Niels Lohmann 32853d2c90 Do not shrink the output of dump()
finish() copied the whole output when the buffer was more than twice as
large as the result (citm dump +11%). The tighter source_extent()
estimate already keeps the buffer of a small value small.

The non-little-endian path of the node writer wrote the integer's native

Niels Lohmann 2ba331e4d0 Size the dump buffer of a small value by its own extent
The source extent of a value was read from the next node, falling back to the rest of the document when that node held a decoded string. dump() of a small value could thus allocate a buffer as large as the document.

Niels LohmannandAfonso Januário a5f5d3059b Make std::hash<basic_json> consistent with operator== for numbers (#5772)
* Make std::hash<basic_json> consistent with operator== for numbers

operator== converts between number_integer, number_unsigned, and
number_float before comparing, so json(0), json(0U), and json(0.0)
all compare equal. hash() folded the specific value_t into the
result for each of the three numeric cases, giving each a distinct
hash and breaking the standard Hash requirement that a == b implies
hash(a) == hash(b). A std::unordered_set could therefore hold all
three as separate elements even though they compare equal.

hash() now treats all three numeric variants the same way: it
converts the value to number_float_t and combines it with a single
shared type tag, so any two numbers operator== considers equal hash
identically regardless of which internal type actually holds them.

Updated the accompanying test to check this consistency directly
(including via an actual unordered_set) instead of asserting that 0,
0U, and 0.0 hash differently, since that assumption was the bug.
Also corrected the function's own doc comment and the std::hash API
docs, which described the old behavior as intended.

Fixes #5400

* Normalize -0.0 in number hashes and test range ends

operator== compares numbers exactly since #5459, so equal numbers
share one value and convert to the same number_float_t. Update the
comment accordingly, map -0.0 to 0.0 before hashing (std::hash need
not do that), and test -0.0 and the ends of the integer ranges. Show
hash(0.0) in the docs example and note the change in the version
history.

* Clarify hash documentation after review

- Say "may hash differently" for null, false, and numbers, since a
  collision across types is possible.
- Name the storage types (signed integer, unsigned integer,
  floating-point number) instead of example literals.
- Explain that the hash survives converting an integer to
  number_float_t but not the lossy conversion back, and that unequal
  numbers may share a hash.
- State that the example hash values are illustrative only and vary by
  platform, compiler, compiler version, and library version.

43fe8928e1 Stop binary writers overflowing the stack on deep values (#5781)
* Stop binary writers overflowing the stack on deep values

to_cbor, to_msgpack, and to_ubjson recurse once per nesting level.
The parser is iterative, so a value the library accepts can crash on
the way back out.

Keep the existing recursive path for the first 128 levels and finish
anything deeper on a heap stack. Output is unchanged. BSON is left
alone because its extra size walk is a separate change.

Rebased onto the value-type output sink. The heap frames now initialize
every member, which is what -Weffc++ was rejecting.

* Redesign the iterative binary writers around a shared recursion depth limit

Address the open review on the non-recursive CBOR/MessagePack/UBJSON/BJData
writers (#5518):

- Delete the CBOR array/object prefix helpers; both the recursive and
  iterative paths call write_cbor_head(), which already existed on develop.
- MessagePack: share one write_msgpack_array_prefix()/write_msgpack_object_prefix()
  helper per container kind between the recursive and iterative paths, both
  going through to_msgpack_length() so an over-long container throws
  out_of_range.412 identically either way.
- Reuse detail::recursion_depth_limit() instead of a separate constant, the
  same bound serializer::dump() and write_bson_document() already use.
- Redesign the frames after bson_frame/dump_frame: only a container with
  elements is ever pushed, its header is written at the point it is pushed,
  and the iterator is set in the frame's constructor instead of a
  default-then-assign two-step with a since-removed "started" flag. The
  UBJSON frame keeps only the value pointer, the per-element prefix_required
  flag, and the iterator; write_closer and is_object are no longer stored,
  since the former is always !use_count (use_count is constant for the whole
  document) and the latter follows from value->is_object().
- Factor the BJData ND-array shape check into is_bjdata_ndarray(), used by
  both the recursive object case and the iterative pushing logic.
- Give the frame classes the GCC -Weffc++ treatment already used for
  diff_frame: a noexcept converting constructor plus the five special members
  defaulted with no explicit noexcept.
- Fix two @ref self-references in write_cbor/write_msgpack/write_ubjson's own
  doc comments to point at the public to_cbor/to_msgpack/to_ubjson/to_bjdata
  API instead.
- The iterative object-key write for CBOR/MessagePack now runs the same
  strict-mode check_utf8() against the parent object as diagnostics context
  that the recursive path already ran, so the two paths raise identical
  diagnostics across the switch-over.
- Rewrite the tests: round trips instead of a bare size check, byte-exact
  comparisons against the recursive output at depths around the bound, a
  deep object and a BJData ND-array past the bound, a deep discarded value
  (type_error.321), and the OSS-Fuzz 566583014 CBOR/MessagePack regression.

