/**
 * \file
 * C interface for interaction with TDLib via JSON-serialized objects.
 * Can be used to easily integrate TDLib with any programming language which supports calling C functions
 * and is able to work with JSON.
 *
 * The JSON serialization of TDLib API objects is straightforward: all API objects are represented as JSON objects with
 * the same keys as the API object field names. The object type name is stored in the special field '@type' which is
 * optional in places where type is uniquely determined by the context.
 * Fields of Bool type are stored as Boolean, fields of int32, int53, and double types are stored as Number, fields of
 * int64 and string types are stored as String, fields of bytes type are base64 encoded and then stored as String,
 * fields of vector type are stored as Array.
 * The main TDLib interface is asynchronous. To match requests with a corresponding response a field "@extra" can
 * be added to the request object. The corresponding response will have an "@extra" field with exactly the same value.
 *
 * A TDLib client instance can be created through td_json_client_create.
 * Requests then can be sent using td_json_client_send from any thread.
 * New updates and request responses can be received through td_json_client_receive from any thread. This function
 * must not be called simultaneously from two different threads. Also note that all updates and request responses
 * must be applied in the order they were received to ensure consistency.
 * Given this information, it's advisable to call this function from a dedicated thread.
 * Some service TDLib requests can be executed synchronously from any thread by using td_json_client_execute.
 * The TDLib client instance can be destroyed via td_json_client_destroy.
 *
 * General pattern of usage:
 * \code
 * void *client = td_json_client_create();
 * // somehow share the client with other threads, which will be able to send requests via td_json_client_send
 *
 * const double WAIT_TIMEOUT = 10.0; // seconds
 * int is_closed = 0;  // should be set to 1, when updateAuthorizationState with authorizationStateClosed is received
 * while (!is_closed) {
 *   const char *result = td_json_client_receive(client, WAIT_TIMEOUT);
 *   if (result) {
 *     // parse the result as JSON object and process it as an incoming update or an answer to a previously sent request
 *   }
 * }
 * td_json_client_destroy(client);
 * \endcode
