Likewise, when a JSON object in the above form is serialized using [`to_bjdata`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/to_bjdata/index.md), it is automatically converted into a compact BJData ND-array. When the 1-dimensional vector stored in `"_ArraySize_"` contains a single integer or two integers with one being 1, a regular 1-D optimized array is generated instead.

An object is only converted if the annotation actually describes a packed array; otherwise it is serialized as a regular JSON object. This requires all of the following:
When parsing, an ND-array whose dimension vector is empty, contains a single integer, contains two integers with the first being 1, or contains a 0 is returned as a regular (possibly empty) array rather than an annotated object.
An object is only converted if the annotation describes a packed array that is parsed back into the same annotated object; otherwise it is serialized as a regular JSON object, so the annotation is never lost in a round trip. This requires all of the following:
- `"_ArrayType_"` is one of `uint8`, `int8`, `uint16`, `int16`, `uint32`, `int32`, `uint64`, `int64`, `single`, `double`, `char`, or `byte`,
- `"_ArraySize_"` is an array, since the dimensions are written as the ND-array header's length,
- every entry of `"_ArraySize_"` is a non-negative integer, and their product is representable as a `std::size_t`,
- `"_ArrayData_"` holds exactly that many elements, and
- `"_ArraySize_"` has at least two entries and is not a 1×N row vector (first entry 1), since other shapes are parsed back as a regular array,
- every entry of `"_ArraySize_"` is a positive integer, and their product is representable as a `std::size_t`,
- `"_ArrayData_"` is an array holding exactly that many elements, and
- every element of `"_ArrayData_"` is a number of the kind named by `"_ArrayType_"` (a floating-point number for `single` and `double`, an integer otherwise).
The current version of this library does not yet support automatic detection of and conversion from a nested JSON array input to a BJData ND-array.
