Follow-up to #5342, which fixed the parser callback leaving a discarded
member behind when an array or a value under an object key was rejected.
The documentation of parser_callback_t only stated that discarded values
in structured types are skipped, without saying that this covers object
parents and that the key is removed along with the value, so there was no
way to tell the fixed behavior from the buggy one.
Spell out the discarding rules, add an example that exercises the cases
the fix repaired, and correct the return value description: a discarded
top-level value is replaced by null, not by "an empty discarded object".

* 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.

vendored Doctest (DOCTEST_ANONYMOUS, used by TEST_CASE and SECTION).

* 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.

is_comparable used a flat && chain to both exclude json_pointer/string
comparisons (added for #4621) and check whether Compare(A, B) is well-formed.
Naming std::is_constructible<decltype(...)> as a later operand of that chain
still causes the decltype to be substituted regardless of the first
operand's value, since the operands aren't lazily deferred like
std::conjunction would defer them. That instantiates the transparent
std::equal_to<>::operator() used by ordered_json, whose noexcept-specifier
evaluates the deprecated json_pointer/string operator==, which Clang (unlike
GCC in this case) warns about even though the result is discarded.
Split is_comparable so the Compare(A, B) checks live in a separate helper
that is only referenced from the specialization selected when
is_json_pointer_of is false, so the decltype is never written when A/B are
a json_pointer/string pair, regardless of compiler.

operator>>'s notes state that it leaves the stream positioned right
after the parsed value, so that concatenated JSON values can be read
back to back. That does not hold when the value is a number: a number
is only terminated by the character that follows it, and the lexer's
unget() is simulated (it rewinds only the lexer's own bookkeeping),
so that character stays consumed from the stream.
Document the actual behaviour: the guarantee holds for all value types
except numbers, which must be followed by whitespace. Also qualify the
cross-reference on the JSON Lines page, which repeated the unqualified
claim.

_ArrayType_ names the wire type, not how the value is stored: parsing

an int literal as number_integer. Selecting the union member from the
type marker therefore reads the inactive alternative for one of the two,
so read through get<> instead, which dispatches on the active member.

* Add iterator+sentinel tests and docs for binary deserializers
This commit extends the C++20 ranges support (iterator+sentinel pairs) to the
binary format deserializers from_cbor, from_msgpack, from_ubjson, from_bjdata,
and from_bson, matching what was already done for parse(), accept(), and
sax_parse().
Changes:
- Add istreambuf_sentinel helper to test_utils.hpp for EOF detection in tests
- Add 5 new test cases that read binary files directly via
std::istreambuf_iterator<char> + sentinel, without pre-buffering
- Update documentation for all 5 from_* functions to document overload (3)
with SentinelType parameter
- All tests pass; verified against existing test suite data
- Fix potential buffer over-read warning in heterogeneous iterator test

* Merge iterator+sentinel overloads and fix ambiguity/CI issues
Address PR review feedback and CI failures:
- Merge the separate same-type and sentinel-type iterator overloads of
parse(), accept(), sax_parse(), and the five from_* binary deserializers
into a single overload with SentinelType defaulted to IteratorType,
as suggested in review. Applied the same simplification to the
detail::input_adapter() free functions.
- Fix a latent ambiguity: some compilers (e.g. GCC 4.8) unreliably SFINAE
the operator!= detection for std::nullptr_t against container/string
types, making calls like parse(s, nullptr, ...) ambiguous with the
compatible-input overload. can_compare_ne now explicitly excludes
std::nullptr_t as a SentinelType.
- Use a named enable_if_t template parameter instead of an unnamed
function parameter for the SFINAE guard, fixing a clang-tidy
hicpp-named-parameter/readability-named-parameter failure.
- Update parse.md, accept.md, sax_parse.md, and the five from_*.md pages
to document the merged overload instead of separate (2)/(3) overloads,
also fixing an over-160-char line that broke the documentation
style_check CI job.

present in the test suite instead of writing/deleting a temp file.

- Update from_json to handle both binary and array inputs for custom BinaryType
- Add #include <vector> with IWYU comment to from_json.hpp

* Fix container input_adapter SFINAE for lvalue-only ADL begin/end (#111)
The container overload of json::parse(c) / accept(c) / sax_parse(c, ...)
silently dropped from overload resolution for user types whose ADL
begin(T&) / end(T&) accepted only non-const lvalue references
(a legitimate pattern matching std::begin semantics). This was because
the detection code used std::declval<ContainerType>() which synthesized
an rvalue, and the rvalue failed to bind to lvalue-only ADL functions.
Fix by making both the outer input_adapter(ContainerType&&) and the
factory's create(ContainerType&&) forwarding references, preserving the
caller's value category and constness via reference collapsing. This
ensures detection (std::declval) and actual use (std::forward) always
match without needing decay/remove_reference.
- Rewrite input_adapters.hpp container overload with forwarding refs
- Add regression tests for lvalue-only non-const ADL begin/end
- Add regression test for rvalue containers (no breakage)
- Update API docs (parse, accept, sax_parse, from_*) to clarify
that begin/end must match std::begin/std::end semantics
- Add version history notes for 3.13.0
- Regenerate amalgamation
Second-order effect: binary_reader.hpp's internal call to
input_adapter(number_vector) now deduces iterator vs const_iterator
based on the lvalue; functionally harmless (iterator_input_adapter is
iterator-type-agnostic), verified via unit-ubjson/unit-bjdata tests.

