JSON parser

JSON parser toolkit does not allow the creation of an array as the root object which is a valid JSON construct. It is possible to create a root array object by parsing "[]" but the create service does not allow additional objects to be added to a root object created in this way. The tool kit should support all valid JSON constructs.
