## Nomenclature
We use the term "JSON" when we mean the [JavaScript Object Notation](http://json.org); that is, the file format. When we talk about the class implementing our library, we use "`JSON`" (typewriter font). Instances of this class are called "`JSON` values" to differentiate them from "JSON objects"; that is, unordered mappings, hashes, and whatnot.

## Types and default values

| JSON type | value_type | C++ type | type alias | default value |

| null | `value_type::null` | `nullptr_t` | - | `nullptr` |
| string | `value_type::string` | `std::string` | `JSON::string_t` | `""` |
| number (integer) | `value_type::number` | `int` | `JSON::number_t` | `0` |

The second column list entries of an enumeration `value_type` which can be queried by calling `type()` on a `JSON` value. The column "C++ types" list the internal type that is used to represent the respective JSON value. The "type alias" column furthermore lists type aliases that are used in the `JSON` class to allow for more flexibility. The last column list the default value; that is, the value that is set if none is passed to the constructor or that is set if `clear()` is called.

## Type conversions
@ -28,21 +28,21 @@ There are only a few type conversions possible:
- Any value (i.e., boolean, string, number, null) but JSON objects can be translated into an array. The result is a singleton array that consists of the value before.
- Any other conversion will throw a `std::logic_error` exception.
When compatible, `JSON` values **implicitly convert** to `std::string`, `int`, `double`, `JSON::array_t`, and `JSON::object_t`. Furthermore, **explicit type conversion** is possible using the `get<>()` function with the aforementioned types.

`JSON` values can be created from many literals and variable types:
