+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression,
+level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal
+appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+ advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+ address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+ professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team at jsonjava060@gmail.com. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.
+
+## Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage], version 1.4,
+available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html

+# Contribution Guidelines
+
+Feel free to work on any open issue, you don't need to ask permission first. This year, the hacktoberfest label will be added to any PR and associated issue during the month of October.
+
+If you discover an issue you would like to work on, you can add a new issue to the list. If it meets our criteria, it will be available to work on (if not, it will be closed after review).
+
+# Who is allowed to submit pull requests for this project?
+
+Anyone can submit pull requests for code, tests, or documentation.
+
+# How do you decide which pull requests to accept?
+
+* Does it call out a bug that needs to be fixed? If so, it goes to the top of the list.
+* Does it fix a major user inconvenience? These are given high priority as well.
+* Does it align with the specs? If not, it will probably not be accepted. It turns out there are gray areas in the specs. If this is in a gray area, it will likely be given the benefit of the doubt.
+* Does it break the existing behavior of the lib? If so, it will not be accepted, unless it fixes an egregious bug. This is happening less frequently now.
+
+# For more guidance, see these links:

+```
+
+<p>This document's intention is to explain to new-comers the basics of this project</p>
+
+	
+<h2>Part 1: Creating a JSON document</h2>
+
+<h3>Using JSONArray</h3>
+
+```java
+private static void JSONExampleArray1() {
+	//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\","+
+			    "\"key3\":\"value3\","+
+			    "\"key4\":\"value4\""+
+			"},"+
+			"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
+
+private static JSONArray listNumberArray(int max){
+	JSONArray res = new JSONArray();
+	for (int i=0; i<max;i++) {
+		//The value of the labels must be an String in order to make it work
+		res.put(String.valueOf(i));
+	}
+	return res;
+}
+```
+```java
+private static void JSONExampleArray2() {
+
+	//We can also create an Array without a String by creating an empty array and adding elements to it
+
+	JSONArray array = new JSONArray();
+
+	//Adding elements with .put()
+
+	array.put("value");
+	array.put(5);
+	array.put(-23.45e67);
+	array.put(true);
+
+	//We convert it to JSONObject providing a label arrray like last time
+
+	JSONArray list = listNumberArray(array.length());
+	JSONObject object = array.toJSONObject(list);
+	System.out.println("Final JSONOBject: " + object);
+}
+```
+
+<h3>Using JSONStringer</h3>
+
+```java
+private static void JSONExampleStringer() {
+
+	//We initializate the JSONStringer
+
+	JSONStringer jsonStringer = new JSONStringer();
+
+	//Now we start the process of adding elements with .object()
+
+	jsonStringer.object();
+
+	//We can now add elements as keys and values with .values () and .key()
+
+	jsonStringer.key("trueValue").value(true);
+	jsonStringer.key("falseValue").value(false);
+	jsonStringer.key("nullValue").value(null);
+	jsonStringer.key("stringValue").value("hello world!");
+	jsonStringer.key("complexStringValue").value("h\be\tllo w\u1234orld!");
+	jsonStringer.key("intValue").value(42);
+	jsonStringer.key("doubleValue").value(-23.45e67);
+
+	//We end this prcedure with .ednObject
+
+	jsonStringer.endObject();
+
+	//Once we have a JSONStringer, we convert it to JSONObject generating a String and using JSONObject's contructor.
+
+	String str = jsonStringer.toString();
+	JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(str);
+
+	System.out.println("Final JSONOBject: " + jsonObject);
+}
+```
+<h3>Using JSONObject</h3>
+
+```java
+private static void JSONExampleObject1() {
+
+	//We can create a JSONObject from a String with the class builder
+
+	String string = "{\"0\":\"value\",\"1\":5,\"2\":-2.345E68,\"3\":true}";
+	JSONObject example = new JSONObject(string);
+	System.out.println("Final JSONObject: " + example);
+
+}
+```
+```java
+private static void JSONExampleObject2() {
+
+	//We can also create a JSONObject directly without messing around with any of the other functions.
+
+	JSONObject example = new JSONObject();
+
+
+	//Now we add the keys and values in a similar way as the Stringer method
+	example.put("key", "value");
+
+	//As you can see, the first entry is the key and the second would be its associeted value.
+
+	example.put("key2", 5);
+	example.put("key3", -23.45e67);
+	example.put("trueValue", true);
+
+	//We can't add null values thougth
+
+	//example.put("nullValue", null); //This is not possible
+
+	 System.out.println("Final JSONOBject: " + example);
+}
+```
+```java
+private static void JSONExampleObject3() {
+
+	//We can also create a JSONObject with a Java Map
+	//YoU will need a Map whose keys are Strings. The values can be whatever you want
+
+	Map<String,Double> map = new HashMap<String, Double>();
+
+	map.put("key1", 1.0);
+	map.put("key2", -23.45e67);
+
+	//We create the JSONObject with the map with its class builder
+
+	JSONObject example = new JSONObject(map);
+	 System.out.println("Final JSONOBject: " + example);
+}
+```
+<h3>Using JSONWriter</h3>
+
+```java
+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
+
+	StringBuilder write = new StringBuilder();
+	JSONWriter jsonWriter = new JSONWriter(write);
+
+	//We behave now the same way as Stringer
+
+	jsonWriter.object();
+
+	jsonWriter.key("trueValue").value(true);
+	jsonWriter.key("falseValue").value(false);
+	jsonWriter.key("nullValue").value(null);
+	jsonWriter.key("stringValue").value("hello world!");
+	jsonWriter.key("complexStringValue").value("h\be\tllo w\u1234orld!");
