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.

@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
> comparison numerically, code unit by code unit, are interoperable in the
> sense that implementations will agree in all cases on equality or
> inequality of two strings. For example, implementations that compare
> 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.

@brief a type for a number (integer)
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes numbers as follows:
> The representation of numbers is similar to that used in most
> programming languages. A number is represented in base 10 using decimal
> digits. It contains an integer component that may be prefixed with an
> optional minus sign, which may be followed by a fraction part and/or an
> exponent part. Leading zeros are not allowed. (...) Numeric values that
> 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.
#### Storage
Integer number values are stored directly inside a @ref basic_json type.

@brief a type for a number (unsigned)
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes numbers as follows:
> The representation of numbers is similar to that used in most
> programming languages. A number is represented in base 10 using decimal
> digits. It contains an integer component that may be prefixed with an
> optional minus sign, which may be followed by a fraction part and/or an
> exponent part. Leading zeros are not allowed. (...) Numeric values that
> 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 unsigned integer numbers in C++, a type is defined by the
template parameter @a NumberUnsignedType which chooses the type to use.
#### Default type
With the default values for @a NumberUnsignedType (`uint64_t`), the
default value for @a number_unsigned_t is:
@code {.cpp}
uint64_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 `18446744073709551615` (UINT64_MAX) and the minimal integer
number that can be stored is `0`. 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_integer_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 (when considered in conjunction with the
number_integer_t type) of the exactly supported range [0, UINT64_MAX],
this class's integer type is interoperable.
#### Storage
Integer number values are stored directly inside a @ref basic_json type.
@sa @ref number_float_t -- type for number values (floating-point)
@sa @ref number_integer_t -- type for number values (integer)

#### Default type
With the default values for @a NumberFloatType (`double`), the default
value for @a number_float_t is:
@code {.cpp}
double
@endcode
#### Default behavior
- The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead,
leading zeros in floating-point literals will be ignored. Internally,
the value will be stored as decimal number. For instance, the C++
floating-point literal `01.2` will be serialized to `1.2`. During
deserialization, leading zeros yield an error.
- Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to `null`.
#### Limits
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) states:
> This specification allows implementations to set limits on the range and
> precision of numbers accepted. Since software that implements IEEE
> 754-2008 binary64 (double precision) numbers is generally available and
> widely used, good interoperability can be achieved by implementations
> that expect no more precision or range than these provide, in the sense
> that implementations will approximate JSON numbers within the expected
> precision.
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`
will be stored as NaN internally and be serialized to `null`.
#### Storage
Floating-point number values are stored directly inside a @ref basic_json
type.

@brief a type for a packed binary type
This type is a type designed to carry binary data that appears in various
serialized formats, such as CBOR's Major Type 2, MessagePack's bin, and
BSON's generic binary subtype. This type is NOT a part of standard JSON and
exists solely for compatibility with these binary types. As such, it is
simply defined as an ordered sequence of zero or more byte values.
Additionally, as an implementation detail, the subtype of the binary data is
carried around as a `std::uint8_t`, which is compatible with both of the
binary data formats that use binary subtyping, (though the specific
numbering is incompatible with each other, and it is up to the user to
translate between them).
[CBOR's RFC 7049](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049) describes this type
as:
> Major type 2: a byte string. The string's length in bytes is represented
> following the rules for positive integers (major type 0).
[MessagePack's documentation on the bin type
family](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#bin-format-family)
describes this type as:
> Bin format family stores an byte array in 2, 3, or 5 bytes of extra bytes
> in addition to the size of the byte array.
[BSON's specifications](http://bsonspec.org/spec.html) describe several
binary types; however, this type is intended to represent the generic binary
type which has the description:
> Generic binary subtype - This is the most commonly used binary subtype and
> should be the 'default' for drivers and tools.
None of these impose any limitations on the internal representation other
than the basic unit of storage be some type of array whose parts are
decomposable into bytes.
The default representation of this binary format is a
`std::vector<std::uint8_t>`, which is a very common way to represent a byte
array in modern C++.
#### Default type
The default values for @a BinaryType is `std::vector<std::uint8_t>`
#### Storage
Binary Arrays are stored as pointers in a @ref basic_json type. That is,
for any access to array values, a pointer of the type `binary_t*` must be
dereferenced.
#### Notes on subtypes
- CBOR
- Binary values are represented as byte strings. No subtypes are
supported and will be ignored when CBOR is written.
- MessagePack
- If a subtype is given and the binary array contains exactly 1, 2, 4, 8,
or 16 elements, the fixext family (fixext1, fixext2, fixext4, fixext8)
is used. For other sizes, the ext family (ext8, ext16, ext32) is used.
The subtype is then added as singed 8-bit integer.
- If no subtype is given, the bin family (bin8, bin16, bin32) is used.
- BSON
- If a subtype is given, it is used and added as unsigned 8-bit integer.
- If no subtype is given, the generic binary subtype 0x00 is used.

