Hexadecimal support

[TheAifam5]

Hi,
Would be really nice to add hexadecimal support.

Example:
{ "test1": 0x1, "test2": [0x2, 0x3] }

Hi @TheAifam5, when parsing JSON, this wouldn't comply to RFC 7159. However, you can use hexadecimal numbers in C++ code:

json example = {{"test", 0x1}, {"test2", {0x2, 0x3}}};

Hi @nlohmann,
I know, but would be very useful for example applying patched to program, in Reverse Engineering, in CTFs etc.. :)
Yes i know that is possible to make from C++, but right now impossible from json file. :)

I understand that there may be a scenario for this, but parsing non-compliant JSON files is out of scope for this library. In the end, JSON is about portability, and any deviation from the standard (though handy for some) would result in more problems further down the road, because other libraries would not support these extensions.
