@brief general exception of the @ref basic_json class

This class is an extension of `std::exception` objects with a member @a id for
exception ids. It is used as the base class for all exceptions thrown by the
@ref basic_json class. This class can hence be used as "wildcard" to catch
exceptions.

Subclasses:
- @ref parse_error for exceptions indicating a parse error
- @ref invalid_iterator for exceptions indicating errors with iterators
- @ref type_error for exceptions indicating executing a member function with
                  a wrong type
- @ref out_of_range for exceptions indicating access out of the defined range
- @ref other_error for exceptions indicating other library errors

@internal
@note To have nothrow-copy-constructible exceptions, we internally use
      `std::runtime_error` which can cope with arbitrary-length error messages.
      Intermediate strings are built with static functions and then passed to
      the actual constructor.

caught.,exception}

@brief exception indicating a parse error

This exception is thrown by the library when a parse error occurs. Parse errors
can occur during the deserialization of JSON text, CBOR, MessagePack, as well
as when using JSON Patch.

Member @a byte holds the byte index of the last read character in the input
file.

Exceptions have ids 1xx.

name / id                      | example message | description
------------------------------ | --------------- | -------------------------
json.exception.parse_error.101 | parse error at 2: unexpected end of input; expected string literal | This error indicates a syntax error while deserializing a JSON text. The error message describes that an unexpected token (character) was encountered, and the member @a byte indicates the error position.
json.exception.parse_error.102 | parse error at 14: missing or wrong low surrogate | JSON uses the `\uxxxx` format to describe Unicode characters. Code points above above 0xFFFF are split into two `\uxxxx` entries ("surrogate pairs"). This error indicates that the surrogate pair is incomplete or contains an invalid code point.
json.exception.parse_error.103 | parse error: code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid | Unicode supports code points up to 0x10FFFF. Code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid.
json.exception.parse_error.104 | parse error: JSON patch must be an array of objects | [RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902) requires a JSON Patch document to be a JSON document that represents an array of objects.
json.exception.parse_error.105 | parse error: operation must have string member 'op' | An operation of a JSON Patch document must contain exactly one "op" member, whose value indicates the operation to perform. Its value must be one of "add", "remove", "replace", "move", "copy", or "test"; other values are errors.
json.exception.parse_error.106 | parse error: array index '01' must not begin with '0' | An array index in a JSON Pointer ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) may be `0` or any number without a leading `0`.
json.exception.parse_error.107 | parse error: JSON pointer must be empty or begin with '/' - was: 'foo' | A JSON Pointer must be a Unicode string containing a sequence of zero or more reference tokens, each prefixed by a `/` character.
json.exception.parse_error.108 | parse error: escape character '~' must be followed with '0' or '1' | In a JSON Pointer, only `~0` and `~1` are valid escape sequences.
json.exception.parse_error.109 | parse error: array index 'one' is not a number | A JSON Pointer array index must be a number.
json.exception.parse_error.110 | parse error at 1: cannot read 2 bytes from vector | When parsing CBOR or MessagePack, the byte vector ends before the complete value has been read.
json.exception.parse_error.112 | parse error at 1: error reading CBOR; last byte: 0xF8 | Not all types of CBOR or MessagePack are supported. This exception occurs if an unsupported byte was read.
json.exception.parse_error.113 | parse error at 2: expected a CBOR string; last byte: 0x98 | While parsing a map key, a value that is not a string has been read.
json.exception.parse_error.114 | parse error: Unsupported BSON record type 0x0F | The parsing of the corresponding BSON record type is not implemented (yet).

@note For an input with n bytes, 1 is the index of the first character and n+1
      is the index of the terminating null byte or the end of file. This also
      holds true when reading a byte vector (CBOR or MessagePack).

