 * Provides a simple parser that visits children objects safely, whether they exist as single JSON objects, JSON arrays,

 *
 * Usage: Simply give the parser the parent object and child key, and implement {@link #parse(JSONObject)} with the
 * processing you need.
 *
 * (The existing JSON files often store single value entities as objects not as a JSON Array of size 1.)
