Ability to change json_encode() options

[anton-kotik]

There is no way to modify json_encode() encode options except JSON_PRETTY_PRINT. For example we can't enable JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE or disable default options.

Extending the base class Zend\Json\Json as workaround creates another problems - can't use JsonRenderer with another Json encoder, Zend\Json\Json only:

Hi,

Our immediate problem is that we need to pass JSON_FORCE_OBJECT to json_encode. This is because the JSON output an API document that expects an integer-indexed-object, rather an array.

Is there any objection to us adding this functionality and submitting a pull request with it in?

Seems acceptable, although since JSON_THROW flags are now existing directly in core, this component can most likely be removed from your codebase instead...