json.exception.invalid_iterator.202 | iterator does not fit current value | In an erase or insert function, the passed iterator @a pos does not belong to the JSON value for which the function was called. It hence does not define a valid position for the deletion/insertion.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.203 | iterators do not fit current value | Either iterator passed to function @ref erase(IteratorType first, IteratorType last) does not belong to the JSON value from which values shall be erased. It hence does not define a valid range to delete values from.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.204 | iterators out of range | When an iterator range for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to a constructor or an erase function, this range has to be exactly (@ref begin(), @ref end()), because this is the only way the single stored value is expressed. All other ranges are invalid.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.205 | iterator out of range | When an iterator for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to an erase function, the iterator has to be the @ref begin() iterator, because it is the only way to address the stored value. All other iterators are invalid.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.206 | cannot construct with iterators from null | The iterators passed to constructor @ref basic_json(InputIT first, InputIT last) belong to a JSON null value and hence to not define a valid range.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.207 | cannot use key() for non-object iterators | The key() member function can only be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because other types do not have a concept of a key.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.208 | cannot use operator[] for object iterators | The operator[] to specify a concrete offset cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.209 | cannot use offsets with object iterators | The offset operators (+, -, +=, -=) cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.210 | iterators do not fit | The iterator range passed to the insert function are not compatible, meaning they do not belong to the same container. Therefore, the range (@a first, @a last) is invalid.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.211 | passed iterators may not belong to container | The iterator range passed to the insert function must not be a subrange of the container to insert to.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.212 | cannot compare iterators of different containers | When two iterators are compared, they must belong to the same container.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.213 | cannot compare order of object iterators | The order of object iterators cannot be compared, because JSON objects are unordered.

other exception types.

Exceptions have ids 5xx.

name / id                      | example message | description
------------------------------ | --------------- | -------------------------
json.exception.other_error.501 | unsuccessful: {"op":"test","path":"/baz", "value":"bar"} | A JSON Patch operation 'test' failed. The unsuccessful operation is also printed.

/*!
@brief the JSON type enumeration

This enumeration collects the different JSON types. It is internally used to
distinguish the stored values, and the functions @ref basic_json::is_null(),
@ref basic_json::is_object(), @ref basic_json::is_array(),
@ref basic_json::is_string(), @ref basic_json::is_boolean(),
@ref basic_json::is_number() (with @ref basic_json::is_number_integer(),
@ref basic_json::is_number_unsigned(), and @ref basic_json::is_number_float()),
@ref basic_json::is_discarded(), @ref basic_json::is_primitive(), and
@ref basic_json::is_structured() rely on it.

@note There are three enumeration entries (number_integer, number_unsigned, and
number_float), because the library distinguishes these three types for numbers:
@ref basic_json::number_unsigned_t is used for unsigned integers,
@ref basic_json::number_integer_t is used for signed integers, and
@ref basic_json::number_float_t is used for floating-point numbers or to
approximate integers which do not fit in the limits of their respective type.

@sa @ref basic_json::basic_json(const value_t value_type) -- create a JSON
value with the default value for a given type

@since version 1.0.0

@brief abstract input adapter interface

Produces a stream of std::char_traits<char>::int_type characters from a
std::istream, a buffer, or some other input type. Accepts the return of
exactly one non-EOF character for future input. The int_type characters
returned consist of all valid char values as positive values (typically
unsigned char), plus an EOF value outside that range, specified by the value
of the function std::char_traits<char>::eof(). This value is typically -1, but
could be any arbitrary value which is not a valid char value.

Input adapter for a (caching) istream. Ignores a UFT Byte Order Mark at

subsequent use of standard std::istream operations to process any input
characters following those used in parsing the JSON input.  Clears the
std::istream flags; any input errors (e.g., EOF) will be detected by the first

    @brief scan a number literal

    This function scans a string according to Sect. 6 of RFC 7159.

    The function is realized with a deterministic finite state machine derived
    from the grammar described in RFC 7159. Starting in state "init", the
    input is read and used to determined the next state. Only state "done"
    accepts the number. State "error" is a trap state to model errors. In the
    table below, "anything" means any character but the ones listed before.

    state    | 0        | 1-9      | e E      | +       | -       | .        | anything
    ---------|----------|----------|----------|---------|---------|----------|-----------
    init     | zero     | any1     | [error]  | [error] | minus   | [error]  | [error]
    minus    | zero     | any1     | [error]  | [error] | [error] | [error]  | [error]
    zero     | done     | done     | exponent | done    | done    | decimal1 | done
    any1     | any1     | any1     | exponent | done    | done    | decimal1 | done
    decimal1 | decimal2 | [error]  | [error]  | [error] | [error] | [error]  | [error]
    decimal2 | decimal2 | decimal2 | exponent | done    | done    | done     | done
    exponent | any2     | any2     | [error]  | sign    | sign    | [error]  | [error]
    sign     | any2     | any2     | [error]  | [error] | [error] | [error]  | [error]
    any2     | any2     | any2     | done     | done    | done    | done     | done

    The state machine is realized with one label per state (prefixed with
    "scan_number_") and `goto` statements between them. The state machine
    contains cycles, but any cycle can be left when EOF is read. Therefore,
    the function is guaranteed to terminate.