BSON is unaffected by this change; it already walks its documents
iteratively and is covered separately by #5553.

Niels Lohmann da1ca7f9d7 Add dump() and comparisons to json_view
Add basic_json_view::dump() and the comparison operators, and read
floats from the parser's digit layout instead of rescanning the
token.

dump(indent, indent_char, ensure_ascii, number_format) writes a
value the way ordered_json::parse(text).dump() writes it for the
same arguments: members in document order, all of them should a
key occur more than once; strings escaped by the same rules, using
the library's scanning kernels; floats written with the library's
to_chars conversion, so the output equals basic_json's byte for
byte; integers copied from the source, where they are already
canonical, except -0, which parse() reads as 0. There is no
error_handler argument, because the view only holds valid UTF-8.
number_format::source copies numbers exactly as they appear in the
source (e.g. "1.50", "1E2", "-0"), which basic_json cannot provide.
operator<< takes the indentation from the stream width, as for
basic_json. The writer walks iteratively, so nesting depth is
limited by memory only.

operator== and operator!= compare two views, or a view and a
basic_json value in either order, by the rules basic_json's
operator== uses: numbers compare by value across their types,
objects compare by their members with duplicate keys resolved as
parse() resolves them, member order matters only where the object
type keeps one, and discarded views compare as discarded basic_json
values do, including under JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON.
Nothing is materialized except single scalars.

While parsing, the view now records where the integer digits, the
fraction digits, and the exponent of a float token are, so floats
and doubles with at most 19 digits are read from that layout with
the library's decimal_to_float() instead of rescanning the token.
Both round correctly, so the values are those of parse(). get<double>(),
materialize(), dump(), and the comparisons all use it.

Niels Lohmann 77acd4563c Add element access, iteration, values, and JSON pointers to json_view
Give basic_json_view the read-only access functions of basic_json:
operator[] and at() with keys and indices, front()/back(), find(),
contains(), count(), begin()/end() and cbegin()/cend(), items()
with structured bindings from C++17 on, and type_name().

Exceptions have the ids and messages of the const functions of
basic_json. Where basic_json has undefined behavior the view
answers safely: operator[] with a missing key or an out-of-range
index returns a discarded view, and front()/back() of an empty
container throw invalid_iterator.214. Objects are iterated in
document order, and all members are visited; duplicate-key lookups
find the first member (as yyjson and simdjson do), while parse(),
materialize(), and the map conversions keep the last value, as
parse() does. Keys of up to 16 bytes are compared with two
overlapping loads.

Add value conversions: get<T>()/get_to() for arithmetic types,
bool, nullptr_t, strings (std::basic_string copied,
string_view_t without a copy), BasicJsonType, views, std::vector,
and maps with string keys; get_string() for the string without a
copy; number_token() for the number exactly as written in the
source; value() with keys and JSON pointers; and operator[]/at()/
contains() with JSON pointers. Everything else, including types
with from_json(), goes through materialize() of that subtree.
get<T>() of arithmetic types is inlined down to the conversion, so
reading an integer needs no call.

detail::json_pointer_access exposes a pointer's reference tokens
to code outside basic_json.

Niels Lohmann 759dd2e1b1 Add json_document and json_view: node index, parser, and document
Add json_document and json_view, a read-only, zero-copy index of a
JSON text, as the first public slice of the zero-copy view (#5295).

A parse produces a flat array of 16-byte nodes in document order,
one per value and one per object key. Strings stay in the source
text; escaped strings are decoded into an arena. Integers are
converted while their digits are in the cache; floats keep only
their digit layout and are converted on read. Containers store the
size of their subtree, so a reader can step over one in constant
time. A document makes a handful of allocations, however many
values it has.

