  - JsonPrimitive
```
public JsonPrimitive(Boolean bool)
```
    Create a primitive containing a boolean value.
    
    Parameters:
    bool - the value to create the primitive with.
  - JsonPrimitive
```
public JsonPrimitive(Number number)
```
    Create a primitive containing a Number.
    
    Parameters:
