Succeptible to OutOfMemoryError heap space issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Seen in production and not able to reproduce yet
2. Currently assuming that it is happening because of a large array of data.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected object to be converted to a JSON string. Instead, ran out of heap.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

version 1.1
jdk1.6.0_13
SunOS 5.10

Please provide any additional information below.

Please consider using streaming if you have lots of data:

And, with respect, I don't think this is actually a "bug" with json.simple 
specifically, so I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.
