Furthermore, you can define `JSON_ASSERT(x)` to replace calls to `assert(x)`.
 - As the exact type of a number is not defined in the [JSON specification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259.html), this library tries to choose the best fitting C++ number type automatically. As a result, the type `double` may be used to store numbers which may yield [**floating-point exceptions**](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/181) in certain rare situations if floating-point exceptions have been unmasked in the calling code. These exceptions are not caused by the library and need to be fixed in the calling code, such as by re-masking the exceptions prior to calling library functions.
 - The code can be compiled without C++ **runtime type identification** features; that is, you can use the `-fno-rtti` compiler flag.
 - **Exceptions** are used widely within the library. They can, however, be switched off with either using the compiler flag `-fno-exceptions` or by defining the symbol `JSON_NOEXCEPTION`. In this case, exceptions are replaced by `abort()` calls. You can further control this behavior by defining `JSON_THROW_USER´` (overriding `throw`), `JSON_TRY_USER` (overriding `try`), and `JSON_CATCH_USER` (overriding `catch`). Note that `JSON_THROW_USER` should leave the current scope (e.g., by throwing or aborting), as continuing after it may yield undefined behavior.

+# Supported Macros
+
+Some aspects of the library can be configured by defining preprocessor macros before including the `json.hpp` header.
+
+## `JSON_CATCH_USER(exception)`
+
+This macro overrides `#!cpp catch` calls inside the library. The argument is the type of the exception to catch. As of version 3.8.0, the library only catches `std::out_of_range` exceptions internally to rethrow them as [`json::out_of_range`](../home/exceptions.md#out-of-range) exceptions. The macro is always followed by a scope.
+
+See [Switch off exceptions](../home/exceptions.md#switch-off-exceptions) for an example.
+
+## `JSON_NOEXCEPTION`
+
+Exceptions can be switched off by defining the symbol `JSON_NOEXCEPTION`.
+When defining `JSON_NOEXCEPTION`, `#!cpp try` is replaced by `#!cpp if (true)`, 
+`#!cpp catch` is replaced by `#!cpp if (false)`, and `#!cpp throw` is replaced by `#!cpp std::abort()`.
+
+The same effect is achieved by setting the compiler flag `-fno-exceptions`.
+
+## `JSON_SKIP_UNSUPPORTED_COMPILER_CHECK`
+
+When defined, the library will not create a compile error when a known unsupported compiler is detected. This allows to use the library with compilers that do not fully support C++11 and may only work if unsupported features are not used.
+
+## `JSON_THROW_USER(exception)`
+
+This macro overrides `#!cpp throw` calls inside the library. The argument is the exception to be thrown. Note that `JSON_THROW_USER` should leave the current scope (e.g., by throwing or aborting), as continuing after it may yield undefined behavior.
+
+See [Switch off exceptions](../home/exceptions.md#switch-off-exceptions) for an example.
+
+## `JSON_TRY_USER`
+
+This macro overrides `#!cpp try` calls inside the library. It has no arguments and is always followed by a scope.
+
+See [Switch off exceptions](../home/exceptions.md#switch-off-exceptions) for an example.
+
+## `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE(type, member...)`
+
+This macro can be used to simplify the serialization/deserialization of types if (1) want to use a JSON object as serialization and (2) want to use the member variable names as object keys in that object.
+
+The macro is to be defined inside of the class/struct to create code for. Unlike [`NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_NON_INTRUSIVE`](#nlohmann_define_type_non_intrusivetype-member), it can access private members.
+The first parameter is the name of the class/struct, and all remaining parameters name the members.
+
+See [Simplify your life with macros](arbitrary_types.md#simplify-your-life-with-macros) for an example.
