Description

Currently

println new JsonBuilder(['a','b','c','d'] as char[]).toString()

will output

[{},{},{},{}]

since the primitive class char has no properties (other than class).

My solution is to call toString on the object if there are no properties left. I have attached an updated JsonOutput.groovy and a fixed test.
