## Notes
There are three enumeration entries (number_integer, number_unsigned, and number_float), because the library
distinguishes these three types for numbers: [`number_unsigned_t`](number_unsigned_t.md) is used for unsigned integers,
[`number_integer_t`](number_integer_t.md) is used for signed integers, and [`number_float_t`](number_float_t.md) is used
for floating-point numbers or to approximate integers which do not fit in the limits of their respective type.
!!! note "Ordering"
The order of types is as follows:
1. `null`
2. `boolean`
3. `number_integer`, `number_unsigned`, `number_float`
4. `object`
5. `array`
6. `string`
7. `binary`
`discarded` is unordered.
!!! note "Types of numbers"
There are three enumerators for numbers (`number_integer`, `number_unsigned`, and `number_float`) to distinguish
between different types of numbers:
- [`number_unsigned_t`](number_unsigned_t.md) for unsigned integers
- [`number_integer_t`](number_integer_t.md) for signed integers
- [`number_float_t`](number_float_t.md) for floating-point numbers or to approximate integers which do not fit
into the limits of their respective type
!!! warning "Comparison operators"
`operator<` and `operator<=>` (since C++20) are overloaded and compare according to the ordering described above.
Until C++20 all other relational and equality operators yield results according to the integer value of each
enumerator.
Since C++20 some compilers consider the _rewritten candidates_ generated from `operator<=>` during overload
resolution, while others do not.
For predictable and portable behavior use:
- `operator<` or `operator<=>` when wanting to compare according to the order described above
- `operator==` or `operator!=` when wanting to compare according to each enumerators integer value
