Kotlin DSL for type-safe JSON building

An example of building JSON:

val json = json {
    "id" to "value" //key->value pair
    "name" to "foo"
    "items" ["value1", "value2", "value3"] //array
    for (i in 1..2) "item$i" to i //you can even use regular loops when building JSON
    "numbers" [1, 2, 3]
    "child" { //child object
        "age" to 19
        "isValid" to false
        "isNull" to null
    }
}

This JSON object representation can be converted to JSON string:

val jsonString = json.toString()

Output:

{"id": "value", "name": "foo", "items": ["value1", "value2", "value3"], "item1": 1, "item2": 2, "numbers": [1, 2, 3], "child": {"age": 19, "isValid": false, "isNull": null}}

An example to retrieve elements from JSON:

val numbers = json["numbers"]?.toList<Int>()
println(numbers) //prints [1, 2, 3]
