List<int> convert (Object object)

Convert `object` into UTF-8 encoded JSON.

## Implementation

    List<int> convert(Object object) {
      List<List<int>> bytes = [];
      // The `stringify` function always converts into chunks.
      // Collect the chunks into the `bytes` list, then combine them afterwards.
      void addChunk(Uint8List chunk, int start, int end) {
        if (start > 0 || end < chunk.length) {
          int length = end - start;
          chunk = new Uint8List.view(
              chunk.buffer, chunk.offsetInBytes + start, length);
        }
        bytes.add(chunk);
      }

      _JsonUtf8Stringifier.stringify(
          object, _indent, _toEncodable, _bufferSize, addChunk);
      if (bytes.length == 1) return bytes[0];
      int length = 0;
      for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
        length += bytes[i].length;
      }
      Uint8List result = new Uint8List(length);
      for (int i = 0, offset = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
        var byteList = bytes[i];
        int end = offset + byteList.length;
        result.setRange(offset, end, byteList);
        offset = end;
      }
      return result;
    }
