`basic_ubjson_encoder` is noncopyable and nonmoveable.

Four specializations for common character types and result types are defined:

Type                       |Definition
---------------------------|------------------------------
ubjson_stream_encoder            |basic_ubjson_encoder<jsoncons::binary_stream_sink>
ubjson_bytes_encoder     |basic_ubjson_encoder<jsoncons::bytes_sink<std::vector<uint8_t>>>

#### Member types

Type                       |Definition
---------------------------|------------------------------
char_type                  |char
sink_type                |Sink
string_view_type           |

#### Constructors

    explicit basic_ubjson_encoder(Sink&& sink)
Constructs a new encoder that writes to the specified destination.

#### Destructor

    virtual ~basic_ubjson_encoder() noexcept

(1) Flushes whatever is buffered to the destination.

(2) Indicates the begining of an object of indefinite length.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(3) Indicates the begining of an object of known length. 
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(4) Indicates the end of an object.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(5) Indicates the beginning of an indefinite length array. 
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(6) Indicates the beginning of an array of known length. 
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(7) Indicates the end of an array.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(8) Writes the name part of an object name-value pair.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(9) Writes a null value. 
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(10) Writes a boolean value.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(11) Writes a text string value.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(12) Writes a byte string value `source` with a generic tag.
Type `Source` must be a container that has member functions `data()` and `size()`, 
and member type `value_type` with size exactly 8 bits (since v0.152.0.)
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(13) Writes a byte string value `source` with a format specific tag, `ext_tag`.
Type `Source` must be a container that has member functions `data()` and `size()`, 
and member type `value_type` with size exactly 8 bits (since v0.152.0.)
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(14) Writes a non-negative integer value.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(15) Writes a signed integer value.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(16) Writes a half precision floating point value.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(17) Writes a double precision floating point value.
Returns `true` if the consumer wishes to receive more events, `false` otherwise.
Throws a [ser_error](ser_error.md) on parse errors. 

(18)-(33) Same as (2)-(17), except sets `ec` and returns `false` on parse errors.
