	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Parse	Deserializes text-based JSON into a JSON CLR type.
	Save(Stream)	When implemented in a derived class, serializes the JsonValue CLR type into text-based JSON using a stream.
	Save(TextWriter)	Serializes the JsonValue CLR type into text-based JSON using a text writer.
	ToString	Saves (serializes) this JSON CLR type into text-based JSON. (Overrides Object.ToString().)

Remarks

The JSON CLR types JsonPrimitive, JsonArray, and JsonObject all inherit from this base class. It contains functionality common to all JSON CLR types, which is accessed through abstract methods and inheritance from this type. In particular, it contains a set of Implicit() operations that supports implicit static type conversion that enables you to treat JSON in a weakly typed manner.

Note that you cannot create custom classes that derive from JsonValue because one of its abstract properties is internal. This means that only types like JsonPrimitive that are in the System.Json.dll are allowed to derive from the class.
