// ArrayState is returned by Reader's Array and ArrayOrNull methods. Use it in conjunction with
// Reader to iterate through a JSON array. To read the value of each array element, you will still
// use the Reader's methods.
//
// This example reads an array of strings; if there is a null instead of an array, it behaves the
// same as for an empty array. Note that it is not necessary to check for an error result before
// iterating over the ArrayState, or to break out of the loop if String causes an error, because
// the ArrayState's Next method will return false if the Reader has had any errors.
//
//	var values []string

// IsDefined returns true if the ArrayState represents an actual array, or false if it was

// Next checks whether an array element is available and returns true if so. It returns false
// if the Reader has reached the end of the array, or if any previous Reader operation failed,
// or if the array was empty or null.
//
// If Next returns true, you can then use Reader methods such as Bool or String to read the
// element value. If you do not care about the value, simply calling Next again without calling
// a Reader method will discard the value, just as if you had called SkipValue on the reader.
//
