-json.exception.parse_error.101 | parse error at 2: unexpected end of input; expected string literal | This error indicates a syntax error while deserializing a JSON text. The error message describes that an unexpected token (character) was encountered, and the member @a byte indicates the error position.
-json.exception.parse_error.102 | parse error at 14: missing or wrong low surrogate | JSON uses the `\uxxxx` format to describe Unicode characters. Code points above above 0xFFFF are split into two `\uxxxx` entries ("surrogate pairs"). This error indicates that the surrogate pair is incomplete or contains an invalid code point.
-json.exception.parse_error.103 | parse error: code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid | Unicode supports code points up to 0x10FFFF. Code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid.
-json.exception.parse_error.104 | parse error: JSON patch must be an array of objects | [RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902) requires a JSON Patch document to be a JSON document that represents an array of objects.
-json.exception.parse_error.105 | parse error: operation must have string member 'op' | An operation of a JSON Patch document must contain exactly one "op" member, whose value indicates the operation to perform. Its value must be one of "add", "remove", "replace", "move", "copy", or "test"; other values are errors.
-json.exception.parse_error.106 | parse error: array index '01' must not begin with '0' | An array index in a JSON Pointer ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) may be `0` or any number wihtout a leading `0`.
-json.exception.parse_error.107 | parse error: JSON pointer must be empty or begin with '/' - was: 'foo' | A JSON Pointer must be a Unicode string containing a sequence of zero or more reference tokens, each prefixed by a `/` character.
-json.exception.parse_error.108 | parse error: escape character '~' must be followed with '0' or '1' | In a JSON Pointer, only `~0` and `~1` are valid escape sequences.
-json.exception.parse_error.109 | parse error: array index 'one' is not a number | A JSON Pointer array index must be a number.
-json.exception.parse_error.110 | parse error at 1: cannot read 2 bytes from vector | When parsing CBOR or MessagePack, the byte vector ends before the complete value has been read.
-json.exception.parse_error.112 | parse error at 1: error reading CBOR; last byte: 0xf8 | Not all types of CBOR or MessagePack are supported. This exception occurs if an unsupported byte was read.
-json.exception.parse_error.113 | parse error at 2: expected a CBOR string; last byte: 0x98 | While parsing a map key, a value that is not a string has been read.

-json.exception.invalid_iterator.203 | iterators do not fit current value | Either iterator passed to function @ref erase(IteratorType first, IteratorType last) does not belong to the JSON value from which values shall be erased. It hence does not define a valid range to delete values from.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.204 | iterators out of range | When an iterator range for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to a constructor or an erase function, this range has to be exactly (@ref begin(), @ref end()), because this is the only way the single stored value is expressed. All other ranges are invalid.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.205 | iterator out of range | When an iterator for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to an erase function, the iterator has to be the @ref begin() iterator, because it is the only way to address the stored value. All other iterators are invalid.

-json.exception.invalid_iterator.211 | passed iterators may not belong to container | The iterator range passed to the insert function must not be a subrange of the container to insert to.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.212 | cannot compare iterators of different containers | When two iterators are compared, they must belong to the same container.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.213 | cannot compare order of object iterators | The order of object iterators cannot be compared, because JSON objects are unordered.

-@brief the JSON type enumeration
-
-This enumeration collects the different JSON types. It is internally used to
-distinguish the stored values, and the functions @ref basic_json::is_null(),
-@ref basic_json::is_object(), @ref basic_json::is_array(),
-@ref basic_json::is_string(), @ref basic_json::is_boolean(),
-@ref basic_json::is_number() (with @ref basic_json::is_number_integer(),

-@ref basic_json::is_discarded(), @ref basic_json::is_primitive(), and
-@ref basic_json::is_structured() rely on it.
-
-@note There are three enumeration entries (number_integer, number_unsigned, and
-number_float), because the library distinguishes these three types for numbers:
-@ref basic_json::number_unsigned_t is used for unsigned integers,
-@ref basic_json::number_integer_t is used for signed integers, and
-@ref basic_json::number_float_t is used for floating-point numbers or to

-    This function scans a string according to Sect. 6 of RFC 7159.

