ES6 Compatible Parsing & Serialization

ES6 (EcmaScript version 6) and forward specifies very specific rules for serialization including "predictive property" order. This may appear strange but for a human creating the properties A, B, C and getting them serialized as A, C, B is slightly awkward, although completely compatible with JSON.

In addition, ES6 also specifies strict rules for serializing numbers which are quite different from what native Java does.

Anyway, a huge advantage with ES6 parsing and serialization is that it makes it possible creating very elegant "crypto safe" objects as described here: https://cyberphone.github.io/doc/security/jsonsignatures.html

This is currently supported by an open source library of mine (https://github.com/cyberphone/openkeystore#openkeystore) but it would be even cooler if ES6 compatible parsing and serialization would be a part of JSON-B or at least of your reference implementation. This should be coordinated with your JavaScript engine since the very same scheme must be running there already.

Start by reviewing the JSON-B API and its reference implementation, then examine how the coordinated JavaScript engine handles ES6 parsing and serialization. Compare the requested property ordering and number serialization rules with the OpenKeyStore example; done means an agreed ES6-compatible approach is implemented in JSON-B or its reference implementation.
