  Description     : JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS)

 JSON Canonicalization
 .
 Cryptographic operations like hashing and signing depend on that the
 target data does not change during serialization, transport, or parsing.
 By applying the rules defined by JCS (JSON Canonicalization Scheme),
 data provided in the JSON [RFC8259
 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259)] format can be exchanged "as is",
 while still being subject to secure cryptographic operations. JCS
 achieves this by building on the serialization formats for JSON
 primitives as defined by ECMAScript [ES (https://ecma-
 international.org/ecma-262/)], constraining JSON data to the I-JSON
 [RFC7493 (https://tools.ietf.org/html//rfc7493)] subset, and through a
 platform independent property sorting scheme.
 .
 Public RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8785
 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8785)
 .
 The JSON Canonicalization Scheme concept in a nutshell:
 .
  * Serialization of primitive JSON data types using methods compatible
    with ECMAScript's JSON.stringify()
  * Lexicographic sorting of JSON Object properties in a *recursive*
    process
  * JSON Array data is also subject to canonicalization, *but element
    order remains untouched*
