@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, 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 constraint explicitly.
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.

byte-sized characters during deserialization.
@tparam StringType the container to store strings (e.g., `std::string`).

@brief a type for a number (integer)

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

As this range is a subrange of the exactly supported range [INT64_MIN,

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`

@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(std::istream&, const
parser_callback_t) or @ref parse(const CharT, const parser_callback_t),
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 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 now 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(std::initializer_list<basic_json>)
with an empty initializer list in this case
- arrays whose elements satisfy rule 2: use @ref
array(std::initializer_list<basic_json>) 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(std::initializer_list<basic_json>) and

are:
1. creating an array whose elements are all pairs whose first element is a

object, taking the first elements as keys
2. creating an empty array -- passing the empty initializer list to the

@brief a template for a random access 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:
- [RandomAccessIterator](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/RandomAccessIterator):
The iterator that can be moved to point (forward and backward) to any
element in constant time.

This function implements a scanner for JSON. It is specified using

Proposition: The loop below will always terminate for finite input.\n
Proof (by contradiction): Assume a finite input. To loop forever, the
loop must never hit code with a `break` statement. The only code
snippets without a `break` statement are the continue statements for
whitespace and byte-order-marks. To loop forever, the input must be an
infinite sequence of whitespace or byte-order-marks. This contradicts
the assumption of finite input, q.e.d.

@brief append data from the stream to the line buffer
This function is called by the scan() function when the end of the
buffer (`m_limit`) is reached and the `m_cursor` pointer cannot be
incremented without leaving the limits of the line buffer. Note re2c
decides when to call this function.
If the lexer reads from contiguous storage, there is no trailing null
byte. Therefore, this function must make sure to add these padding
null bytes.
If the lexer reads from an input stream, this function reads the next
line of the input.

@brief return string value for string tokens
The function iterates the characters between the opening and closing
quotes of the string value. The complete string is the range
[m_start,m_cursor). Consequently, we iterate from m_start+1 to
m_cursor-1.
We differentiate two cases:
1. Escaped characters. In this case, a new character is constructed
according to the nature of the escape. Some escapes create new
characters (e.g., `"\\n"` is replaced by `"\n"`), some are copied
as is (e.g., `"\\\\"`). Furthermore, Unicode escapes of the shape
`"\\uxxxx"` need special care. In this case, to_unicode takes care
of the construction of the values.
2. Unescaped characters are copied as is.
@pre `m_cursor - m_start >= 2`, meaning the length of the last token
is at least 2 bytes which is trivially true for any string (which
consists of at least two quotes).
" c1 c2 c3 ... "
^ ^
m_start m_cursor
@complexity Linear in the length of the string.\n
Lemma: The loop body will always terminate.\n
Proof (by contradiction): Assume the loop body does not terminate. As
the loop body does not contain another loop, one of the called
functions must never return. The called functions are `std::strtoul`
and to_unicode. Neither function can loop forever, so the loop body
will never loop forever which contradicts the assumption that the loop
body does not terminate, q.e.d.\n
Lemma: The loop condition for the for loop is eventually false.\n
Proof (by contradiction): Assume the loop does not terminate. Due to
the above lemma, this can only be due to a tautological loop
condition; that is, the loop condition i < m_cursor - 1 must always be
true. Let x be the change of i for any loop iteration. Then
m_start + 1 + x < m_cursor - 1 must hold to loop indefinitely. This
can be rephrased to m_cursor - m_start - 2 > x. With the
precondition, we x <= 0, meaning that the loop condition holds
indefinitly if i is always decreased. However, observe that the value
of i is strictly increasing with each iteration, as it is incremented
by 1 in the iteration expression and never decremented inside the loop
body. Hence, the loop condition will eventually be false which
contradicts the assumption that the loop condition is a tautology,
q.e.d.
