//! Export a [`DoclingDocument`] to docling-core's native JSON wire format
//! (`DoclingDocument` schema v1.10.0) — the same shape `export_to_dict()` /
//! `save_as_json()` produce in Python docling, and the inverse of the
//! JSON-docling reader.
//!
//! The crate's [`Node`] model bakes Markdown escaping (and inline markers) into
//! its text, whereas docling stores raw text and escapes at render time. We
//! therefore *un-escape* on the way out so a docling-core round-trip
//! (`load_from_json().export_to_markdown()`) reproduces the same Markdown.
