Most of time JSON is not written "by hand", it is created by some
library functions. E.g. Python has `json` standard (almost always
installed with the interpreter itself) module, VimL has built-in
`json_encode`, etc: many modern languages have this either "built-in"
or "in standard library", exceptions are usually positioning
themselves as "system" (like Rust or C) or "light-weight" (like lua)
languages. These functions would not create invalid JSON, they accept
native data types and they may be optimized, so 99% of time it is
better to use them even if you are absolutely sure you can write valid
JSON by hand.
