonableObject {
+ *   @JsonableElement public Optional<String> a = Optional.of("value1");
+ *   @JsonableElement public Optional<String> b = Optional.empty();
+ * }
+ *
+ * will result in:
+ * {
+ *   "a": "value1"
+ * }
+ *
+ * - An Iterable will turn into an array. Multiple Iterables with the same name are merged. Remember
+ *   - arrays are treated as "sets" here.
+ *
+ * class Something extends AbstractJsonableObject {
+ *   @JsonableElement("lst") public List<String> a = ImmutableList.of("value1", "value2");
+ *   @JsonableElement("lst") public List<String> b = ImmutableList.of("value2", "value3");
+ * }
+ *
+ * will result in:
+ * {
+ *   "lst": ["value1", "value2", "value3"]
+ * }
+ *
+ * - A single element with a [] after its name is added to the array as if it were wrapped in a list
+ *   with one element. Optionals are still respected (an empty Optional is skipped).
+ *
+ * class Something extends AbstractJsonableObject {
+ *   @JsonableElement("lst") public List<String> a = ImmutableList.of("value1", "value2");
+ *   @JsonableElement("lst[]") public String b = "value3";
+ *   @JsonableElement("lst[]") public Optional<String> c = Optional.empty();
+ * }
+ *
+ * will result in:
+ * {
+ *   "lst": ["value1", "value2", "value3"]
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * {@link RestrictJsonNames}
+ * -------------------------
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * - RestrictJsonNames is a way to prevent typos in the JsonableElement names.
+ *
+ * - If it annotates a Jsonable class declaration, this class can only be annotated with
+ *   JsonableElements with one of the allowed names
+ *
+ * @RestrictJsonNames({"key", "lst[]"})
+ * class Something implements Jsonable {...}
+ *
+ * means that Something can only be used as an element named "key", OR as an element in an array
+ * named "lst".
+ *
+ * @JsonableElement public Something something; // ERROR
+ * @JsonableElement("something") public Something key; // ERROR
+ * @JsonableElement public Something key; // OK
+ * @JsonableElement("key") public Something something; // OK
+ * @JsonableElement("lst") public List<Something> myList; // OK
+ * @JsonableElement("lst[]") public Something something; // OK
+ *
+ * - @RestrictJsonNames({}) means this Jsonable can't be inserted into an AbstractJsonableObject at
+ *   all. It's useful for "outer" Jsonable that are to be returned as is, or for
+ *   AbstractJsonableObject only used for JsonableElement("*") (Merging - see next)
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * {@link JsonableElement} with "*" for name - merge instead of sub-object
+ * -----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * The special name "*" means we want to merge the object with the current object instead of having
+ * it a value for the name key.
+ *
+ * THIS MIGHT BE REMOVED LATER, we'll see how it goes. Currently it's only used in one place and
+ * might not be worth it.
+ *
+ * - JsonableElement("*") annotates an AbstractJsonableObject Member that is to be merged with the
+ *   current AbstractJsonableObject, instead of being a sub-object
+ *
+ * class Something extends AbstractJsonableObject {
+ *   @JsonableElement public String a = "value1";
+ * }
+ *
+ * class Other extends AbstractJsonableObject {
+ *   @JsonableElement("*") public Something something = new Something();
+ *   @JsonableElement public String b = "value2";
+ * }
+ *
+ * Other will result in:
+ * {
+ *   "a": "value1",
+ *   "b": "value2"
+ * }
+ *
+ * - Arrays of the same name are merges (remember, they are considered sets so duplicates are
+ *   removed), but elements with the same name are an error
+ *
+ * class Something extends AbstractJsonableObject {
+ *   @JsonableElement("lst[]") public String a = "value1";
+ * }
+ *
+ * class Other extends AbstractJsonableObject {
+ *   @JsonableElement("*") public Something something = new Something();
+ *   @JsonableElement("lst[]") public String b = "value2";
+ * }
+ *
+ * Other will result in:
+ * {
+ *   "lst": ["value1", "value2"]
+ * }
+ *
+ * - Optionals are still respected. An empty JsonableElement("*") is skipped.
+ * </pre>
