//
// Class for serializing object into JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.
// It creates such object representation, which can be directly
// used in JavaScript ROOT (JSROOT) for drawing.
//
// TBufferJSON implements TBuffer interface, therefore most of
// ROOT and user classes can be converted into JSON.
// There are certain limitations for classes with custom streamers,
// which should be equipped specially for this purposes (see TCanvas::Streamer() as example).
//
// To perform conversion, one should use TBufferJSON::ConvertToJSON method like:
//
//    TH1* h1 = new TH1I("h1","title",100, 0, 10);
//    h1->FillRandom("gaus",10000);
//    TString json = TBufferJSON::ConvertToJSON(h1);
