Reporter: Zhihong Zhang
The JSON encoder uses default encoding of the platform. It should always use
UTF-8.
This causes multiple problems for us,
1. The text is mangled if sending/receiving machine has different encoding.
2. Some encodings (like Latin-1 or MacRoman) can't handle all characters (like
Chinese) and we get ? in the text.
3. The binary encoder (ByteBuffer) doesn't work due to this problem.
