//EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENT WAYS OF CREATING A JSON

//We create a JSONObject from a String containing an array using JSONArray
//Firstly, we declare an Array in a String
String arrayStr =
"["+"true,"+"false,"+ "\"true\","+ "\"false\","+"\"hello\","+"23.45e-4,"+
"\"23.45\","+"42,"+"\"43\","+"["+"\"world\""+"],"+

"\"key1\":\"value1\","+
"\"key2\":\"value2\","+

"},"+
"0,"+"\"-1\""+
"]";
//Then, we initializate the JSONArray thanks to its constructor
JSONArray array = new JSONArray(arrayStr);
System.out.println("Values array: "+ array);
//We convert that array into a JSONObject, but first, we need the labels, so we need another JSONArray with the labels Here we will use an auxiliary function to get one for the example.
JSONArray list = listNumberArray(array.length());
System.out.println("Label Array: "+ list.toString());
//Now, we construct the JSONObject using both the value array and the label array.
JSONObject object = array.toJSONObject(list);
System.out.println("Final JSONOBject: " + object);

//This method creates an JSONArray of labels in which those are generated by their positions

//The value of the labels must be an String in order to make it work

private static void JSONExampleArray2() {
//We can also create an Array without a String by creating an empty array and adding elements to it

private static void JSONExamplWriter() {
//This method works in a very similar way to Object and Stringer in the construction of the JSON.
//The difference is that it needs a Java object called "Appendable" like StringBuilder
