FLEX json utilities.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What are FLEX JSON functions?">
    FLEX JSON functions provide serialization (value to JSON string) and parsing (JSON string to map or list) utilities for use in Cypher queries.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do FLEX JSON functions handle invalid input?">
    They handle errors gracefully — `fromJsonMap` returns an empty map `{}` and `fromJsonList` returns an empty list `[]` on parse failures, without throwing exceptions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I call a JSON function?">
    Use the namespace `flex.json.<function>()`. For example: `flex.json.toJson({name: 'Alice'})` returns a JSON string.
