Description

JsonBuilder currently loads all of the data into an internal Map.

It would be really nice to have a JsonBuilder which takes a Writer as a constructor parameter, and writes to this writer as the document is constructed.

Unfortunatly, I think this would either require a rewrite of JsonBuilder, or a new class to handle this situation (StreamingJsonBuilder?)