    During scanning, the read bytes are stored in token_buffer. This string is
    then converted to a signed integer, an unsigned integer, or a
    floating-point number.

    @return token_type::value_unsigned, token_type::value_integer, or
            token_type::value_float if number could be successfully scanned,
            token_type::parse_error otherwise

    @note The scanner is independent of the current locale. Internally, the
          locale's decimal point is used instead of `.` to work with the
          locale-dependent converters.

@brief an iterator for primitive JSON types

This class models an iterator for primitive JSON types (boolean, number,
string). It's only purpose is to allow the iterator/const_iterator classes
to "iterate" over primitive values. Internally, the iterator is modeled by
a `difference_type` variable. Value begin_value (`0`) models the begin,
end_value (`1`) models past the end.

/*!
@brief a template for a bidirectional iterator for the @ref basic_json class

This class implements a both iterators (iterator and const_iterator) for the
@ref basic_json class.

@note An iterator is called *initialized* when a pointer to a JSON value has
      been set (e.g., by a constructor or a copy assignment). If the iterator is
      default-constructed, it is *uninitialized* and most methods are undefined.
      **The library uses assertions to detect calls on uninitialized iterators.**

@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
-
[BidirectionalIterator](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/BidirectionalIterator):
  The iterator that can be moved can be moved in both directions (i.e.
  incremented and decremented).

@since version 1.0.0, simplified in version 2.0.9, change to bidirectional
       iterators in version 3.0.0 (see https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/593)

@brief a template for a reverse iterator class

@tparam Base the base iterator type to reverse. Valid types are @ref
iterator (to create @ref reverse_iterator) and @ref const_iterator (to
create @ref const_reverse_iterator).

@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
-
[BidirectionalIterator](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/BidirectionalIterator):
  The iterator that can be moved can be moved in both directions (i.e.
  incremented and decremented).
- [OutputIterator](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/OutputIterator):
  It is possible to write to the pointed-to element (only if @a Base is
  @ref iterator).

// The conversion of p1 into decimal form requires a series of divisions and
// modulos by (a power of) 10. These operations are faster for 32-bit than for
// 64-bit integers, so p1 should ideally fit into a 32-bit integer. This can be
// achieved by choosing
//
//      -e >= 32   or   e <= -32 := gamma

//
//      p2 * 2^e = p2 / 2^-e = d[-1] / 10^1 + d[-2] / 10^2 + ...
//
// into decimal form, the fraction is repeatedly multiplied by 10 and the digits

//
//      (10 * p2) div 2^-e = d[-1]
//      (10 * p2) mod 2^-e = d[-2] / 10^1 + ...
//
// The multiplication by 10 must not overflow. It is sufficient to choose
//
//      10 * p2 < 16 * p2 = 2^4 * p2 <= 2^64.

@brief a class to store JSON values

@tparam ObjectType type for JSON objects (`std::map` by default; will be used
in @ref object_t)
@tparam ArrayType type for JSON arrays (`std::vector` by default; will be used
in @ref array_t)
@tparam StringType type for JSON strings and object keys (`std::string` by
default; will be used in @ref string_t)
@tparam BooleanType type for JSON booleans (`bool` by default; will be used
in @ref boolean_t)
@tparam NumberIntegerType type for JSON integer numbers (`int64_t` by
default; will be used in @ref number_integer_t)
@tparam NumberUnsignedType type for JSON unsigned integer numbers (@c
`uint64_t` by default; will be used in @ref number_unsigned_t)
@tparam NumberFloatType type for JSON floating-point numbers (`double` by
default; will be used in @ref number_float_t)
@tparam AllocatorType type of the allocator to use (`std::allocator` by
default)
@tparam JSONSerializer the serializer to resolve internal calls to `to_json()`
and `from_json()` (@ref adl_serializer by default)

