@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.

@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.

@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.201 | iterators are not compatible | The iterators passed to constructor @ref basic_json(InputIT first, InputIT last) 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.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.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.214 | cannot get value | Cannot get value for iterator: Either the iterator belongs to a null value or it is an iterator to a primitive type (number, boolean, or string), but the iterator is different to @ref begin().

internal compiler errors). Only use it when you have to (see example ahead).

@brief Helper to determine whether there's a key_type for T.

This helper is used to tell associative containers apart from other containers
such as sequence containers. For instance, `std::map` passes the test as it
contains a `mapped_type`, whereas `std::vector` fails the test.

@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.

    @brief get codepoint from 4 hex characters following `\u`

    For input "\u c1 c2 c3 c4" the codepoint is:
      (c1 * 0x1000) + (c2 * 0x0100) + (c3 * 0x0010) + c4
    = (c1 << 12) + (c2 << 8) + (c3 << 4) + (c4 << 0)

    Furthermore, the possible characters '0'..'9', 'A'..'F', and 'a'..'f'
    must be converted to the integers 0x0..0x9, 0xA..0xF, 0xA..0xF, resp. The

    between the ASCII value of the character and the desired integer value.

    @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 yytext. 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](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/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)

create @ref const_reverse_iterator).

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

@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
- Basic
 - [DefaultConstructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/DefaultConstructible):
   JSON values can be default constructed. The result will be a JSON null
   value.
 - [MoveConstructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/MoveConstructible):
   A JSON value can be constructed from an rvalue argument.
 - [CopyConstructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/CopyConstructible):
   A JSON value can be copy-constructed from an lvalue expression.
 - [MoveAssignable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/MoveAssignable):
   A JSON value van be assigned from an rvalue argument.
 - [CopyAssignable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/CopyAssignable):
   A JSON value can be copy-assigned from an lvalue expression.
 - [Destructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Destructible):
   JSON values can be destructed.
- Layout
 - [StandardLayoutType](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/StandardLayoutType):
   JSON values have
   [standard layout](http://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](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/EqualityComparable):
   JSON values can be compared with `==`, see @ref
   operator==(const_reference,const_reference).
 - [LessThanComparable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/LessThanComparable):
   JSON values can be compared with `<`, see @ref
   operator<(const_reference,const_reference).
 - [Swappable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/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](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/NullablePointer):
   JSON values can be compared against `std::nullptr_t` objects which are used
   to model the `null` value.
- Container
 - [Container](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Container):
   JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide iterator access.
 - [ReversibleContainer](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/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}

    #### 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, later stored name/value
      pairs overwrite previously stored name/value pairs, leaving the used
      names unique. For instance, `{"key": 1}` and `{"key": 2, "key": 1}` will
      be treated as equal and both stored as `{"key": 1}`.
    - 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.

    @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

    #### 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

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

    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.

    #### 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:

    @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.

      and `std::unordered_multimap` with a `key_type` compatible to

      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.

    See the examples below.

    @tparam CompatibleType a type such that:
    - @a CompatibleType is not derived from `std::istream`,
    - @a CompatibleType is not @ref basic_json (to avoid hijacking copy/move

    @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.

        // "it" is of type json::reference and has no key() member

    - strings with character/literal type with size of 1 byte
    - input streams
    - container with contiguous storage of 1-byte values. Compatible container
      types include `std::vector`, `std::string`, `std::array`,
      `std::valarray`, and `std::initializer_list`. Furthermore, C-style
      arrays can be used with `std::begin()`/`std::end()`. User-defined
      containers can be used as long as they implement random-access iterators
      and a contiguous storage.

    @pre Each element of the container has a size of 1 byte. Violating this
    precondition yields undefined behavior. **This precondition is enforced

    @pre Each element of the container has a size of 1 byte. Violating this

    @brief deserialize from an iterator range with contiguous storage

    This function reads from an iterator range of a container with contiguous
    storage of 1-byte values. Compatible container types include
    `std::vector`, `std::string`, `std::array`, `std::valarray`, and
    `std::initializer_list`. Furthermore, C-style arrays can be used with
    `std::begin()`/`std::end()`. User-defined containers can be used as long
    as they implement random-access iterators and a contiguous storage.

    @pre The iterator range is contiguous. Violating this precondition yields
    undefined behavior. **This precondition is enforced with an assertion.**
    @pre Each element in the range has a size of 1 byte. Violating this
    precondition yields undefined behavior. **This precondition is enforced
    with a static assertion.**

    @warning There is no way to enforce all preconditions at compile-time. If
             the function is called with noncompliant iterators and with
             assertions switched off, the behavior is undefined and will most
             likely yield segmentation violation.

    @param[in] last  end of the range to parse (excluded)

    which is used to control the deserialization by filtering unwanted values

    @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

    more efficient to parse.

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

    @note The mapping is **complete** in the sense that any JSON value type
          can be converted to a CBOR value.

    @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 following CBOR types are not used in the conversion:

    @brief applies a JSON patch

    [JSON Patch](http://jsonpatch.com) defines a JSON document structure for
    expressing a sequence of operations to apply to a JSON) document. With
    this function, a JSON Patch is applied to the current JSON value by
    executing all operations from the patch.

    @param[in] json_patch  JSON patch document
    @return patched document

    @note The application of a patch is atomic: Either all operations succeed
          and the patched document is returned or an exception is thrown. In
          any case, the original value is not changed: the patch is applied
          to a copy of the value.

    @throw parse_error.104 if the JSON patch does not consist of an array of
    objects

    @throw parse_error.105 if the JSON patch is malformed (e.g., mandatory
    attributes are missing); example: `"operation add must have member path"`

    @throw out_of_range.401 if an array index is out of range.

    @throw out_of_range.403 if a JSON pointer inside the patch could not be
    resolved successfully in the current JSON value; example: `"key baz not
    found"`

    @throw out_of_range.405 if JSON pointer has no parent ("add", "remove",
    "move")

    @throw other_error.501 if "test" operation was unsuccessful

    @complexity Linear in the size of the JSON value and the length of the
    JSON patch. As usually only a fraction of the JSON value is affected by
    the patch, the complexity can usually be neglected.

    value.,patch}
