+This section describes functions that help to create, or *pack*,
complex JSON values, especially nested objects and arrays. Value
building is based on a *format string* that is used to tell the
functions about the expected arguments.
For example, the format string ``"i"`` specifies a single integer
value, while the format string ``"[ssb]"`` or the equivalent ``"[s, s,
-b]"`` specifies an array value with two integers and a boolean as its
+b]"`` specifies an array value with two strings and a boolean as its
items::
/* Create the JSON integer 42 */
``o`` (any value) [json_t \*]
Output any given JSON value as-is. If the value is added to an
array or object, the reference to the value passed to ``o`` is
- stealed by the container.

``O`` (any value) [json_t \*]
Like ``o``, but the argument's reference count is incremented.
