/**
 * Make a JSON text of an Object value. If the object has an
 * value.toJSONString() method, then that method will be used to produce the
 * JSON text. The method is required to produce a strictly conforming text.
 * If the object does not contain a toJSONString method (which is the most
 * common case), then a text will be produced by other means. If the value
 * is an array or Collection, then a JSONArray will be made from it and its
 * toJSONString method will be called. If the value is a MAP, then a
 * JSONObject will be made from it and its toJSONString method will be
 * called. Otherwise, the value's toString method will be called, and the
 * result will be quoted.
 * <p>
 * <p>
 * Warning: This method assumes that the data structure is acyclical.
 *
 * @param value
 *         The value to be serialized.
 * @return a printable, displayable, transmittable representation of the
 * object, beginning with <code>{</code>&nbsp;<small>(left
 * brace)</small> and ending with <code>}</code>&nbsp;<small>(right
 * brace)</small>.
 * @throws JSONException
 *         If the value is or contains an invalid number.
