* Handle numbers that do not fit narrow number types in the binary readers
With custom number types narrower than the values in a binary document,
for example basic_json<..., std::int32_t, std::uint32_t, float>, every
binary reader (CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON, BJData, BSON, BON8) passed the
decoded number to the SAX interface with an implicit conversion: the
integer 5000000000 silently became 705032704, and a finite double such as
1e300 became infinity. The lexer handles the same values in JSON text: an
integer that fits neither integer type is stored as number_float_t, and a
finite number that overflows number_float_t is rejected with
out_of_range.406.
Pass every number read from binary input through three helpers that
apply the lexer's rules:
- emit_signed(): number_integer_t, else number_unsigned_t for a
non-negative value, else number_float_t
- emit_unsigned(): number_unsigned_t, else number_float_t
- emit_float(): out_of_range.406 if a finite value overflows
number_float_t; infinity and NaN are passed on
For consistency, a CBOR negative integer below the range of
number_integer_t is now stored as number_float_t, like a too small
integer in JSON text, instead of being rejected with parse_error.112.
With the default number types, this is the only change in behavior.

* Fix MSVC and clang 3.5 in the narrow number type test
MSVC types 3000000000 and 5000000000 as unsigned long, so
json(-3000000000) triggered C4146 (unary minus on an unsigned type),
which /WX turns into an error. Use LL literals, as elsewhere in the
tests.
clang 3.5 cannot convert the lambdas in the braced initializer of the
format table to function pointers. Use named functions instead.

* Check integer-to-float fallbacks for overflow in the binary readers
emit_signed, emit_unsigned, and the CBOR negative integer fallback now
pass their number_float_t fallback through emit_float, so a value that
overflows number_float_t is rejected with out_of_range.406 like a
floating-point value, instead of silently becoming infinity. This only
matters for a number_float_t that cannot represent 2^64, such as a
half-precision type. The CBOR value -1 - n is computed as long double so
that emit_float sees a finite value.

The helpers (get_number, get_to, get_string, get_binary, get_bytes,

are members of binary_reader, which already stores the format it was
constructed with, so the parameter was redundant.

* Review and extend the documentation, and check it in CI
A review of all documentation pages found factual errors, dead links,
missing cross-references, and gaps in examples. This fixes them and adds
checks so the same problems are caught automatically.
Fixes:
- wrong signatures and version histories (operator!= C++20 member,
binary() subtype type, get<PointerType>(), JSON_NO_THREAD_LOCAL, ...)
- stale descriptions (number parsing since #5283, UBJSON table, SAX
example that no longer compiled, tsl::ordered_map advice)
- dead internal and external links; repology.org badges (the domain is
suspended) replaced by badges that query the registries directly
- deprecation notes link the migration guide; the guide itself fixed
Additions:
- "See also" sections, cross-references, 25 runnable examples, 12
Mermaid diagrams, new API pages for json_pointer::operator<=> and
byte_container_with_subtype::operator==/!=
- landing page, guides for untrusted input and performance
- "unreleased" badge after versions newer than the latest release
Checks:
- strict documentation build (broken links/anchors fail it); CI and
the publish workflow fetch the full history the build needs
- weekly external link check, Mermaid syntax check in CI
- check_structure.py: example titles, heading levels, alt texts,
header links, docset index coverage; its unused-example check works
again
- all examples produce the same output on every platform

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 check lives in one function, so each length is written by an

* 🐛 reject ill-formed UTF-8 in CBOR/MessagePack/BSON text strings at decode time (#5531)
from_cbor()/from_msgpack()/from_bson() copied the raw bytes of a decoded
text string into the resulting json value without any UTF-8 validation,
even though RFC 8949 §3.1 (CBOR) and the MessagePack/BSON specifications
all require text strings to be valid UTF-8. Malformed input only failed
later, if the value was dump()'d, with a type_error.316 - so the
allow_exceptions=false pattern used specifically to get a discarded
sentinel instead of an exception did not discard this category of
malformed input, unlike every other kind of malformed binary input this
library rejects at decode time (see #5529).
Fix this at the single choke point shared by BSON/CBOR/MessagePack/UBJSON
string reads, binary_reader::get_string(): validate the bytes with the
UTF-8 DFA right after they are read, and report failures the same way as
every other binary_reader error (parse_error.113), so allow_exceptions
and strict discarding behave consistently. get_binary()/binary blob reads
are untouched and still accept arbitrary bytes, since only text strings
are required to be UTF-8.
There were two independent implementations of a UTF-8 validator: the
lexer's streaming scanner, and the serializer's Hoehrmann DFA used by
dump_escaped_impl(). Rather than write a third, the serializer's decode()
function, its utf8d table and the UTF8_ACCEPT/UTF8_REJECT constants are
extracted into detail/string_utils.hpp (a low-level header already
included before both detail/input/ and detail/output/), alongside a new
is_valid_utf8() helper built on the same decode() step. serializer.hpp's
dump_escaped_impl() now calls the shared decode(), so there is exactly
one UTF-8 validator in the codebase; dump()'s exact type_error.316
messages and byte-index reporting are unchanged (see the added
regression-guard test in unit-serialization.cpp).

