  #   json = JSON.generate(obj)
  #   json # => '["foo",1.0,true,false,null]'
  #
  # When +obj+ is a
  # {Hash-convertible object}[doc/implicit_conversion_rdoc.html#label-Hash-Convertible+Objects],
  # return a \String containing a \JSON object:
  #   obj = {foo: 0, bar: 's', baz: :bat}
  #   json = JSON.generate(obj)
  #   json # => '{"foo":0,"bar":"s","baz":"bat"}'

  #
  # ====== Input Options
  #
  # Option +allow_nan+ (boolean) specifies whether
  # +NaN+, +Infinity+, and <tt>-Infinity</tt> may be generated;
  # defaults to +false+.
  #
  # With the default, +false+:
  #   # Raises JSON::GeneratorError (920: NaN not allowed in JSON):
  #   JSON.generate(JSON::NaN)
  #   # Raises JSON::GeneratorError (917: Infinity not allowed in JSON):
  #   JSON.generate(JSON::Infinity)
  #   # Raises JSON::GeneratorError (917: -Infinity not allowed in JSON):
  #   JSON.generate(JSON::MinusInfinity)
  #
  # Allow:
  #   ruby = [Float::NaN, Float::Infinity, Float::MinusInfinity]
  #   JSON.generate(ruby, allow_nan: true) # => '[NaN,Infinity,-Infinity]'
  #
  # ---
  #
  # Option +max_nesting+ (\Integer) specifies the maximum nesting depth
  # in +obj+; defaults to +100+.
  #
  # With the default, +100+:
  #   obj = [[[[[[0]]]]]]
  #   JSON.generate(obj) # => '[[[[[[0]]]]]]'
  #
  # Too deep:
  #   # Raises JSON::NestingError (nesting of 2 is too deep):
  #   JSON.generate(obj, max_nesting: 2)
  #
  # ====== Output Options
  #
  # The default formatting options generate the most compact
  # \JSON data, all on one line and with no whitespace.
  #
  # You can use these formatting options to generate
  # \JSON data in a more open format, using whitespace.
  # See also JSON.pretty_generate.
  #
  # - Option +array_nl+ (\String) specifies a string (usually a newline)
  #   to be inserted after each \JSON array; defaults to the empty \String, <tt>''</tt>.
  # - Option +object_nl+ (\String) specifies a string (usually a newline)
  #   to be inserted after each \JSON object; defaults to the empty \String, <tt>''</tt>.
  # - Option +indent+ (\String) specifies the string (usually spaces) to be
  #   used for indentation; defaults to the empty \String, <tt>''</tt>;
  #   defaults to the empty \String, <tt>''</tt>;
  #   has no effect unless options +array_nl+ or +object_nl+ specify newlines.
  # - Option +space+ (\String) specifies a string (usually a space) to be
  #   inserted after the colon in each \JSON object's pair;
  #   defaults to the empty \String, <tt>''</tt>.
  # - Option +space_before+ (\String) specifies a string (usually a space) to be
  #   inserted before the colon in each \JSON object's pair;
  #   defaults to the empty \String, <tt>''</tt>.
  #
  # In this example, +obj+ is used first to generate the shortest
  # \JSON data (no whitespace), then again with all formatting options
  # specified:
  #
  #   obj = {foo: [:bar, :baz], bat: {bam: 0, bad: 1}}
  #   json = JSON.generate(obj)
  #   puts 'Compact:', json
  #   opts = {
  #     array_nl: "\n",
  #     object_nl: "\n",
  #     indent+: '  ',
  #     space_before: ' ',
  #     space: ' '
  #   }
  #   puts 'Open:', JSON.generate(obj, opts)
  #
  # Output:
  #   Compact:
  #   {"foo":["bar","baz"],"bat":{"bam":0,"bad":1}}
  #   Open:
  #   {
  #     "foo" : [
  #       "bar",
  #       "baz"
  #   ],
  #     "bat" : {
  #       "bam" : 0,
  #       "bad" : 1
  #     }
  #   }
  #
  # ---
  #
  # Raises an exception if any formatting option is not a \String.
  #
  # ====== Exceptions
  #
  # Raises an exception if +obj+ contains circular references:
  #   a = []; b = []; a.push(b); b.push(a)
  #   # Raises JSON::NestingError (nesting of 100 is too deep):
  #   JSON.generate(a)
