Niels Lohmann 1e101ecac1 Add BON8 support (#2998)
* Add BON8 support

Add to_bon8/from_bon8 and input_format_t::bon8 for BON8, a binary format
that uses the byte values that cannot begin a UTF-8 character as type
markers, so strings need no length prefix. It is the most compact of the
supported binary formats on the benchmark files.

The reader is non-recursive like the other binary readers. A string ends
at the first byte that cannot continue it, so the reader hands the one or
two bytes it reads past a string back to the value that follows. The
writer produces the canonical representation of the specification, except
for NFC normalization; its output is identical to that of the reference
implementation (HikoGUI) on all files of the test data.

The round-trip tests need the .bon8 files of json_test_data 3.2.0.

* Address review comments

- Reuse detail::validate_one_utf8 to check strings in to_bon8; the error
  now names the first byte of the invalid sequence.
- Document that to_bon8 leaves bytes in the output adapter on an
  exception, and that string_open is only an output of write_bon8_marker.
- Explain why the pushback buffer of the BON8 reader cannot overflow.

* Select the BON8 float prefix by type

get_bon8_float_prefix only depends on the type of its argument, so make
the type a template parameter instead of passing an unused value.

* Rename a test variable that Flawfinder mistakes for read()

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

* Fix the BON8 CI failures

- compare the float in write_bon8_float with number_float_t constants,
  so GCC does not warn about a float-to-double conversion
- mark check_bon8_utf8's context as used when exceptions are disabled
- choose the compact float prefix in a helper rather than with nested
  conditional operators (clang-tidy)
- use auto for the cast in the BON8 integer reader (clang-tidy)
- write the int32 minimum test values as long long literals (MSVC C4146)

* Read BON8 strings in bulk from contiguous input

- copy the valid UTF-8 of a string in one step when the input is
  contiguous (twitter.json is read in 1.68 instead of 2.52 ms,
  jeopardy.json in 196 instead of 297 ms, close to CBOR and MessagePack)
- share the new valid_utf8_prefix() with the writer's UTF-8 check, which
  now skips ASCII 8 bytes at a time
- let the fuzzer check that contiguous and stream input give the same
  value or error, and test both paths in the unit tests
- clarify that a second 0xFF after a string is an empty string

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

* Read BSON keys in bulk from contiguous input

BSON keys (and array indices) are C-style strings, which were read byte
by byte. For contiguous input they are now read up to their \x00-byte in
one step, using the same bulk_scan flag as BON8 strings: twitter.json is
read in 1.46 instead of 2.01 ms, citm_catalog.json in 2.93 instead of
3.33 ms, jeopardy.json in 182 instead of 207 ms. canada.json, whose keys
are almost all one-digit array indices, takes 2 % longer.

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

* Fix the BON8 CI failures of the bulk-read tests

- skip the contiguous-versus-stream tests of BON8 strings and BSON keys
  when exceptions are disabled: they catch the parse errors of invalid
  input, and without exceptions the library aborts instead
- use static_cast for the int64 test value (google-readability-casting)

* Move the explicit basic_json instantiation into its own test file

Linking test-regression3_cpp20 with clang and MinGW failed with
"relocation truncated to fit: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32 against `.rdata'",
as test-regression2 did before #5511. The explicit instantiation of
basic_json<> for #4825 compiles every member function, including the
BON8 reader and writer, into that object, and it was already close to
the limit (2,226,104 bytes on develop, 2,234,960 with BON8; clang -O1,
C++20).

Give the instantiation a file of its own: unit-regression3 is now
1,594,736 bytes and unit-explicit_instantiation 1,095,064. The new file
mentions JSON_HAS_CPP_17 and JSON_HAS_CPP_20 so it keeps being built
for the C++17 standard the regression was about.

* Convert the bytes of the BON8 test strings explicitly

The str() helper constructed a std::string from a byte range, which
converts each unsigned char implicitly; -fsanitize=integer reports that
for bytes of 0x80 and above (ci_test_clang_sanitizer).

Niels Lohmann ad2c14b985 Document response times, supported versions, access, secrets, and dependency policies (#5580)
Answer the OpenSSF Best Practices criteria that asked for policies the
project follows but had not written down:

- SECURITY.md: a first response within 14 days, publishing an advisory
  with credit once a fix is released, and that only the latest release
  receives security fixes.
- Governance: who has access to the project's resources, how write or
  admin access is granted, and how CI secrets are stored and rotated.
- Quality assurance: how dependencies of the build, test, and
  documentation tooling are pinned, scanned, and kept free of known
  vulnerabilities.

Also update the assurance case, since comparison no longer recurses per
nesting level (#5390), and point the best practices badge and links to
bestpractices.dev under the program's current name.

Both links were still `http://`. `astyle.sourceforge.net` serves HTTPS

`docs/mkdocs/docs/community/quality_assurance.md`, so the redirect is

* CI: suppress -Wc2y-extensions for Clang

Clang 22.1 (now shipped by silkeh/clang:latest) diagnoses __COUNTER__ as a
C2y extension, and does so in C++ mode as well. Under -Weverything -Werror
this breaks every ci_test_clang_cxx* / ci_test_clang_libcxx_cxx* target,
independently of the code under test.

The library itself does not use __COUNTER__; all diagnostics originate in
vendored Doctest (DOCTEST_ANONYMOUS, used by TEST_CASE and SECTION).

KBSandmanon 78821cd9c2 docs: document standards compliance and parse() vs operator>> strictness (#5326)
* docs: document RFC 8259 / JSONTestSuite compliance and parse() vs operator>> strictness

The compliance story lived only in tests/src/unit-testsuites.cpp, so
drive-by comparisons kept claiming the library "does not fully pass
JSONTestSuite". Make it discoverable:

- README: add a "Standards compliance" note stating that both nst
  JSONTestSuite revisions run in CI, that all mandatory y_/n_ cases pass
  through the strict parse() entry point, and listing the deliberate
  implementation-defined i_ choices (unbounded nesting, silent BOM
  stripping, noncharacters forwarded, strict rejection of invalid UTF-8
  and lone surrogates, out_of_range.406 on numeric overflow).
- features/parsing: add a "Strictness and trailing data" section
  documenting that parse() is strict and rejects trailing data while
  operator>> follows relaxed iostream semantics (parses one value and
  leaves the stream positioned after it) -- the single place a naive
  test yields a "non-compliant" result.

Documentation only; no parser behavior change. Closes #5290.

* docs: correct test-data vendoring and parse()/operator>> claims per review

- README: the JSONTestSuite data is downloaded from nlohmann/json_test_data at
  configure time, not vendored/committed; say so.
- README: only the updated suite runs y_ and n_ cases through strict parse();
  the original suite's y_ cases go through operator>>. Narrow the claim.
- parsing/index.md and operator_gtgt.md: note that operator>> consumes a number's
  terminating byte, so concatenated numbers must be whitespace-separated (1 2
  works, 1true does not); structural and literal values are unaffected.