An input of many small chunks took quadratic time (80000 one-byte chunks,

* Check the fuzzers' UBJSON/BJData round-trip invariants in the unit tests
The strongest correctness checks for the UBJSON and BJData writers lived
only in the OSS-Fuzz drivers: anything from_ubjson()/from_bjdata()
returns must serialize with every option combination, parse back, and
re-serialize stably. Those checks only run at OSS-Fuzz, so regressions
surfaced days later as external reports - the same BJData assert pair
was reported five times over three years, and #5494's harness change
was followed by OSS-Fuzz 563659413 within a day.
Add "UBJSON round-trip invariants" and "BJData round-trip invariants"
test cases that run the drivers' checks on a fixed, deterministic corpus
(tests/src/round_trip_corpus.hpp): integer and float boundaries,
non-finite numbers, strings, binary values, optimized containers, deep
nesting, the JData annotated-array matrix, and seeded random containers.
They also check two properties the drivers do not: the first round trip
preserves the value, and re-serializing reproduces the exact bytes. For
BJData both exclude values containing a binary value, which is read back
as an array of integers unless it was written as a Draft 3 optimized
binary array; this carve-out is now documented in bjdata.md. Run against
the headers before #5542, the BJData test fails, including on the shape
from OSS-Fuzz 563659413.
Also document how OSS-Fuzz reports are handled (reference them as
"OSS-Fuzz: <id>", turn the reproducer into a unit test, keep drivers and
unit tests in sync) in tests/fuzzing.md, and link it from the PR
template and the quality assurance page.

Fixed by #5455.
- 474480402 (to_bjdata(j2, false, false) == vec2): a one-byte Draft 3
binary array is written in Draft 2 mode as a uint8 array and then
re-serialized with the int8 marker. This is the documented exception to
byte stability, not a library bug; OSS-Fuzz closed it after #5494
relaxed the harness to value stability. The test pins the exact bytes
so the exception stays deliberate.
The 563659413 reproducer is already a unit test (#5542). A comment also

write_bjdata_ndarray() encoded a JData-annotated object as a BJData
ND-array whenever its dimensions' product matched _ArrayData_.size(),
which lost information in two ways:
- _ArrayData_ was never required to be an array. null has size 0, any
other scalar has size 1, and iterating an object visits its values, so
e.g. {"_ArraySize_":[1],"_ArrayData_":5} was written as the array [5],
and an object _ArrayData_ came back as an array.
- The reader only restores an annotated object from an ND-array with at
least two non-zero dimensions that is not a 1xN row vector; an empty,
1-D, row-vector, or zero-sized shape is read back as a plain array. The
writer nonetheless emitted ND-array headers for these shapes, so the
annotation was silently dropped.
OSS-Fuzz issue 563659413 hit this in parse_bjdata_fuzzer: an empty binary
_ArraySize_ is written as a plain object and read back as an empty array,
after which {"_ArrayType_":"int16","_ArraySize_":[],"_ArrayData_":null}
was encoded as the ND-array header "[$I#[]" and re-read as [], failing the
harness's value-stability check.
Such objects now fall back to a plain object encoding, which round-trips.
Genuine ND-arrays (two or more positive dimensions, not a 1xN row vector)
are encoded exactly as before. Existing fallback tests that used 1-D
shapes are moved to 2-D shapes so they keep exercising the check they
were written for, and the BJData documentation is updated.

* Bound UBJSON optimized arrays of a valueless type
An element of type 'Z' (null), 'T' (true) or 'F' (false) is encoded by its
type marker alone, so an optimized UBJSON array of one of those has no
payload: reading an element consumes no input at all. Its declared count is
therefore the only thing that decides how much is allocated, and nothing
bounded it. "[$Z#l" and a four-byte count is nine bytes of input describing
two billion values; #2793 reports 35 GB and 150 seconds from ten bytes, and
OSS-Fuzz has an out-of-memory and a timeout report for the same shape.
Every other type costs at least one byte per element, so the end of the input
bounds it. 'N' (no-op) is already skipped rather than stored. Objects are not
affected either: each element is preceded by its key, which costs bytes. And
BJData already refuses these markers as an optimized type, so this is a plain
UBJSON matter.
Reject a count above 1,048,576 elements for those three types with
out_of_range.408, the code this reader already uses for a declared size it
will not honour. The check runs before the SAX start event, so no container
is opened and then abandoned.
Rejecting on the read side alone would break the guarantee that anything
to_ubjson() writes can be read back, and would trip the round-trip assertion
in fuzzer-parse_ubjson.cpp. So the writer falls back to the unoptimized
encoding, one byte per element, for arrays of these types above the same
limit. Its decision depends only on the array's size, which is identical for
a value and for anything parsed back from it, so the round trip is stable.
No existing test changes: the largest such count in the test suite is 65,793.
The excessive-size test that already used this shape still passes, now
rejected a little earlier than by the max_size() check it used to reach.

