- Method Detail
  - add
```
JsonArray add(Object value)
```
    Adds an object at the end of the array.
    If the object to add is not of a native type, then the object is converted before being added. Once the object is converted and added, a modification of the original object won't affect this element, and vice-versa.
    If the element to add is a JsonObject or a JsonArray and is immutable, it will be cloned. Doing so, we can make sure the JsonArray is always fully mutable or fully immutable.
    If the element implements ToJsonObjectConvertible, it will be converted to a JsonObject using the associated conversion method. If it implements ToJsonArrayConvertible, it will be converted to an JsonArray using the associated conversion method.
    Those are the types of objects that will be converted to a JsonArray instead of a JsonObject, if no conversion interface is implemented :
    - A Collection
    - An array
  - add
```
JsonArray add(int index,
              Object value)
```
    Inserts an object at the specified index in the array. Any existing elements starting at this index are pushed to the right.
    If the specified index is greater than the current end of the array, null elements are added to fill up positionss up to the specified index!
    Use set instead if you want to replace the element at the specified index.
    If the object to add is not of a native type, then the object is converted before being added. Once the object is converted and added, a modification of the original object won't affect this element, and vice-versa.
    If the element to add is a JsonObject or a JsonArray and is immutable, it will be cloned. Doing so, we can make sure the JsonArray is always fully mutable or fully immutable.
    If the element implements ToJsonObjectConvertible, it will be converted to a JsonObject using the associated conversion method. If it implements ToJsonArrayConvertible, it will be converted to an JsonArray using the associated conversion method.

  - isOfTypeByteArray
```
boolean isOfTypeByteArray(int index,
                          boolean acceptBase64StringToo)
```
    Validates that the element at the specified JsonPath exists and is currently null or of type byte[], without requiring any conversion.
    
    Parameters:
    
    acceptBase64StringToo - if true, then a valid base 64 String will also be accepted.
  - isOfTypeDate
```
boolean isOfTypeDate(int index)
```
    Validates that the element at the specified index exists and is currently null or of type Date, without requiring any conversion.
  - isOfTypeJsonObject
```
boolean isOfTypeJsonObject(int index)
```
    Validates that the element at the specified index exists and is currently null or of type JsonObject, without requiring any conversion.
  - isOfTypeJsonArray
```
boolean isOfTypeJsonArray(int index)
```
    Validates that the element at the specified index exists and is currently null or of type JsonArray, without requiring any conversion.
  - isNull
```
boolean isNull(int index)
```
    Validates that there is an element at the specified index and it is null.
  - isEquivalentTo
```
boolean isEquivalentTo(JsonArray other)
```
    Compares the current JsonArray to the specified one and returns true if they are equivalent. To be equivalent, all their elements must be so too.
    An element is equivalent to the other if they can be converted to the¸ same type, and then if they are equals.
    For example, the String "123" is equivalent to new BigDecimal("123") or to 123L.
  - clone
```
JsonArray clone(boolean mutable)
```
    Deep copy of the JsonArray, so any modification to the original won't affect the clone, and vice-versa.
    Note that if the current array is immutable and the mutable parameter is set to false, then the current array will be returned as is since no cloning is then required.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clone in interface JsonObjectOrArray
    
    Parameters:
    
    mutable - if true the resulting array and all its children will be mutable, otherwise they will all be immutable.
  - transform
```
void transform(int index,
               ElementTransformer transformer)
```
    Transforms the element at the given index, using the specified ElementTransformer.
  - trim
```
void trim(int index)
```
    Trims the element, if it's of type String.
  - convertToStringList
```
List<String> convertToStringList()
```
    Converts the JsonArray to a List<String>. To do so, the toString() method will be called on any non null element.
    This list is always a new instance and is mutable.
  - convertToPlainList
```
List<Object> convertToPlainList()
```
    Converts the JsonArray to a plain List<Object>. All JsonObject elements will be converted to Maps and all JsonArray elements will be converted to Lists.
    This list is always a new instance and is mutable.
