Fix documentation gaps found in a full GitHub Discussions review (#5264)
* 📡 Fix documentation gaps found in a full GitHub Discussions review Reviewed all 1008 GitHub Discussions (2020-2026) for recurring questions that better or more visible documentation would have avoided. Adds/expands documentation for ~26 distinct gaps, including: - New "Debugging" page collecting natvis, GDB pretty printer, LLDB status, and JSON_DIAGNOSTICS pointers (previously scattered/undiscoverable) - Thread-safety and schema-validation FAQ entries - StringType's char-based requirement (no wstring/u16string/u32string) - Brace-initialization-yields-arrays warning directly on the constructor reference page (previously only in the FAQ, missed by users reading the constructor docs) - std::any exclusion from get<T>(), with a manual-dispatch example - Non-string-keyed std::map serializing as an array of pairs - ordered_json compatibility with NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_* macros (already worked, was undocumented) - std::array truncation on size-mismatched conversion (no exception) - static_cast vs. get<std::optional<T>>() divergence - Recipe for omitting a std::optional field instead of emitting null - No built-in nesting-depth limit during parsing + a callback-based workaround recipe - Recipe for streaming a large homogeneous array via parser callbacks - operator>> stream-position semantics for concatenated JSON values - JSON Pointer array-vs-object creation rule for non-existing paths - CMake target name (nlohmann_json_modules) needed to link C++20 modules - ESP-IDF/PlatformIO: no official package, link to a community fork - get(key, default) as the Python dict.get() equivalent - reserve() recipe for pre-allocating array capacity - JSONC as an alias for the existing ignore_comments/ignore_trailing_commas combination (distinct from the unsupported JSON5) - items() dereferenced-element type: decltype() idiom + detail-namespace stability caveat - Various macro/type-conversion limitations (MSGPACK_DEFINE_ARRAY equivalent, char-array round-tripping, ADL serializer macro gap) Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * 🚶 fix format Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> --------- Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

Function [`array()`](array.md) and [`object()`](object.md) force array and object creation from initializer lists,
|

respectively.

!!! warning "Brace initialization yields arrays"
|
||||
|

Because this constructor takes an `initializer_list_t`, brace-initializing a `json`/`ordered_json` from
|
||||
another `json` value wraps it in a single-element array rather than copying it:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
json j1 = "hello";
|
||||
json j2{j1}; // [!] j2 is ["hello"], NOT a copy of j1
|
||||
json j3(j1); // j3 is "hello" -- parentheses copy as expected
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See the FAQ entry on [brace initialization](../../home/faq.md#brace-initialization-yields-arrays) for the
|
||||
full explanation, an opt-in macro to change this behavior, and how to explicitly create a single-element
|
||||
array (`json::array({value})`) if that is what you want.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Constructs a JSON array value by creating `cnt` copies of a passed value. In case `cnt` is `0`, an empty array is
|
||||
created.