@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.

@brief create a JSON value
This is a "catch all" constructor for all compatible JSON types; that is,
types for which a `to_json()` method exists. The constructor forwards the
parameter @a val to that method (to `json_serializer<U>::to_json` method
with `U = uncvref_t<CompatibleType>`, to be exact).
Template type @a CompatibleType includes, but is not limited to, the
following types:
- **arrays**: @ref array_t and all kinds of compatible containers such as
`std::vector`, `std::deque`, `std::list`, `std::forward_list`,
`std::array`, `std::valarray`, `std::set`, `std::unordered_set`,
`std::multiset`, and `std::unordered_multiset` with a `value_type` from
which a @ref basic_json value can be constructed.
- **objects**: @ref object_t and all kinds of compatible associative
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.
- **binary**: @ref binary_t / `std::vector<uint8_t>` may be used,
unfortunately because string literals cannot be distinguished from binary
character arrays by the C++ type system, all types compatible with `const
char*` will be directed to the string constructor instead. This is both
for backwards compatibility, and due to the fact that a binary type is not
a standard JSON type.
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
constructors),
- @a CompatibleType is not a different @ref basic_json type (i.e. with different template arguments)
- @a CompatibleType is not a @ref basic_json nested type (e.g.,
@ref json_pointer, @ref iterator, etc ...)
- @ref @ref json_serializer<U> has a
`to_json(basic_json_t&, CompatibleType&&)` method
@tparam U = `uncvref_t<CompatibleType>`
@param[in] val the value to be forwarded to the respective constructor
@complexity Usually linear in the size of the passed @a val, also

@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.

changes to any JSON value.

@brief construct a JSON container given an iterator range
Constructs the JSON value with the contents of the range `[first, last)`.
The semantics depends on the different types a JSON value can have:
- In case of a null type, invalid_iterator.206 is thrown.
- In case of other primitive types (number, boolean, or string), @a first
must be `begin()` and @a last must be `end()`. In this case, the value is
copied. Otherwise, invalid_iterator.204 is thrown.
- In case of structured types (array, object), the constructor behaves as
similar versions for `std::vector` or `std::map`; that is, a JSON array
or object is constructed from the values in the range.

@pre Range `[first, last)` is valid. Usually, this precondition cannot be
checked efficiently. Only certain edge cases are detected; see the
description of the exceptions below. A violation of this precondition
yields undefined behavior.
@warning A precondition is enforced with a runtime assertion that will
result in calling `std::abort` if this precondition is not met.
Assertions can be disabled by defining `NDEBUG` at compile time.

@brief comparison: equal
Compares two JSON values for equality according to the following rules:
- Two JSON values are equal if (1) they are from the same type and (2)
their stored values are the same according to their respective
`operator==`.
- Integer and floating-point numbers are automatically converted before
comparison. Note that two NaN values are always treated as unequal.
- Two JSON null values are equal.
@note Floating-point inside JSON values numbers are compared with
`json::number_float_t::operator==` which is `double::operator==` by
default. To compare floating-point while respecting an epsilon, an alternative
[comparison function](https://github.com/mariokonrad/marnav/blob/master/include/marnav/math/floatingpoint.hpp#L34-#L39)
could be used, for instance
@code {.cpp}

inline bool is_same(T a, T b, T epsilon = std::numeric_limits<T>::epsilon()) noexcept
{
return std::abs(a - b) <= epsilon;
}
@endcode
Or you can self-defined operator equal function like this:
@code {.cpp}
bool my_equal(const_reference lhs, const_reference rhs) {
const auto lhs_type lhs.type();
const auto rhs_type rhs.type();
if (lhs_type == rhs_type) {

case value_t::number_float:
return std::abs(lhs - rhs) <= std::numeric_limits<float>::epsilon();
// other cases remain the same with the original
...
}
...
}

@param[in] rhs second JSON value to consider
@return whether the values @a lhs and @a rhs are equal

@note The mapping is **complete** in the sense that any JSON value type
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.
@note If the JSON data contains the binary type, the value stored is a list
of integers, as suggested by the UBJSON documentation. In particular,
this means that serialization and the deserialization of a JSON
containing binary values into UBJSON and back will result in a
different JSON object.

@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] apply_patch the patch to apply
@complexity Linear in the lengths of @a patch.
@liveexample{The following code shows how a JSON Merge Patch is applied to
a JSON document.,merge_patch}
@sa @ref patch -- apply a JSON patch