@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
- Basic
 - [DefaultConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible):
   JSON values can be default constructed. The result will be a JSON null
   value.
 - [MoveConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/MoveConstructible):
   A JSON value can be constructed from an rvalue argument.
 - [CopyConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyConstructible):
   A JSON value can be copy-constructed from an lvalue expression.
 - [MoveAssignable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/MoveAssignable):
   A JSON value van be assigned from an rvalue argument.
 - [CopyAssignable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyAssignable):
   A JSON value can be copy-assigned from an lvalue expression.
 - [Destructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Destructible):
   JSON values can be destructed.
- Layout
 - [StandardLayoutType](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/StandardLayoutType):
   JSON values have
   [standard layout](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/data_members#Standard_layout):
   All non-static data members are private and standard layout types, the
   class has no virtual functions or (virtual) base classes.
- Library-wide
 - [EqualityComparable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/EqualityComparable):
   JSON values can be compared with `==`, see @ref
   operator==(const_reference,const_reference).
 - [LessThanComparable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/LessThanComparable):
   JSON values can be compared with `<`, see @ref
   operator<(const_reference,const_reference).
 - [Swappable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Swappable):
   Any JSON lvalue or rvalue of can be swapped with any lvalue or rvalue of
   other compatible types, using unqualified function call @ref swap().
 - [NullablePointer](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/NullablePointer):
   JSON values can be compared against `std::nullptr_t` objects which are used
   to model the `null` value.
- Container
 - [Container](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Container):
   JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide iterator access.
 - [ReversibleContainer](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/ReversibleContainer);
   JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide reverse iterator
   access.

@invariant The member variables @a m_value and @a m_type have the following
relationship:
- If `m_type == value_t::object`, then `m_value.object != nullptr`.
- If `m_type == value_t::array`, then `m_value.array != nullptr`.
- If `m_type == value_t::string`, then `m_value.string != nullptr`.
The invariants are checked by member function assert_invariant().

    @brief a type for an object

    [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes JSON objects as follows:
    > An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs,
    > where a name is a string and a value is a string, number, boolean, null,
    > object, or array.

    To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameters
    described below.

    @tparam ObjectType  the container to store objects (e.g., `std::map` or
    `std::unordered_map`)
    @tparam StringType the type of the keys or names (e.g., `std::string`).
    The comparison function `std::less<StringType>` is used to order elements
    inside the container.
    @tparam AllocatorType the allocator to use for objects (e.g.,
    `std::allocator`)

    #### Default type

    With the default values for @a ObjectType (`std::map`), @a StringType
    (`std::string`), and @a AllocatorType (`std::allocator`), the default
    value for @a object_t is:

    @code {.cpp}
    std::map<
      std::string, // key_type
      basic_json, // value_type
      std::less<std::string>, // key_compare
      std::allocator<std::pair<const std::string, basic_json>> // allocator_type
    >
    @endcode

    #### Behavior

    The choice of @a object_t influences the behavior of the JSON class. With
    the default type, objects have the following behavior:

    - When all names are unique, objects will be interoperable in the sense
      that all software implementations receiving that object will agree on
      the name-value mappings.
    - When the names within an object are not unique, it is unspecified which
      one of the values for a given key will be chosen. For instance,
      `{"key": 2, "key": 1}` could be equal to either `{"key": 1}` or
      `{"key": 2}`.
    - Internally, name/value pairs are stored in lexicographical order of the
      names. Objects will also be serialized (see @ref dump) in this order.
      For instance, `{"b": 1, "a": 2}` and `{"a": 2, "b": 1}` will be stored
      and serialized as `{"a": 2, "b": 1}`.
    - When comparing objects, the order of the name/value pairs is irrelevant.
      This makes objects interoperable in the sense that they will not be
      affected by these differences. For instance, `{"b": 1, "a": 2}` and
      `{"a": 2, "b": 1}` will be treated as equal.

    #### Limits

    [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
    > An implementation may set limits on the maximum depth of nesting.

    In this class, the object's limit of nesting is not explicitly constrained.
    However, a maximum depth of nesting may be introduced by the compiler or
    runtime environment. A theoretical limit can be queried by calling the
    @ref max_size function of a JSON object.

    #### Storage

    Objects are stored as pointers in a @ref basic_json type. That is, for any
    access to object values, a pointer of type `object_t*` must be
    dereferenced.

