Description

Currently, we use our own serialization of bytes in json.hpp but we use picojson for deserialization.

We've observed that for some bytes the serialization results in a string that is incorrectly decoded by picojson.

Example:

String = ""\"\\/\b\f\n\r\t\x00\x19 !#[]\x7F\xFF"

Result of our own encoding: "\"\\\"\\\\\\/\\b\\f\\n\\r\\t\\u0000
u0019 !#[]\\u007f\xFF\""

picojson's encoding: "\"\\\"\\\\\\/\\b\\f\\n\\r\\t\\u0000
u0019 !#[]\\u007F\\u00FF\""

Fix:
We just use picojson to serialize bytes for consistency.
