{ TJsonNode is the class used to parse, build, and navigate a json document.
  You should only create and free the root node of your document. The root
  node will manage the lifetime of all children through methods such as Add,
  Delete, and Clear.

  When you create a TJsonNode node it will have no parent and is considered to
  be the root node. The root node must be either an array or an object. Attempts
  to convert a root to anything other than array or object will raise an
  exception.

  Note: The parser supports unicode by converting unicode characters escaped as
  values such as \u20AC. If your json string has an escaped unicode character it
  will be unescaped when converted to a pascal string.
