(FYI, not issue) -- to generate Smile encoded data could use Jackformer

As per title, not an issue report, but something that might help with both getting Smile encoded data and verifying Smile decoding. I am writing a silly little webapp that can do "blind" transformations between data formats Jackson supports (N x N). Specifically it can be used to transform from JSON, XML and YAML into Smile and back:

https://github.com/cowtowncoder/Jackformer

and so can create Smile encoded documents from say JSON. It can also be used to transform from Smile to JSON to see if encoding is correct. There isn't yet anything in a way to configure Smile settings but maybe this would be useful at any rate.
