	builder.add_int_value (242);
	builder.end_array ();

	builder.end_object ();

	// { "url" : "http://www.gnome.org/img/flash/two-thirty.png", "size" : [ 652, 242 ] }
	Json.Generator generator = new Json.Generator ();
	Json.Node root = builder.get_root ();

Properties:

• public uint indent { get; set; }
  Number of spaces to be used to indent when pretty printing.
• public uint indent_char { get; set; }
  The character that should be used when indenting in pretty print.
• public bool pretty { get; set; }
  Whether the output should be "pretty-printed", with indentation and newlines.
• public Node root { get; set; }
  The root node to be used when constructing a JSON data stream.

Creation methods:

• public Generator ()
  Creates a new `JsonGenerator`.

Methods:

• public uint get_indent ()
  Retrieves the value set using [method@Json.
• public unichar get_indent_char ()
  Retrieves the value set using [method@Json.
• public bool get_pretty ()
  Retrieves the value set using [method@Json.
• public unowned Node? get_root ()
  Retrieves a pointer to the root node set using [method@Json.
• public void set_indent (uint indent_level)
  Sets the number of repetitions for each indentation level.
• public void set_indent_char (unichar indent_char)
  Sets the character to be used when indenting.
• public void set_pretty (bool is_pretty)
  Sets whether the generated JSON should be pretty printed.
• public void set_root (Node node)
  Sets the root of the JSON data stream to be serialized by the given generator.
• public string to_data (out size_t length)
  Generates a JSON data stream from this and returns it as a buffer.
• public bool to_file (string filename) throws Error
  Creates a JSON data stream and puts it inside `filename`, overwriting the file's current contents.
• public unowned StringBuilder to_gstring (StringBuilder string)
  Generates a JSON data stream and appends it to the string buffer.
• public bool to_stream (OutputStream stream, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Outputs JSON data and writes it (synchronously) to the given stream.