-    "init", the input is read and used to determined the next state. Only
-    state "done" accepts the number. State "error" is a trap state to model
-    errors. In the table below, "anything" means any character but the ones
-    listed before.

-
-    The state machine is realized with one label per state (prefixed with
-    "scan_number_") and `goto` statements between them. The state machine
-    contains cycles, but any cycle can be left when EOF is read. Therefore,
-    the function is guaranteed to terminate.
-
-    During scanning, the read bytes are stored in yytext. This string is
-    then converted to a signed integer, an unsigned integer, or a
-    floating-point number.
-
-    @return token_type::value_unsigned, token_type::value_integer, or
-            token_type::value_float if number could be successfully scanned,
-            token_type::parse_error otherwise
-
-    @note The scanner is independent of the current locale. Internally, the
-          locale's decimal point is used instead of `.` to work with the
-          locale-dependent converters.

-@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
-- Basic
- - [DefaultConstructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/DefaultConstructible):
-   JSON values can be default constructed. The result will be a JSON null
-   value.
- - [MoveConstructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/MoveConstructible):
-   A JSON value can be constructed from an rvalue argument.
- - [CopyConstructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/CopyConstructible):
-   A JSON value can be copy-constructed from an lvalue expression.
- - [MoveAssignable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/MoveAssignable):
-   A JSON value van be assigned from an rvalue argument.
- - [CopyAssignable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/CopyAssignable):
-   A JSON value can be copy-assigned from an lvalue expression.
- - [Destructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Destructible):
-   JSON values can be destructed.
-- Layout
- - [StandardLayoutType](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/StandardLayoutType):
-   JSON values have
-   [standard layout](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/data_members#Standard_layout):
-   All non-static data members are private and standard layout types, the
-   class has no virtual functions or (virtual) base classes.
-- Library-wide
- - [EqualityComparable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/EqualityComparable):
-   JSON values can be compared with `==`, see @ref
-   operator==(const_reference,const_reference).
- - [LessThanComparable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/LessThanComparable):
-   JSON values can be compared with `<`, see @ref
-   operator<(const_reference,const_reference).
- - [Swappable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Swappable):
-   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](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/NullablePointer):
-   JSON values can be compared against `std::nullptr_t` objects which are used
-   to model the `null` value.
-- Container
- - [Container](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Container):
-   JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide iterator access.
- - [ReversibleContainer](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/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, 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.

-    std::string

-
-    #### 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.

-
-    [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:

-    @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

-    @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
-    @ref object(std::initializer_list<basic_json>).
-
-    @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(std::initializer_list<basic_json>)
-    for an example.

-    @brief applies a JSON patch
-
-    [JSON Patch](http://jsonpatch.com) defines a JSON document structure for
-    expressing a sequence of operations to apply to a JSON) document. With
-    this function, a JSON Patch is applied to the current JSON value by
-    executing all operations from the patch.
-
-    @param[in] json_patch  JSON patch document
-    @return patched document
-
-    @note The application of a patch is atomic: Either all operations succeed
-          and the patched document is returned or an exception is thrown. In
-          any case, the original value is not changed: the patch is applied
-          to a copy of the value.
-
-    @throw parse_error.104 if the JSON patch does not consist of an array of
-    objects
-
-    @throw parse_error.105 if the JSON patch is malformed (e.g., mandatory
-    attributes are missing); example: `"operation add must have member path"`
-
-    @throw out_of_range.401 if an array index is out of range.
-
-    @throw out_of_range.403 if a JSON pointer inside the patch could not be
-    resolved successfully in the current JSON value; example: `"key baz not
-    found"`
-
-    @throw out_of_range.405 if JSON pointer has no parent ("add", "remove",
-    "move")
-
-    @throw other_error.501 if "test" operation was unsuccessful
-
-    @complexity Linear in the size of the JSON value and the length of the

-    the patch, the complexity can usually be neglected.

+@brief exception indicating a parse error
+
+This exception is thrown by the library when a parse error occurs. Parse errors
+can occur during the deserialization of JSON text, CBOR, MessagePack, as well
+as when using JSON Patch.
+
+Member @a byte holds the byte index of the last read character in the input
+file.
+
+Exceptions have ids 1xx.