+	jsonWriter.key("intValue").value(42);
+	jsonWriter.key("doubleValue").value(-23.45e67);
+
+	jsonWriter.endObject();
+
+	//The resoult should be in the "write" object
+
+	System.out.println("JSON: " + write.toString());
+
+	//The difference is that we don't get a JSONObject in this one.
+
+
+}
+```
+```java
+private static void JSONExampleTokener() {
+
+	//A partir de una String podemos crear un JSONTokener, que lo podemos usar alternativamente para JSONArray,JSONObject
+
+	String string = "this is not a valid JSON string";
+	JSONTokener token = new JSONTokener(string);
+
+	//Now you can use the token in JSONObject and Array the same way as a String
+
+	JSONObject object = new JSONObject(token);
+	JSONArray array = new JSONArray(token);
+
+}
+```	
+<h2>Part 2: Conversion methods</h2>
+<p>We don't need to have a JSON document to work. This project also admits conversions from other type of files.</p>
+<p>Secondly, we can also convert from JSON to those type of files.</p>
+	
+<h3>Extra: Conversion to JSONArray</h3>
+
+```java
+private static void JSONObjectToArray() {
+	//We start with a JSONObject
+
+	String string = "{\"0\":\"value\",\"1\":5,\"2\":-2.345E68,\"3\":true}";
+
+	JSONObject example = new JSONObject(string);
+
+	//We need a list of key strings like the reverse operation
+
+	JSONArray keyStrings = listNumberArray(example.length());
+
+	//Then we convert to the Array using both elelements
+
+	JSONArray array = example.toJSONArray(keyStrings);
+
+	System.out.println("Final JSONArray: " + array);
+}
+```
+<h3>XML Conversions</h3>
+
+```java
+private static void XMLToExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start with a JSONObject
+
+	String string = "{\"0\":\"value\",\"1\":5,\"2\":-2.345E68,\"3\":true}";
+	JSONObject example = new JSONObject(string);
+
+	//We obtain a String with XML format with toString()
+
+	String output = XML.toString(example);
+	System.out.println("Final XML: " + output);
+}
+```
+```java
+private static void XMLFromExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start with a string with  the XML format
+
+	String string = "<0>value</0><1>5</1><2>-2.345E+68</2><3>true</3>";
+
+	//We obtain a JSONObject with toJSONOBject()
+
+	JSONObject output = XML.toJSONObject(string);
+
+	System.out.println("Final JSONObject: " + output);
+}
+```
+<h3>Cookie Conversions</h3>
+
+```java
+private static void CookieToExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start with a JSONObject
+	//The JSONOBject needs to entries that gives the cookie a name and gives the field "name" a name too.
+	//The Cokkie format doesn't support booleans
+
+	String string = "{\"name\":\"Cookie-Name\",\"value\":\"name\",\"1\":5,\"2\":-2.345E68,\"3\":'true'}";
+	JSONObject example = new JSONObject(string);
+
+	//We obtain a String with Cookie format with toString()
+
+	String output = Cookie.toString(example);
+	System.out.println("Final Cookie: " + output);
+}
+```
+```java
+private static void CookieFromExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start with a string with  the Cookie format
+
+	String string = "Cookie-Name=name;1=5;2=-2.345E%2b68;3=true";
+
+	//We obtain a JSONObject with toJSONOBject()
+
+	JSONObject output = Cookie.toJSONObject(string);
+	System.out.println("Final JSONObject: " + output);
+}
+```
+
+<h3>HTTP Conversions</h3>
+
+```java
+private static void HTTPToExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start with a JSONObject
+	//The JSONObject must have the minimun header for a HTTP request or header
+
+	String string = "{\"Method\":\"POST\",\"Request-URI\":'/',\"HTTP-Version\":'HTTP/1.1',\"Value1\":true,\"Value2\":2,\"Value3\":-2.345E68}";
+
+	JSONObject example = new JSONObject(string);
+
+	//We obtain a String with HTTP format with toString()
+
+	String output = HTTP.toString(example);
+	System.out.println("Final HTTP: " + output);
+}
+```
+```java
+private static void HTTPFromExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start with a string with  the HTTP format
+
+	String string = "Final HTTP: POST '/' HTTP/1.1 Value3: -2.345E+68 Value1: true Value2: 2";
+
+	//We obtain a JSONObject with toJSONOBject()
+
+	JSONObject output = HTTP.toJSONObject(string);
+	System.out.println("Final JSONObject: " + output);
+}
+```
+<h3>CDL Conversions</h3>
+
+```java
+private static void CDLToExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start with some JSONObjects with the same values in the keys but different values in the "values"
+
+	String string = "{\"0\":\"value\",\"1\":5,\"2\":-2.345E68,\"3\":true}";
+	JSONObject example = new JSONObject(string);
+
+	String string2 = "{\"0\":\"value2\",\"1\":6,\"2\":-8.345E68,\"3\":false}";
+	JSONObject example2 = new JSONObject(string2);
+
+	//We need now a JSONArray with those JSONObjects
+
+	JSONArray array = new JSONArray();
+	array.put(example);
+	array.put(example2);
+
+	//We obtain a String with XML format with toString()
+
+	String output = CDL.toString(array);
+	System.out.println("Final CDL: \r\n" + output);
+}
+```	
+```java
+private static void CDLFromExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start wtih a String with the CDL format
+
+	String string = "0,1,2,3\n"
+			+ "value,5,-2.345E+68,true\n"
+			+ "value2,6,-8.345E+68,false";
+
+	//We obtain a JSONArray with toJSONOBject()
+
+	JSONArray output = CDL.toJSONArray(string);
+	System.out.println("Final JSONArray: " + output);
+}
+```
+<h3>Properties Conversions</h3>
+
+```java
+private static Properties PropertyToExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start with a JSONObject
+
+	String string = "{\"0\":\"value\",\"1\":5,\"2\":-2.345E68,\"3\":true}";
+	JSONObject example = new JSONObject(string);
+
+	//We obtain a String with Properties format with toString()
+
+	Properties output = Property.toProperties(example);
+	System.out.println("Final Properties: " + output);
+
+	return output;
+}
+```
+```java
+private static void PropertyFromExampleConversion() {
+
+	//We start with a Properties object
+
+	Properties input = PropertyToExampleConversion();

