  * Returns a JSON representation of a typed array.

  * ## Notes
  *
  * -   We build a JSON object representing a typed array similar to how Node.js `Buffer` objects are represented. See [Buffer][1].

  *
  * @param {TypedArray} arr - typed array to serialize
  * @throws {TypeError} first argument must be a typed array
  * @returns {Object} JSON representation
  *
  * @example
  * var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
  *
  * var arr = new Float64Array( [ 5.0, 3.0 ] );
  * var json = toJSON( arr );
  * // returns { 'type': 'Float64Array', 'data': [ 5.0, 3.0 ] }
