Object to JSON

Converts an object (of any type) to a JSON object
This does about what it says, using reflection. The only thing that doesn't really work too well is multidim arrays, because those are grade-A insanity to work with. Objects that have already been converted are referenced only by their handle (which is, to be perfectly honest, just the their memory address, but it works well enough) - no type name is provided for them, since they've already been mentioned at least once before the current object/field/what have you in the JSON.

To use it, you call ObjectToJSON(obj, map) where obj is the object you want to convert to JSON and map is a TMap you'll use to store which objects have already been converted to JSON (this is mainly to prevent infinite recursion due to cyclic references). If objects have dependencies on one-another or reference each other, you should try to create one TMap for that group of objects so as to reduce the size of the JSON output.