-
-JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format.
-See http://www.JSON.org/
-
-The files in this package implement JSON encoders/decoders in Java.
-It also includes the capability to convert between JSON and XML, HTTP
-headers, Cookies, and CDL.
-
-This is a reference implementation. There is a large number of JSON packages
-in Java. Perhaps someday the Java community will standardize on one. Until
-then, choose carefully.
-
-The license includes this restriction: "The software shall be used for good,
-not evil." If your conscience cannot live with that, then choose a different
-package.
-
-The package compiles on Java 1.6-1.8.

+[JSON](http://www.JSON.org/) is a light-weight language-independent data interchange format.
 
-**JSONTokener.java**: The `JSONTokener` breaks a text into a sequence of individual
-tokens. It can be constructed from a `String`, `Reader`, or `InputStream`.
+The JSON-Java package is a reference implementation that demonstrates how to parse JSON documents into Java objects and how to generate new JSON documents from the Java classes.
 
-**JSONException.java**: The `JSONException` is the standard exception type thrown
-by this package.
-
-**JSONPointer.java**: Implementation of
-[JSON Pointer (RFC 6901)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901). Supports
-JSON Pointers both in the form of string representation and URI fragment
-representation.
-
-**JSONPropertyIgnore.java**: Annotation class that can be used on Java Bean getter methods.
-When used on a bean method that would normally be serialized into a `JSONObject`, it
-overrides the getter-to-key-name logic and forces the property to be excluded from the
-resulting `JSONObject`.
-
-**JSONPropertyName.java**: Annotation class that can be used on Java Bean getter methods.
-When used on a bean method that would normally be serialized into a `JSONObject`, it
-overrides the getter-to-key-name logic and uses the value of the annotation. The Bean
-processor will look through the class hierarchy. This means you can use the annotation on
-a base class or interface and the value of the annotation will be used even if the getter
-is overridden in a child class.   
-
-**JSONString.java**: The `JSONString` interface requires a `toJSONString` method,
-allowing an object to provide its own serialization.
-
-**JSONStringer.java**: The `JSONStringer` provides a convenient facility for
-building JSON strings.
-
-**JSONWriter.java**: The `JSONWriter` provides a convenient facility for building
-JSON text through a writer.
+Project goals include:
+* Reliable and consistent results
+* Adherence to the JSON specification 
+* Easy to build, use, and include in other projects
+* No external dependencies
+* Fast execution and low memory footprint
+* Maintain backward compatibility
+* Designed and tested to use on Java versions 1.6 - 21
 
