+module JSON

+  # Output JSON from ruby objects in such a manner that all the hashes and arrays are output in alphanumeric sorted order.
+  # This is required so that our generated configs don't throw puppet or git for a tizzy fit.

+  # Beware: some hacky stuff ahead.
+  #
+  # This relies on the pure ruby implementation of JSON.generate (i.e. require 'json/pure')
+  # see https://github.com/flori/json/blob/master/lib/json/pure/generator.rb
+  #
+  # The Oj way that we are not using: Oj.dump(obj, :mode => :compat, :indent => 2)
