/**
 * Encode a string to a native JavaScript expression.
 *
 * This class simply holds a string with a native JavaScript expression,
 * so objects or arrays to be encoded with Laminas\Json\Json can contain native
 * JavaScript expressions.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * <code>
 * $foo = array(
 *     'integer'  => 9,
 *     'string'   => 'test string',
 *     'function' => Laminas\Json\Expr(
 *         'function () { window.alert("javascript function encoded by Laminas\Json\Json") }'
 *     ),
 * );
 *
 * echo Laminas\Json\Json::encode($foo, false, ['enableJsonExprFinder' => true]);
 * </code>
 *
 * The above returns the following JSON (formatted for readability):
 *
 * <code>
 * {
 *   "integer": 9,
 *   "string": "test string",
 *   "function": function () {window.alert("javascript function encoded by Laminas\Json\Json")}
 * }
 * </code>
