Allow raw JSON values? about moshi HOT 7 CLOSED

.aboutToAddExternalValue() would just be .writeDeferredName() (private) and .flush(). A second method would not be needed.

I question the value something like would have in the public API.

Fair enough regarding exposing it in the normal API.
It's a good technique to construct JSON API requests while streaming from disk, I wonder whether there's a way to allow reusing JsonWriter without forking that is inconvenient enough that people don't shoot themselves in the foot.

We can probably come up with something. I definitely like the stream-from-disk intention vs a raw byte[] or String.

I just did something similar to this in google/gson#667 if you want to port it over. It deals with raw strings rather than a stream though.

@NightlyNexus thanks for implementing this!

Is there an equivalent for JsonReader? i.e if I want to consume the contents of a specific field as a json blob with no additional parsing?

That's #318