    @sa @ref array_t -- type for an array value

    @since version 1.0.0

    @note The order name/value pairs are added to the object is *not*
    preserved by the library. Therefore, iterating an object may return
    name/value pairs in a different order than they were originally stored. In
    fact, keys will be traversed in alphabetical order as `std::map` with
    `std::less` is used by default. Please note this behavior conforms to [RFC
    7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159), because any order implements the
    specified "unordered" nature of JSON objects.

    To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameters
    explained below.

    @brief a type for a string

    [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes JSON strings as follows:
    > A string is a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters.

    To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameter
    described below. Unicode values are split by the JSON class into
    byte-sized characters during deserialization.

    @tparam StringType  the container to store strings (e.g., `std::string`).
    Note this container is used for keys/names in objects, see @ref object_t.

    #### Default type

    With the default values for @a StringType (`std::string`), the default
    value for @a string_t is:

    @code {.cpp}
    std::string
    @endcode

    #### Encoding

    Strings are stored in UTF-8 encoding. Therefore, functions like
    `std::string::size()` or `std::string::length()` return the number of
    bytes in the string rather than the number of characters or glyphs.

    #### String comparison

    [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) states:
    > Software implementations are typically required to test names of object
    > members for equality. Implementations that transform the textual
    > representation into sequences of Unicode code units and then perform the

    > strings with escaped characters unconverted may incorrectly find that
    > `"a\\b"` and `"a\u005Cb"` are not equal.

    This implementation is interoperable as it does compare strings code unit
    by code unit.

    #### Storage

    @brief a type for a number (integer)

    > cannot be represented in the grammar below (such as Infinity and NaN)
    > are not permitted.

    This description includes both integer and floating-point numbers.
    However, C++ allows more precise storage if it is known whether the number
    is a signed integer, an unsigned integer or a floating-point number.
    Therefore, three different types, @ref number_integer_t, @ref
    number_unsigned_t and @ref number_float_t are used.

    To store integer numbers in C++, a type is defined by the template
    parameter @a NumberIntegerType which chooses the type to use.

    #### Default type

    With the default values for @a NumberIntegerType (`int64_t`), the default
    value for @a number_integer_t is:

    @code {.cpp}
    int64_t
    @endcode

    #### Default behavior

    - The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead,
      leading zeros in integer literals lead to an interpretation as octal
      number. Internally, the value will be stored as decimal number. For
      instance, the C++ integer literal `010` will be serialized to `8`.
      During deserialization, leading zeros yield an error.
    - Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to `null`.

    #### Limits

    [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
    > An implementation may set limits on the range and precision of numbers.

    When the default type is used, the maximal integer number that can be
    stored is `9223372036854775807` (INT64_MAX) and the minimal integer number
    that can be stored is `-9223372036854775808` (INT64_MIN). Integer numbers
    that are out of range will yield over/underflow when used in a
    constructor. During deserialization, too large or small integer numbers
    will be automatically be stored as @ref number_unsigned_t or @ref
    number_float_t.

    [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) further states:
    > Note that when such software is used, numbers that are integers and are
    > in the range \f$[-2^{53}+1, 2^{53}-1]\f$ are interoperable in the sense
    > that implementations will agree exactly on their numeric values.

    As this range is a subrange of the exactly supported range [INT64_MIN,
    INT64_MAX], this class's integer type is interoperable.

    To store unsigned integer numbers in C++, a type is defined by the
    template parameter @a NumberUnsignedType which chooses the type to use.

    This implementation does exactly follow this approach, as it uses double
    precision floating-point numbers. Note values smaller than
    `-1.79769313486232e+308` and values greater than `1.79769313486232e+308`

    @brief per-element parser callback type

    With a parser callback function, the result of parsing a JSON text can be
    influenced. When passed to @ref parse, it is called on certain events
    (passed as @ref parse_event_t via parameter @a event) with a set recursion
    depth @a depth and context JSON value @a parsed. The return value of the
    callback function is a boolean indicating whether the element that emitted
    the callback shall be kept or not.

