> The JSON encoder doesn't encode binary data (bytes or ByteBuffer) properly.
> It treats the data as Latin-1 and encode it as text. But there is a bug in
> text encoding of non-Roman characters so the binary encoding doesn't work at
> all.
> The binary should be encoded into ASCII (Base64 or 85) before it's encoded in
> JSON. The text encoding of binary data is very inefficient even it works. For
> example, the 0 is encoded as "\\u0000" in JSON (7 bytes).