* Note the 1,048,576 valueless-array limit as (1 << 20) in the docs
Addresses review feedback from @gregmarr on PR #5504: spell out the
binary/hex form next to the decimal count so it reads as the round
power-of-two it is, matching how include/nlohmann/detail/input/binary_reader.hpp

and ubjson.md, as requested.

* Fix to_bjdata() emitting unparsable output when _ArraySize_ is not an array
write_bjdata_ndarray() never checked that _ArraySize_ is an array. The shape
is written verbatim as the header length, so a null shape emitted 'Z' and an
object shape emitted '{' after the '#', neither of which from_bjdata()
accepts, and the round-trip guarantee in the BJData docs was broken.
Both slipped through the existing validation: for null, empty() is true so
the element count starts at 0 and the per-dimension loop never runs, and for
an object the loop walks its values, which can satisfy the non-negative
integer check. When _ArrayData_ then matched that count, the writer took the
ndarray path.
Require the shape to be an array, so anything else falls back to a plain
object encoding that round-trips, as the fallback rule in the docs already
specifies.

* Fix CBOR tag handlers not recognizing tags 0-5 and 21-23
The tagged-item switch in binary_reader::parse_cbor_internal() only handled
head bytes 0xC6-0xD4 and 0xD8-0xDB. Bytes 0xC0-0xC5 (tags 0-5: date/time,
epoch, bignum, decimal, bigfloat) and 0xD5-0xD7 (tags 21-23: base64url,
base64, base16 conversion hints) fell through to the default case and were
reported as invalid bytes, even under cbor_tag_handler_t::ignore and ::store,
despite being valid CBOR major-type-6 tags per RFC 8949.
Add the missing case labels so the full 0xC0-0xDB range is handled
uniformly. Extend the "Tagged values" test in unit-cbor.cpp to cover
0xC0-0xD7, and update the CBOR docs to state the corrected tag range.
Fixes#5315

* Fix stale CBOR tag docs and add store-mode binary-payload test
The "Incomplete mapping" warning still listed tags 0-5 (date/time,
bignum, decimal fraction, bigfloat) and 21-23 (expected conversions)
as unsupported, even though they now parse correctly under
cbor_tag_handler_t::ignore/store, same as 0xC6..0xD4/0xD8..0xDB.
Remove those five bullets and cross-reference the "Tagged items"
warning below, matching the equivalent docs fix landed independently
in PR #5367.
Also add a cbor_tag_handler_t::store test that wraps a binary
payload (not just a string) for every byte in 0xC0..0xD7, confirming
these tags are unwrapped the same way as 0xC6..0xD4 rather than
mistaken for the 0xD8..0xDB binary-subtype marker syntax, per review
feedback on #5331.

* Do not write BJData ndarrays whose size overflows std::size_t
write_bjdata_ndarray() multiplied the _ArraySize_ dimensions into a
std::size_t without checking for overflow. A product that wraps around
to a value that happens to match the size of _ArrayData_ passed the
length check, and the writer emitted an ndarray header announcing an
element count that cannot be represented:
{"_ArrayType_":"uint8","_ArraySize_":[9223372036854775808,2],"_ArrayData_":[]}
was encoded as 5b 24 55 23 5b 4d 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 69 02 5d, an
ndarray of 2^64 elements followed by no data. Reading that back throws
out_of_range.408 ("excessive ndarray size caused overflow"), so to_bjdata
produced output that from_bjdata rejects. This is reachable by parsing
untrusted JSON and re-encoding it as BJData.
Mirror the overflow check the binary reader already performs, and also
reject a single dimension that does not fit into std::size_t, which the
previous cast silently truncated where std::size_t is narrower than 64
bits. Such objects now fall back to a plain object encoding, which is
what the surrounding type and length validation already does for
annotations it cannot represent, and they round-trip unchanged.

* Document when to_bjdata converts a JData annotation to an ND-array
The BJData page described the 1-D vector case as the only situation in
which an object carrying _ArrayType_/_ArraySize_/_ArrayData_ is not
written as a compact ND-array. The writer has always had several other
fallbacks -- an unknown _ArrayType_, a dimension that is not a
non-negative integer, an _ArrayData_ whose length does not match the
product of the dimensions, and elements that are not numbers of the
annotated kind -- all of which cause the value to be serialized as a
regular JSON object instead.
Spell out the conditions, including the size-overflow check added in the
preceding commit, so the documented behavior matches the implementation.