    We distinguish six scenarios (determined by the event type) in which the
    callback function can be called. The following table describes the values
    of the parameters @a depth, @a event, and @a parsed.

    parameter @a event | description | parameter @a depth | parameter @a parsed
    ------------------ | ----------- | ------------------ | -------------------
    parse_event_t::object_start | the parser read `{` and started to process a JSON object | depth of the parent of the JSON object | a JSON value with type discarded
    parse_event_t::key | the parser read a key of a value in an object | depth of the currently parsed JSON object | a JSON string containing the key
    parse_event_t::object_end | the parser read `}` and finished processing a JSON object | depth of the parent of the JSON object | the parsed JSON object
    parse_event_t::array_start | the parser read `[` and started to process a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | a JSON value with type discarded
    parse_event_t::array_end | the parser read `]` and finished processing a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | the parsed JSON array
    parse_event_t::value | the parser finished reading a JSON value | depth of the value | the parsed JSON value

    @image html callback_events.png "Example when certain parse events are triggered"

    Discarding a value (i.e., returning `false`) has different effects
    depending on the context in which function was called:

    - Discarded values in structured types are skipped. That is, the parser
      will behave as if the discarded value was never read.
    - In case a value outside a structured type is skipped, it is replaced
      with `null`. This case happens if the top-level element is skipped.

    @param[in] depth  the depth of the recursion during parsing

    @param[in] event  an event of type parse_event_t indicating the context in
    the callback function has been called

    @param[in,out] parsed  the current intermediate parse result; note that
    writing to this value has no effect for parse_event_t::key events

    @return Whether the JSON value which called the function during parsing
    should be kept (`true`) or not (`false`). In the latter case, it is either
    skipped completely or replaced by an empty discarded object.

      containers such as `std::map`, `std::unordered_map`, `std::multimap`,
      and `std::unordered_multimap` with a `key_type` compatible to
      @ref string_t and a `value_type` from which a @ref basic_json value can
      be constructed.
    - **strings**: @ref string_t, string literals, and all compatible string
      containers can be used.
    - **numbers**: @ref number_integer_t, @ref number_unsigned_t,
      @ref number_float_t, and all convertible number types such as `int`,
      `size_t`, `int64_t`, `float` or `double` can be used.
    - **boolean**: @ref boolean_t / `bool` can be used.

    @brief create a container (array or object) from an initializer list

    Creates a JSON value of type array or object from the passed initializer
    list @a init. In case @a type_deduction is `true` (default), the type of
    the JSON value to be created is deducted from the initializer list @a init
    according to the following rules:

    1. If the list is empty, an empty JSON object value `{}` is created.
    2. If the list consists of pairs whose first element is a string, a JSON
       object value is created where the first elements of the pairs are
       treated as keys and the second elements are as values.
    3. In all other cases, an array is created.

    The rules aim to create the best fit between a C++ initializer list and
    JSON values. The rationale is as follows:

    1. The empty initializer list is written as `{}` which is exactly an empty
       JSON object.
    2. C++ has no way of describing mapped types other than to list a list of
       pairs. As JSON requires that keys must be of type string, rule 2 is the
       weakest constraint one can pose on initializer lists to interpret them
       as an object.
    3. In all other cases, the initializer list could not be interpreted as
       JSON object type, so interpreting it as JSON array type is safe.

    With the rules described above, the following JSON values cannot be
    expressed by an initializer list:

    - the empty array (`[]`): use @ref array(initializer_list_t)
      with an empty initializer list in this case
    - arrays whose elements satisfy rule 2: use @ref
      array(initializer_list_t) with the same initializer list
      in this case

    @note When used without parentheses around an empty initializer list, @ref
    basic_json() is called instead of this function, yielding the JSON null
    value.

    @param[in] init  initializer list with JSON values

    @param[in] type_deduction internal parameter; when set to `true`, the type
    of the JSON value is deducted from the initializer list @a init; when set
    to `false`, the type provided via @a manual_type is forced. This mode is
    used by the functions @ref array(initializer_list_t) and
    @ref object(initializer_list_t).

    @param[in] manual_type internal parameter; when @a type_deduction is set
    to `false`, the created JSON value will use the provided type (only @ref
    value_t::array and @ref value_t::object are valid); when @a type_deduction
    is set to `true`, this parameter has no effect

    @throw type_error.301 if @a type_deduction is `false`, @a manual_type is
    `value_t::object`, but @a init contains an element which is not a pair
    whose first element is a string. In this case, the constructor could not
    create an object. If @a type_deduction would have be `true`, an array
    would have been created. See @ref object(initializer_list_t)
    for an example.

    @complexity Linear in the size of the initializer list @a init.

    @brief serialization

    Serialization function for JSON values. The function tries to mimic
    Python's `json.dumps()` function, and currently supports its @a indent
    and @a ensure_ascii parameters.

