1. Explicit type conversion between the JSON value and a compatible value which is

[DefaultConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible). The value is converted by
calling the `json_serializer<ValueType>` `from_json()` method.

## Exception safety
Depends on what `json_serializer<ValueType>` `from_json()` method throws for overloads (1) and (2); the JSON value
itself is never modified, since `get()` is a `#!cpp const` member function. No-throw guarantee for overload (3): this
function never throws exceptions.

The example below shows several conversions from JSON values
to other types. There a few things to note: (1) Floating-point numbers can
be converted to integers, (2) A JSON array can be converted to a standard
`std::vector<short>`, (3) A JSON object can be converted to C++
associative containers such as `std::unordered_map<std::string, json>`.

conversions are made and a `#cpp nullptr` is returned if the value and the requested pointer type does not match.
