Encodes given object to a JSON string.
Identical to json.encode, except that the output is a string rather than
bytes.
Usually, json.encode should be preferred to this function. Use this function
only if you need to process the output as text. If you intend to send the
resulting text payload over the network, always use UTF-8 charset, per
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259#section-8.1.
