This is a fork of golang's encoding/json with an extra method MarshalSafeCollections that marshals nil slices and maps into [] and {} respectfully instead of null. Additionally added SetNilSafeCollection to the Encoder in order to turn on the flag (default: false).

The semantic versioning for this repository follows that of the go src version that it forks from.

• BREAKING CHANGE: Empty byte slices are now marshaled into empty strings, rather than arrays (#4)
