/**
 * Order-preserving JSON parser.
 *
 * JavaScript's built-in JSON.parse returns plain objects, and plain objects
 * reorder integer-index-like string keys ("0", "5", ...) ahead of other keys
 * in numeric order (a language quirk). GCF's generic profile requires
 * first-observed insertion order for object keys (SPEC 7.4.3), so a value like
 * {"key":..,"5":..,"#x":..} must keep that textual order. This parser returns a
 * Map for every JSON object, which preserves insertion order for all keys, so
 * the generic encoder produces the same canonical wire as the other SDKs (which
 * parse into ordered maps: gcf-go ParseJSONOrdered, gcf-python's dict).
 *
 * Arrays become plain arrays; scalars become the usual JS primitives (numbers as
 * number, matching JSON.parse). This is a strict JSON parser: it accepts exactly
 * the JSON grammar and throws on malformed input.