The parser accepts exactly what json::parse accepts, with every
combination of ignore_comments and ignore_trailing_commas, with and
without a trailing NUL, and under JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING. It is
portable C++11 and does not depend on byte order.

basic_json_document adds parse, parse_copy, accept, read (reuses a
document's memory), root, is_discarded, source, owns_source,
node_count, memory_usage, and shrink_to_fit. basic_json_view adds
type, the is_* queries, operator bool, size, empty, materialize,
and source_offset. A parse error throws the same exception
basic_json::parse would throw for the same input, message and
position included.

detail::abi_config keeps JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING and
JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON readable after json.hpp

Niels Lohmann bfa4886f0f Write doubles with the shortest digits (Żmij), digits in registers
Write doubles with the conversion of Zmij by Victor Zverovich (MIT),
ported to C++11 (detail/conversions/zmij.hpp). It finds the
shortest decimal that reads back as the same double, and the
closest one if there are several. Grisu2, used until now, is fast
but not always shortest: it sometimes writes a 17th digit where 16
suffice, or a last digit that is not the closest. The layout is
unchanged (1.5, 100.0, 1e+100, -0.0); float keeps Grisu2.

Digits are converted eight at a time with the BCD conversion of
Xiang JunBo, as in Zmij, and written with one byte swap per eight
digits and fixed-size moves instead of per-digit loops. Leading and
trailing zeros are counted from those bytes. to_chars() uses a
local buffer when the caller's is shorter than the 41 bytes this
may write. The powers of ten come from the number-parsing table,
adjusted where it holds values rounded up, and extended with Zmij's
compressed tables beyond 10^308.

write_shortest() converts its 16 digits in one vector register
(SSE2 on x86-64, NEON on 64-bit Arm, both baseline) and inserts the
decimal point inside the register, avoiding a store-forwarding
stall that cost about 25% of the time to write a double. dump()
writes floats and integers straight into the serializer's write
buffer instead of copying them from a member buffer, and small
integers eight digits at a time. read_eight_bytes() and
parse_eight_digits() are marked always-inline, which GCC had been
calling out of line in the number-parsing loops.

Of one million random doubles, about 0.14% are now written with
different digits, always to a value that still reads back as the
same double.

Niels Lohmann 68d61b6aef Speed up the lexer: own float parser, string scan, and \u table
Give the library its own correctly rounded float converter for
binary32 and binary64 (IEEE 754), and speed up the lexer's string
and escape scanning.

The converter splits a number token into sign, significand, and
decimal exponent, then tries Clinger's fast path, then a templated
Eisel-Lemire step, and falls back to an exact big-integer digit
comparison for tokens with more than 19 significant digits whose two
candidate values round differently. This replaces std::from_chars
and strtod/strtof for both formats, so parsed values no longer
depend on the C/C++ library or the current locale. The strtold
fallback kept for other long double formats (x87, binary128) now
also copies a multi-byte decimal point correctly, fixing #5660.
eisel_lemire() and decimal_to_float() are always inlined so callers
keep the whole conversion in their hot loop.

The string-scanning kernels in string_scan.hpp find a stop byte with
the trailing-zero count of the SWAR mask instead of a byte loop, and
scalar_string_bulk_run() validates a run of multi-byte UTF-8
sequences one after another instead of re-searching after each one.

get_codepoint() decodes a contiguous \uXXXX escape with one table
lookup per byte instead of four range-checked get() calls; the
streaming path and all error positions are unchanged.

Adds 508 generated hard float-parsing cases with expected binary32
and binary64 bits, and kernel-comparison tests for the string scans
and the escape table against byte-by-byte references.

Niels Lohmann 367336c83d Fix CI on develop after #5585 (#5779)
* Fix CI on develop after #5585

- test-diagnostics-optimized: -O3 makes GCC's -Winline and

- Infer: raise pulse-max-disjuncts from 20 to 40. With the default,

Niels Lohmann 1c754cfe31 Copy a pair-shaped array value under JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS (#5701)
With JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS enabled, single-element brace
initialization from a JSON value decided whether to copy the value or
build an object by inspecting the value's runtime shape: a two-element
array whose first element is a string, such as ["key", 42], was turned
into an object instead of being copied. This made the behavior depend
on the element's content, and it did not distinguish an existing value
of this shape from a nested braced pair written in the source, such as
the inner {"key", "value"} of {{"key", "value"}}.

json_ref now records whether it was constructed from a braced list
(true only for the std::initializer_list<json_ref> constructor used
for nested braced lists) or from a value. The initializer-list
constructor uses this to copy or move a single non-braced-list element
before deciding whether the list describes an object, so a JSON value
is always copied regardless of its shape, while a braced pair written
in the source still creates an object.

Fixes #5662.