+------------------------------ | --------------- | -------------------------
+json.exception.parse_error.101 | parse error at 2: unexpected end of input; expected string literal | This error indicates a syntax error while deserializing a JSON text. The error message describes that an unexpected token (character) was encountered, and the member @a byte indicates the error position.
+json.exception.parse_error.102 | parse error at 14: missing or wrong low surrogate | JSON uses the `\uxxxx` format to describe Unicode characters. Code points above above 0xFFFF are split into two `\uxxxx` entries ("surrogate pairs"). This error indicates that the surrogate pair is incomplete or contains an invalid code point.
+json.exception.parse_error.103 | parse error: code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid | Unicode supports code points up to 0x10FFFF. Code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid.
+json.exception.parse_error.104 | parse error: JSON patch must be an array of objects | [RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902) requires a JSON Patch document to be a JSON document that represents an array of objects.
+json.exception.parse_error.105 | parse error: operation must have string member 'op' | An operation of a JSON Patch document must contain exactly one "op" member, whose value indicates the operation to perform. Its value must be one of "add", "remove", "replace", "move", "copy", or "test"; other values are errors.
+json.exception.parse_error.106 | parse error: array index '01' must not begin with '0' | An array index in a JSON Pointer ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) may be `0` or any number without a leading `0`.
+json.exception.parse_error.107 | parse error: JSON pointer must be empty or begin with '/' - was: 'foo' | A JSON Pointer must be a Unicode string containing a sequence of zero or more reference tokens, each prefixed by a `/` character.
+json.exception.parse_error.108 | parse error: escape character '~' must be followed with '0' or '1' | In a JSON Pointer, only `~0` and `~1` are valid escape sequences.
+json.exception.parse_error.109 | parse error: array index 'one' is not a number | A JSON Pointer array index must be a number.
+json.exception.parse_error.110 | parse error at 1: cannot read 2 bytes from vector | When parsing CBOR or MessagePack, the byte vector ends before the complete value has been read.
+json.exception.parse_error.112 | parse error at 1: error reading CBOR; last byte: 0xF8 | Not all types of CBOR or MessagePack are supported. This exception occurs if an unsupported byte was read.
+json.exception.parse_error.113 | parse error at 2: expected a CBOR string; last byte: 0x98 | While parsing a map key, a value that is not a string has been read.
+json.exception.parse_error.114 | parse error: Unsupported BSON record type 0x0F | The parsing of the corresponding BSON record type is not implemented (yet).
+
+@note For an input with n bytes, 1 is the index of the first character and n+1
+      is the index of the terminating null byte or the end of file. This also
+      holds true when reading a byte vector (CBOR or MessagePack).

+json.exception.invalid_iterator.202 | iterator does not fit current value | In an erase or insert function, the passed iterator @a pos does not belong to the JSON value for which the function was called. It hence does not define a valid position for the deletion/insertion.
+json.exception.invalid_iterator.203 | iterators do not fit current value | Either iterator passed to function @ref erase(IteratorType first, IteratorType last) does not belong to the JSON value from which values shall be erased. It hence does not define a valid range to delete values from.
+json.exception.invalid_iterator.204 | iterators out of range | When an iterator range for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to a constructor or an erase function, this range has to be exactly (@ref begin(), @ref end()), because this is the only way the single stored value is expressed. All other ranges are invalid.
+json.exception.invalid_iterator.205 | iterator out of range | When an iterator for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to an erase function, the iterator has to be the @ref begin() iterator, because it is the only way to address the stored value. All other iterators are invalid.
+json.exception.invalid_iterator.206 | cannot construct with iterators from null | The iterators passed to constructor @ref basic_json(InputIT first, InputIT last) belong to a JSON null value and hence to not define a valid range.
+json.exception.invalid_iterator.207 | cannot use key() for non-object iterators | The key() member function can only be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because other types do not have a concept of a key.
+json.exception.invalid_iterator.208 | cannot use operator[] for object iterators | The operator[] to specify a concrete offset cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.

