ObjectWriter.writeValueAsString() should not throw JsonProcessingException

See original GitHub issue

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JACKSON-758?focusedCommentId=304834&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-304834 provided a good explanation of why it is impossible for the underlying StringWriter to throw IOException.

I agree with the author, you should catch the exception and throw AssertionError if it ever occurs. Technically speaking this will never occur and it is annoying to have to catch this exception in a 1000 different pieces of code.

I’ll make this easy here: I don’t like making special cases for particular write methods. So signature shall stay as is, and callers are free to add convenience methods, or sub-class ObjectMapper as they see fit.

I am using Sneakythrows for it. It does put things under the carpet though 😀