 
-**CDL.java**: `CDL` provides support for converting between JSON and comma
-delimited lists.
+The files in this package implement JSON encoders and decoders. The package can also convert between JSON and XML, HTTP headers, Cookies, and CDL.
 
-**Cookie.java**: `Cookie` provides support for converting between JSON and cookies.
+# If you would like to contribute to this project
 
-**CookieList.java**: `CookieList` provides support for converting between JSON and
-cookie lists.
+For more information on contributions, please see [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/stleary/JSON-java/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
 
-**HTTP.java**: `HTTP` provides support for converting between JSON and HTTP headers.
+Bug fixes, code improvements, and unit test coverage changes are welcome! Because this project is currently in the maintenance phase, the kinds of changes that can be accepted are limited. For more information, please read the [FAQ](https://github.com/stleary/JSON-java/wiki/FAQ).
 
-**HTTPTokener.java**: `HTTPTokener` extends `JSONTokener` for parsing HTTP headers.
+# Build Instructions
 
-**XML.java**: `XML` provides support for converting between JSON and XML.
+The org.json package can be built from the command line, Maven, and Gradle. The unit tests can be executed from Maven, Gradle, or individually in an IDE e.g. Eclipse.
+ 
+**Building from the command line**
 
-**JSONML.java**: `JSONML` provides support for converting between JSONML and XML.
+*Build the class files from the package root directory src/main/java*
+```shell
+javac org/json/*.java
+```
 
-**XMLTokener.java**: `XMLTokener` extends `JSONTokener` for parsing XML text.
+*Create the jar file in the current directory*
+```shell
+jar cf json-java.jar org/json/*.class
+```
 
-Unit tests are maintained in a separate project. Contributing developers can test
-JSON-java pull requests with the code in this project:
-https://github.com/stleary/JSON-Java-unit-test
+*Compile a program that uses the jar (see example code below)*
+```shell
+javac -cp .;json-java.jar Test.java (Windows)
+javac -cp .:json-java.jar Test.java (Unix Systems)
+```
 
-Numeric types in this package comply with
-[ECMA-404: The JSON Data Interchange Format](http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-404.pdf) and
-[RFC 8259: The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259#section-6).
-This package fully supports `Integer`, `Long`, and `Double` Java types. Partial support
-for `BigInteger` and `BigDecimal` values in `JSONObject` and `JSONArray` objects is provided
-in the form of `get()`, `opt()`, and `put()` API methods.
+*Test file contents*
 
-Although 1.6 compatibility is currently supported, it is not a project goal and may be
-removed in some future release.
+```java
+import org.json.JSONObject;
+public class Test {
+    public static void main(String args[]){
+       JSONObject jo = new JSONObject("{ \"abc\" : \"def\" }");
+       System.out.println(jo);
+    }
+}
+```
 
-In compliance with RFC8259 page 10 section 9, the parser is more lax with what is valid
-JSON than the Generator. For Example, the tab character (U+0009) is allowed when reading
-JSON Text strings, but when output by the Generator, tab is properly converted to \t in
-the string. Other instances may occur where reading invalid JSON text does not cause an
-error to be generated. Malformed JSON Texts such as missing end " (quote) on strings or
-invalid number formats (1.2e6.3) will cause errors as such documents can not be read
- reliably.

