/**
 * SECTION:clutter-script
 * @short_description: Loads a scene from UI definition data
 *
 * #ClutterScript is an object used for loading and building parts or a
 * complete scenegraph from external definition data in forms of string
 * buffers or files.
 *
 * The UI definition format is JSON, the JavaScript Object Notation as
 * described by RFC 4627. #ClutterScript can load a JSON data stream,
 * parse it and build all the objects defined into it. Each object must
 * have an "id" and a "type" properties defining the name to be used
 * to retrieve it from #ClutterScript with clutter_script_get_object(),
 * and the class type to be instanciated. Every other attribute will
 * be mapped to the class properties.
 *
 * A #ClutterScript holds a reference on every object it creates from
 * the definition data, except for the stage. Every non-actor object
 * will be finalized when the #ClutterScript instance holding it will
 * be finalized, so they need to be referenced using g_object_ref() in
 * order for them to survive.
 *
 * A simple object might be defined as:
 *
 * <programlisting>
 * {
 *   "id"     : "red-button",
 *   "type"   : "ClutterRectangle",
 *   "width"  : 100,
 *   "height" : 100,
 *   "color"  : "0xff0000ff"
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 *
 * This will produce a red #ClutterRectangle, 100x100 pixels wide, and
 * with a name of "red-button"; it can be retrieved by calling:
 *
 * <programlisting>
 * ClutterActor *red_button;
 *
 * red_button = CLUTTER_ACTOR (clutter_script_get_object (script, "red-button"));
 * </programlisting>
 *
 * and then manipulated with the Clutter API.
 *
 * Packing can be represented using the "children" member, and passing an
 * array of objects or ids of objects already defined (but not packed: the
 * packing rules of Clutter still apply, and an actor cannot be packed
 * in multiple containers without unparenting it in between).
 *
 * Behaviours and timelines can also be defined inside a UI definition
 * buffer:
 *
 * <programlisting>
 * {
 *   "id"          : "rotate-behaviour",
 *   "type"        : "ClutterBehaviourRotate",
 *   "angle-start" : 0.0,
 *   "angle-end"   : 360.0,
 *   "axis"        : "z-axis",
 *   "alpha"       : {
 *     "timeline" : { "num-frames" : 240, "fps" : 60, "loop" : true },
 *     "function" : "sine"
 *   }
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 *
 * And then to apply a defined behaviour to an actor defined inside the
 * definition of an actor, the "behaviour" member can be used:
 *
 * <programlisting>
 * {
 *   "id" : "my-rotating-actor",
 *   "type" : "ClutterTexture",
 *   ...
 *   "behaviours" : [ "rotate-behaviour" ]
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 *
 * A #ClutterAlpha belonging to a #ClutterBehaviour can only be defined
 * implicitely. A #ClutterTimeline belonging to a #ClutterAlpha can be
 * either defined implicitely or explicitely. Implicitely defined
 * #ClutterAlpha<!-- -->s and #ClutterTimeline<!-- -->s can omit the
 * <varname>id</varname> member, as well as the <varname>type</varname> member,
 * but will not be available using clutter_script_get_object() (they can,
 * however, be extracted using the #ClutterBehaviour and #ClutterAlpha
 * API respectively).
 *
 * Clutter reserves the following names, so classes defining properties
 * through the usual GObject registration process should avoid using these
 * names to avoid collisions:
 *
 * <programlisting><![CDATA[
 *   "id"         := the unique name of a ClutterScript object
 *   "type"       := the class literal name, also used to infer the type function
 *   "type_func"  := the GType function name, for non-standard classes
 *   "children"   := an array of names or objects to add as children
 *   "behaviours" := an array of names or objects to apply to an actor
 * ]]></programlisting>
 *
 * #ClutterScript is available since Clutter 0.6
