 - As the exact type of a number is not defined in the [JSON specification](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159), this library tries to choose the best fitting C++ number type automatically.

+# amalgamate.py - Amalgamate C source and header files
+
+Origin: https://bitbucket.org/erikedlund/amalgamate
+
+Mirror: https://github.com/edlund/amalgamate
+
+`amalgamate.py` aims to make it easy to use SQLite-style C source and header
+amalgamation in projects.
+
+For more information, please refer to: http://sqlite.org/amalgamation.html
+
+## Here be dragons
+
+`amalgamate.py` is quite dumb, it only knows the bare minimum about C code
+required in order to be able to handle trivial include directives. It can
+produce weird results for unexpected code.
+
+Things to be aware of:
+
+`amalgamate.py` will not handle complex include directives correctly:
+
+        #define HEADER_PATH "path/to/header.h"
+        #include HEADER_PATH
+
+In the above example, `path/to/header.h` will not be included in the
+amalgamation (HEADER_PATH is never expanded).
+
+`amalgamate.py` makes the assumption that each source and header file which
+is not empty will end in a new-line character, which is not immediately
+preceded by a backslash character (see 5.1.1.2p1.2 of ISO C99).
+
+`amalgamate.py` should be usable with C++ code, but raw string literals from
+C++11 will definitely cause problems:
+
+        R"delimiter(Terrible raw \ data " #include <sneaky.hpp>)delimiter"
+        R"delimiter(Terrible raw \ data " escaping)delimiter"
+
+In the examples above, `amalgamate.py` will stop parsing the raw string literal
+when it encounters the first quotation mark, which will produce unexpected
+results.
+
+## Installing amalgamate.py
+
+Python v.2.7.0 or higher is required.
+
+`amalgamate.py` can be tested and installed using the following commands:
+
+        ./test.sh && sudo -k cp ./amalgamate.py /usr/local/bin/
+
+## Using amalgamate.py
+
+        amalgamate.py [-v] -c path/to/config.json -s path/to/source/dir \
+                [-p path/to/prologue.(c|h)]
+
+ * The `-c, --config` option should specify the path to a JSON config file which
+   lists the source files, include paths and where to write the resulting
+   amalgamation. Have a look at `test/source.c.json` and `test/include.h.json`
+   to see two examples.
+
+ * The `-s, --source` option should specify the path to the source directory.
+   This is useful for supporting separate source and build directories.
+
+ * The `-p, --prologue` option should specify the path to a file which will be
+   added to the beginning of the amalgamation. It is optional.

+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

+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.

+value with the default value for a given type

 The container functions known from STL have been extended to support the different value types from JSON. However, not all functions can be applied to all value types. Note that the signature of some functions differ between the types; for instance, `at` may be called with either a string to address a key in an object or with an integer to address a value in an array.
 
+Note that this table only lists those exceptions thrown due to the type. For instance, the @link nlohmann::basic_json::at(const typename object_t::key_type & key) `at` @endlink function will always throw a @link nlohmann::basic_json::type_error `json::type_error` @endlink exception when called for a string type. When called for an array, it *may* throw an @link nlohmann::basic_json::out_of_range `json::out_of_range` @endlink exception if the passed index is invalid.

+JSON Patch Tests
+================
+
+These are test cases for implementations of [IETF JSON Patch (RFC6902)](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902).
+
+Some implementations can be found at [jsonpatch.com](http://jsonpatch.com).
+
+
+Test Format
+-----------
+
+Each test file is a JSON document that contains an array of test records. A
+test record is an object with the following members:
+
+- doc: The JSON document to test against
+- patch: The patch(es) to apply
+- expected: The expected resulting document, OR
+- error: A string describing an expected error
+- comment: A string describing the test
+- disabled: True if the test should be skipped
+
+All fields except 'doc' and 'patch' are optional. Test records consisting only
+of a comment are also OK.
+
+
+Files
+-----
+
+- tests.json: the main test file
+- spec_tests.json: tests from the RFC6902 spec
+
+
+Writing Tests
+-------------
+
+All tests should have a descriptive comment.  Tests should be as
+simple as possible - just what's required to test a specific piece of
+behavior.  If you want to test interacting behaviors, create tests for
+each behavior as well as the interaction.
+
+If an 'error' member is specified, the error text should describe the
+error the implementation should raise - *not* what's being tested.
+Implementation error strings will vary, but the suggested error should
+be easily matched to the implementation error string.  Try to avoid
+creating error tests that might pass because an incorrect error was
+reported.
+
+Please feel free to contribute!
+
+
+Credits
+-------
+
+The seed test set was adapted from Byron Ruth's
+[jsonpatch-js](https://github.com/bruth/jsonpatch-js/blob/master/test.js) and
+extended by [Mike McCabe](https://github.com/mikemccabe).