* 📝 Document a duplicate-object-key rejection recipe
RFC 8259 leaves handling of duplicate object keys to the implementation;
this library silently keeps only the last value for a repeated key.
Discussion #5085 asked for an opt-in rejection mode. Decision: don't
change library behavior, but document the existing parser-callback
workaround instead.
Adds a "Recipe: rejecting duplicate object keys" section to
parser_callbacks.md, adapted from a community-contributed workaround.
Fixed an off-by-one bug in the original snippet: object_start reports
the depth of the object's parent, while key events inside that object
report depth+1, so indexing the per-depth key set with the same depth
in both places caused an out-of-bounds access on nested objects.
Verified the published snippet compiles and behaves correctly for flat
duplicates, nested duplicates, sibling objects sharing key names, and
arrays of objects.

"last value wins" rule, which isn't true in general -- parsing text keeps
the last value, but constructing from an initializer list keeps the first.

* Fix#3868: Remove operator!= to enable P2468R2 rewritten candidate synthesis
Under C++20 P2468R2, a hand-written operator!= suppresses the compiler's
rewritten-candidate synthesis for operator==, preventing heterogeneous
comparisons like `std::string s; json j; s == j;` from compiling.
Fix by removing the hand-written operator!=, allowing the compiler to
synthesize != as !(a==b) in all language modes (C++20 member functions
and pre-C++20 friend functions).
Behavior change: operator!= now returns !(a==b) unconditionally, including
for special values like NaN and discarded. This means:
- NaN != NaN now returns true (matches IEEE-754 semantics)
- discarded != x now returns true for any x (matches !(discarded == x))
This also fixes underlying defects in previously-working code:
- Restores direct == comparison for views vs json (reverts std::ranges::equal
workaround added in PR #3950 to dodge this bug)
- Re-enables std::string == json comparisons (uncomments check in
unit-constructor1.cpp)

* Fix stale Clang -Weverything suppression comments; eliminate -Wno-missing-noreturn
cmake/clang_flags.cmake claimed -Wno-unsafe-buffer-usage was needed only
for Doctest and that -Wno-missing-noreturn had "no way to silence...
otherwise" (PR #4871, which never actually attempted a source fix).
Neither held up under investigation (todo 130):
- -Wno-unsafe-buffer-usage is pervasive (208 distinct sites across 19
files measured with clang trunk in silkeh/clang:dev), spanning the
library's own low-level numeric/buffer code (to_chars, serializer,
lexer, binary reader/writer, input adapters, json_pointer) as well as
vendored Doctest itself (96 of the 208 sites). A source-level fix is
not feasible at this scale; the comment now says so instead of
blaming Doctest alone.
- -Wno-missing-noreturn had exactly two real trigger sites, both
genuinely and unconditionally non-returning: a test-only throwing
allocator (tests/src/unit-allocator.cpp) and, previously undiscovered,
wide_string_input_adapter::get_elements<T>() in
include/nlohmann/detail/input/input_adapters.hpp. Verified this isn't
a wider pattern by checking all 160 JSON_THROW call sites in the
library for functions whose entire body is an unconditional throw.
Annotated both ([[noreturn]] in the test file, since JSON_HEDLEY_NO_RETURN
is #undef'd by the time test code runs; JSON_HEDLEY_NO_RETURN in the
library file, its first real use anywhere in the codebase) and
dropped the suppression entirely.
single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp regenerated via `make amalgamate`;
`make check-amalgamation` passes.
Verified in Docker (silkeh/clang:dev, matching the ci_static_analysis_clang
CI job): baseline builds clean, and the full 194-target test suite builds
with zero warnings under the corrected CLANG_CXXFLAGS (-Wno-missing-noreturn
no longer in the list). Also sanity-compiled and ran unit-allocator.cpp and
unit-wstring.cpp on host Apple Clang to confirm behavior is unchanged.

* Fix MSVC C4702 warning caused by JSON_HEDLEY_NO_RETURN on get_elements()
PR #5250 annotated wide_string_input_adapter::get_elements<T>() with
JSON_HEDLEY_NO_RETURN (it unconditionally throws). On MSVC this expands to
__declspec(noreturn), and MSVC correctly determined that the code following
its call in binary_reader.hpp is unreachable for that instantiation, firing
C4702 under /W4 /WX in the msvc, msvc-vs2026, and msvc-arm64 Debug jobs.
Clang doesn't flag this case, so the Docker verification for #5250 (which
only checked Clang -Weverything) didn't catch it.
This is the same warning class already tolerated for Release builds since
PR #5216, where MSVC's optimizer independently found the same dead code
after /Od was removed. Extend that existing /wd4702 suppression to Debug
builds too, instead of reverting the noreturn annotation.
