> This is the first patch for the JCR Explorer functionality, I'll continue to
> prepend "JCR-Explorer" to related JIRA issues. This implements a new JSON
> rendering needed by the JCR Explorer.
> I'd originally asked to enhance the existing JSON interfaces to the
> repository to provide the JCR node properties as JSON objects rather than
> simple key/value pairs, but Alex suggested [1] that that would break existing
> operations and that I should create a new "metadata" selector to key the
> different rendering.
> That said, I'm not entirely thrilled about this patch. It certainly works
> and was easy enough to create, however, it is mostly just a copy of the
> existing JsonItemWriter and maintaining two objects that are so similar is
> surely less than ideal. But I didn't see an easy way to enhance the existing
> JsonItemWriter without fundamentally changing it. So I'm just "throwing this
> over the wall" to get some feedback/suggestions on how best to proceed.
> I haven't implemented any tests for this, I'll see what I can whip up.
> Hopefully there are already test cases for JsonItemWriter and
> JsonRendererServlet that I can base some tests on.
> Ideally, I'd like to get this functionality sorted out and committed before I
> submit the rest of the JCR Explorer implementation as the rest is
> non-intrusive and dependent on this.
