+"""Module for converting in-memory data into raw JSON output.
+
+CSIT and VPP PAPI are using custom data types
+that are not directly serializable into JSON.
+
+Thus, before writing the raw outpt onto disk,
+the data is recursively converted to equivalent serializable types,
+in extreme cases replaced by string representation.
+
+Validation is outside the scope of this module,
+as it should use the JSON data read from disk.

+
+    VPP PAPI code can give data with its own MACAddres type,
+    or various other enum and flag types.
+    The default json.JSONEncoder method raises TypeError on that.
+    First point of this function is to apply str() or repr()
+    to leaf values that need it.
+
+    Also, PAPI responses are namedtuples, which confuses
+    the json.JSONEncoder method (so it does not recurse).
+    Dictization (see PapiExecutor) helps somewhat, but it turns namedtuple
+    into a UserDict, which also confuses json.JSONEncoder.
+    Therefore, we recursively convert any Mapping into an ordinary dict.
+
+    We also convert iterables to list (sorted if the iterable was a set),
+    and prevent numbers from getting converted to strings.
+
+    As we are doing such low level operations,
+    we also convert mapping keys to strings
+    and sort the mapping items by keys alphabetically,
+    except "data" field moved to the end.
