# File lib/json/add/string.rb, line 21
def to_json_raw_object
  {
    JSON.create_id => self.class.name,
    "raw" => unpack("C*"),
  }

This method creates a raw object hash, that can be nested into other data structures and will be generated as a raw string. This method should be used, if you want to convert raw strings to JSON instead of UTF-8 strings, e. g. binary data.
