/** Return a string representing a serialized element.

    This function serializes `t` as JSON and returns
    it as a `std::string`.

    @par Complexity
    Constant or linear in the size of `t`.

    @par Exception Safety
    Strong guarantee.
    Calls to allocate may throw.

    @return The serialized string

    @param t The value to serialize