    @param[in] indent If indent is nonnegative, then array elements and object
    members will be pretty-printed with that indent level. An indent level of
    `0` will only insert newlines. `-1` (the default) selects the most compact
    representation.
    @param[in] indent_char The character to use for indentation if @a indent is
    greater than `0`. The default is ` ` (space).
    @param[in] ensure_ascii If @a ensure_ascii is true, all non-ASCII characters
    in the output are escaped with `\uXXXX` sequences, and the result consists
    of ASCII characters only.
    @param[in] error_handler  how to react on decoding errors; there are three
    possible values: `strict` (throws and exception in case a decoding error
    occurs; default), `replace` (replace invalid UTF-8 sequences with U+FFFD),
    and `ignore` (ignore invalid UTF-8 sequences during serialization).

    @return string containing the serialization of the JSON value

    @throw type_error.316 if a string stored inside the JSON value is not
                          UTF-8 encoded

    @complexity Linear.

    @exceptionsafety Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no
    changes in the JSON value.

    @liveexample{The following example shows the effect of different @a indent\,
    @a indent_char\, and @a ensure_ascii parameters to the result of the
    serialization.,dump}

    @brief create a CBOR serialization of a given JSON value

    Serializes a given JSON value @a j to a byte vector using the CBOR (Concise
    Binary Object Representation) serialization format. CBOR is a binary
    serialization format which aims to be more compact than JSON itself, yet
    more efficient to parse.

    The library uses the following mapping from JSON values types to
    CBOR types according to the CBOR specification (RFC 7049):

    JSON value type | value/range                                | CBOR type                          | first byte

          can be converted to a UBJSON value.

    @note The following values can **not** be converted to a UBJSON value:
          - strings with more than 9223372036854775807 bytes (theoretical)
          - unsigned integer numbers above 9223372036854775807

    @note The following markers are not used in the conversion:
          - `Z`: no-op values are not created.
          - `C`: single-byte strings are serialized with `S` markers.

    @note Any UBJSON output created @ref to_ubjson can be successfully parsed
          by @ref from_ubjson.

    @note If NaN or Infinity are stored inside a JSON number, they are
          serialized properly. This behavior differs from the @ref dump()
          function which serializes NaN or Infinity to `null`.

    @note The optimized formats for containers are supported: Parameter
          @a use_size adds size information to the beginning of a container and
          removes the closing marker. Parameter @a use_type further checks
          whether all elements of a container have the same type and adds the
          type marker to the beginning of the container. The @a use_type
          parameter must only be used together with @a use_size = true. Note
          that @a use_size = true alone may result in larger representations -
          the benefit of this parameter is that the receiving side is
          immediately informed on the number of elements of the container.

    @brief creates a diff as a JSON patch

    Creates a [JSON Patch](http://jsonpatch.com) so that value @a source can
    be changed into the value @a target by calling @ref patch function.

    @invariant For two JSON values @a source and @a target, the following code
    yields always `true`:
    @code {.cpp}
    source.patch(diff(source, target)) == target;
    @endcode

    @note Currently, only `remove`, `add`, and `replace` operations are
          generated.

    @param[in] source  JSON value to compare from
    @param[in] target  JSON value to compare against
    @param[in] path    helper value to create JSON pointers

    @return a JSON patch to convert the @a source to @a target

    @complexity Linear in the lengths of @a source and @a target.

    @brief applies a JSON Merge Patch

    The merge patch format is primarily intended for use with the HTTP PATCH
    method as a means of describing a set of modifications to a target
    resource's content. This function applies a merge patch to the current
    JSON value.

    The function implements the following algorithm from Section 2 of
    [RFC 7396 (JSON Merge Patch)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396):

    ```
    define MergePatch(Target, Patch):
      if Patch is an Object:
        if Target is not an Object:
          Target = {} // Ignore the contents and set it to an empty Object
        for each Name/Value pair in Patch:
          if Value is null:
            if Name exists in Target:
              remove the Name/Value pair from Target
          else:
            Target[Name] = MergePatch(Target[Name], Value)
        return Target
      else:
        return Patch
    ```

    Thereby, `Target` is the current object; that is, the patch is applied to
    the current value.

    @param[in] patch  the patch to apply

    @complexity Linear in the lengths of @a patch.

    a JSON document.,merge_patch}
