  # :call-seq:
  #   JSON.load(source, proc = nil, options = {}) -> object
  #
  # Returns the Ruby objects created by parsing the given +source+.
  #
  # - Argument +source+ must be, or be convertible to, a \String:
  #   - If +source+ responds to instance method +to_str+,
  #     <tt>source.to_str</tt> becomes the source.
  #   - If +source+ responds to instance method +to_io+,

  #   - If +source+ responds to instance method +read+,
  #     <tt>source.read</tt> becomes the source.
  #   - If both of the following are true, source becomes the \String <tt>'null'</tt>:
  #     - Option +allow_blank+ specifies a truthy value.
  #     - The source, as defined above, is +nil+ or the empty \String <tt>''</tt>.
  #   - Otherwise, +source+ remains the source.
  # - Argument +proc+, if given, must be a \Proc that accepts one argument.
  #   It will be called recursively with each result (depth-first order).
  #   See details below.
  #   BEWARE: This method is meant to serialise data from trusted user input,
  #   like from your own database server or clients under your control, it could
  #   be dangerous to allow untrusted users to pass JSON sources into it.
  # - Argument +opts+, if given, contains a \Hash of options for the parsing.

  #   The default options can be changed via method JSON.load_default_options=.