+json.exception.type_error.301 | cannot create object from initializer list | To create an object from an initializer list, the initializer list must consist only of a list of pairs whose first element is a string. When this constraint is violated, an array is created instead.
+json.exception.type_error.302 | type must be object, but is array | During implicit or explicit value conversion, the JSON type must be compatible to the target type. For instance, a JSON string can only be converted into string types, but not into numbers or boolean types.

+@brief the JSON type enumeration
+
+This enumeration collects the different JSON types. It is internally used to
+distinguish the stored values, and the functions @ref basic_json::is_null(),
+@ref basic_json::is_object(), @ref basic_json::is_array(),
+@ref basic_json::is_string(), @ref basic_json::is_boolean(),
+@ref basic_json::is_number() (with @ref basic_json::is_number_integer(),
+@ref basic_json::is_number_unsigned(), and @ref basic_json::is_number_float()),
+@ref basic_json::is_discarded(), @ref basic_json::is_primitive(), and
+@ref basic_json::is_structured() rely on it.
+
+@note There are three enumeration entries (number_integer, number_unsigned, and
+number_float), because the library distinguishes these three types for numbers:
+@ref basic_json::number_unsigned_t is used for unsigned integers,
+@ref basic_json::number_integer_t is used for signed integers, and
+@ref basic_json::number_float_t is used for floating-point numbers or to
+approximate integers which do not fit in the limits of their respective type.
+
+@sa @ref basic_json::basic_json(const value_t value_type) -- create a JSON
+value with the default value for a given type

+    This function scans a string according to Sect. 6 of RFC 7159.
+
+    The function is realized with a deterministic finite state machine derived
+    from the grammar described in RFC 7159. Starting in state "init", the
+    input is read and used to determined the next state. Only state "done"
+    accepts the number. State "error" is a trap state to model errors. In the
+    table below, "anything" means any character but the ones listed before.

+
+    The state machine is realized with one label per state (prefixed with
+    "scan_number_") and `goto` statements between them. The state machine
+    contains cycles, but any cycle can be left when EOF is read. Therefore,
+    the function is guaranteed to terminate.
+
+    During scanning, the read bytes are stored in token_buffer. This string is
+    then converted to a signed integer, an unsigned integer, or a
+    floating-point number.
+
+    @return token_type::value_unsigned, token_type::value_integer, or
+            token_type::value_float if number could be successfully scanned,

+    @note The scanner is independent of the current locale. Internally, the

+@brief a template for a bidirectional 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:
+-
+[BidirectionalIterator](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/BidirectionalIterator):
+  The iterator that can be moved can be moved in both directions (i.e.
+  incremented and decremented).
+@since version 1.0.0, simplified in version 2.0.9, change to bidirectional
+       iterators in version 3.0.0 (see https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/593)

+-

+default)
+@tparam JSONSerializer the serializer to resolve internal calls to `to_json()`
+and `from_json()` (@ref adl_serializer by default)
+
+@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
+- Basic
+ - [DefaultConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible):
+   JSON values can be default constructed. The result will be a JSON null
+   value.
+ - [MoveConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/MoveConstructible):
+   A JSON value can be constructed from an rvalue argument.
+ - [CopyConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyConstructible):
+   A JSON value can be copy-constructed from an lvalue expression.
+ - [MoveAssignable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/MoveAssignable):
+   A JSON value van be assigned from an rvalue argument.
+ - [CopyAssignable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyAssignable):
+   A JSON value can be copy-assigned from an lvalue expression.
+ - [Destructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Destructible):
+   JSON values can be destructed.
+- Layout
+ - [StandardLayoutType](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/StandardLayoutType):
+   JSON values have
+   [standard layout](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/data_members#Standard_layout):
+   All non-static data members are private and standard layout types, the
+   class has no virtual functions or (virtual) base classes.
+- Library-wide
+ - [EqualityComparable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/EqualityComparable):
+   JSON values can be compared with `==`, see @ref
+   operator==(const_reference,const_reference).
+ - [LessThanComparable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/LessThanComparable):
+   JSON values can be compared with `<`, see @ref
+   operator<(const_reference,const_reference).
+ - [Swappable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Swappable):
+   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 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

+    @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.

+    a JSON document.,merge_patch}