+# Notes
+
+**Recent directory structure change**
+
+_Due to a recent commit - [#515 Merge tests and pom and code](https://github.com/stleary/JSON-java/pull/515) - the structure of the project has changed from a flat directory containing all of the Java files to a directory structure that includes unit tests and several tools used to build the project jar and run the unit tests. If you have difficulty using the new structure, please open an issue so we can work through it._
+
+**Implementation notes**
+
+Numeric types in this package comply with
+[ECMA-404: The JSON Data Interchange Format](http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-404.pdf) and
+[RFC 8259: The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259#section-6).
+This package fully supports `Integer`, `Long`, and `Double` Java types. Partial support
+for `BigInteger` and `BigDecimal` values in `JSONObject` and `JSONArray` objects is provided
+in the form of `get()`, `opt()`, and `put()` API methods.
+
+Although 1.6 compatibility is currently supported, it is not a project goal and might be
+removed in some future release.
+
+In compliance with RFC8259 page 10 section 9, the parser is more lax with what is valid
+JSON then the Generator. For Example, the tab character (U+0009) is allowed when reading
+JSON Text strings, but when output by the Generator, the tab is properly converted to \t in
+the string. Other instances may occur where reading invalid JSON text does not cause an
+error to be generated. Malformed JSON Texts such as missing end " (quote) on strings or
+invalid number formats (1.2e6.3) will cause errors as such documents can not be read
+reliably.
+
+Some notable exceptions that the JSON Parser in this library accepts are:
+* Unquoted keys `{ key: "value" }`
+* Unquoted values `{ "key": value }`
+* Unescaped literals like "tab" in string values `{ "key": "value   with an unescaped tab" }`
+* Numbers out of range for `Double` or `Long` are parsed as strings
+
+Recent pull requests added a new method `putAll` on the JSONArray. The `putAll` method
+works similarly to other `put` methods in that it does not call `JSONObject.wrap` for items
+added. This can lead to inconsistent object representation in JSONArray structures.
+
+For example, code like this will create a mixed JSONArray, some items wrapped, others
+not:
+
+```java
+SomeBean[] myArr = new SomeBean[]{ new SomeBean(1), new SomeBean(2) };
+// these will be wrapped
+JSONArray jArr = new JSONArray(myArr);
+// these will not be wrapped
+jArr.putAll(new SomeBean[]{ new SomeBean(3), new SomeBean(4) });
+```
+
+For structure consistency, it would be recommended that the above code is changed
+to look like 1 of 2 ways.
+
+Option 1:
+```Java
+SomeBean[] myArr = new SomeBean[]{ new SomeBean(1), new SomeBean(2) };
+JSONArray jArr = new JSONArray();
+// these will not be wrapped
+jArr.putAll(myArr);
+// these will not be wrapped
+jArr.putAll(new SomeBean[]{ new SomeBean(3), new SomeBean(4) });
+// our jArr is now consistent.
+```
+
+Option 2:
+```Java
+SomeBean[] myArr = new SomeBean[]{ new SomeBean(1), new SomeBean(2) };
+// these will be wrapped
+JSONArray jArr = new JSONArray(myArr);
+// these will be wrapped
+jArr.putAll(new JSONArray(new SomeBean[]{ new SomeBean(3), new SomeBean(4) }));
+// our jArr is now consistent.
+```
+
+**Unit Test Conventions**
+
+Test filenames should consist of the name of the module being tested, with the suffix "Test". 
+For example, <b>Cookie.java</b> is tested by <b>CookieTest.java</b>.
+
+<b>The fundamental issues with JSON-Java testing are:</b><br>
+* <b>JSONObjects</b> are unordered, making simple string comparison ineffective. 
+* Comparisons via **equals()** is not currently supported. Neither <b>JSONArray</b> nor <b>JSONObject</b> override <b>hashCode()</b> or <b>equals()</b>, so comparison defaults to the <b>Object</b> equals(), which is not useful.
+* Access to the <b>JSONArray</b> and <b>JSONObject</b> internal containers for comparison is not currently available.
+
+<b>General issues with unit testing are:</b><br>
+* Just writing tests to make coverage goals tends to result in poor tests. 
+* Unit tests are a form of documentation - how a given method works is demonstrated by the test. So for a code reviewer or future developer looking at code a good test helps explain how a function is supposed to work according to the original author. This can be difficult if you are not the original developer.
+*   It is difficult to evaluate unit tests in a vacuum. You also need to see the code being tested to understand if a test is good. 
+* Without unit tests, it is hard to feel confident about the quality of the code, especially when fixing bugs or refactoring. Good tests prevent regressions and keep the intent of the code correct.
+* If you have unit test results along with pull requests, the reviewer has an easier time understanding your code and determining if it works as intended.

+    <description>
+        JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format.
+        See http://www.JSON.org/
+
+        The files in this package implement JSON encoders/decoders in Java.
+        It also includes the capability to convert between JSON and XML, HTTP
+        headers, Cookies, and CDL.
+
+        This is a reference implementation. There are a large number of JSON packages
+        in Java. Perhaps someday the Java community will standardize on one. Until
+        then, choose carefully.
