Converts a Maybe value to a JavaScript object that may be stored as a JSON value.

See the docs for adt/union/derivations/serialization for more details.

Example:

const Maybe = require('folktale/maybe');

Maybe.Just(1).toJSON();
// ==> { '@@type': 'folktale:Maybe', '@@tag': 'Just', '@@value': { value: 1 } }

Maybe.Nothing().toJSON();
// ==> { '@@type': 'folktale:Maybe', '@@tag': 'Nothing', '@@value': {} }
