* docs: new design for the documentation site
Apply the brand to the Material for MkDocs site: Inter and JetBrains Mono
served by the site (upright and real italic), brand colours, blue header band
with the syntax pattern, wordmark in the header, new home page (hero, cards,
animated feature tour), 404 page, polish for tabs, search, footer, focus
rings, tables and code blocks, and theme features (code copy, previous/next
footer, TOC follow, search suggestions).
Draw the number railroad diagram, the parser callback events and the iterator
illustrations as inline SVGs that follow the light and dark scheme. The
generator scripts are in docs/mkdocs/scripts/figures; the feature slideshow
(json-light.svg, json-dark.svg, replacing json.gif on the home page) is built
by docs/mkdocs/scripts/slideshow. Decision nodes in five flowcharts become
hexagons, which need far less room.

* docs: add figures, table captions and a macro chooser
- Figures with numbered captions: SAX stepper, json_view layout and edit
stepper, exception map, JSON pointer and patch walkers, QA pipeline,
scaling and binary size charts, roadmap lanes, release timeline,
integration decision tree and namespace builder
- Table captions (nj-table-caption) on 9 pages
- Compile times: modules and PCH charts, filesystem section, re-measured
Figure 1, links between features/modules.md and compile_times.md
- Interactive macro chooser for features/arbitrary_types.md
- Link check: exclude URLs that answer the plugin with 400/401/419 or are
dead (customers.md)

* Document MessagePack ext types and fix related doc errors
Add an "Extension types (ext, fixext)" section to the MessagePack page:
ext/fixext are read as binary, the signed ext type is exposed as an
unsigned subtype 0..255 (-1 reads as 255), Timestamp is not interpreted,
subtypes are always written as ext/fixext, and subtypes above 255 throw
out_of_range.415. Add the 0xC1 row to the deserialization table, note
that duplicate keys keep the last value, and correct the NaN/Infinity
explanation, the "31 bytes / 15 elements" wording, the ill-formed UTF-8
sentence, and the generic 0xC1-key error message.
Add fixext16 and the unsigned subtype mapping to binary_t.md and
binary_values.md, reword "maximum of the MessagePack ext type" in
to_msgpack.md and exceptions.md, and mark MessagePack deserialization
as incomplete (non-string keys) in the binary formats overview.

* Throw type_error.321 when serializing discarded values to binary formats
The CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON, BJData, and BSON writers silently
skipped the payload of a value_t::discarded value nested in an array
or object, while still writing its slot in the element/member count
(and, for BSON, its entry header), producing a binary document whose
declared size does not match what was actually written.
Throw type_error.321 instead, for a discarded value anywhere in the
tree, including at the top level.
Rewritten from the original PR against the current (non-recursive
option aside) binary_writer.hpp, which has changed substantially since
this was first proposed; the out_of_range.412 MessagePack size check
and unrelated test reformatting from that PR are dropped as out of
scope here.

* Document and test type_error.321 for discarded binary values
Add docs for the new exception (home/exceptions.md and the Exceptions
sections of to_cbor/to_msgpack/to_ubjson/to_bjdata/to_bson) and test
coverage for a discarded value nested in an array or object, nested
deeper, and (for UBJSON/BJData) inside an optimized same-type array,
for each of CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON, BJData, and BSON. Adjust the
three pre-existing "discarded" tests that asserted the old silent
behavior (empty/short output) to expect type_error.321 instead.

* 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

* Keep the customer links that could not be fixed
A dead link on the customers page is still the evidence of where the
use of the library was documented. Keep the original URLs of the entries
without a working replacement (Marne, Cisco Webex Desk Camera, Philips
Hue, CyberArk) and exclude exactly these URLs from the link check.

- patch/patch_inplace: list the JSON pointer errors parse_error.106-109
and out_of_range.402/404, and quote the actual parse_error.105 message.
- unflatten: list parse_error.106/107/108 and out_of_range.404.
- to_bson: list out_of_range.415 (binary subtype above 255) and note
that 412 and 415 are new in 3.13.0.
- to_string: state that string_t must be convertible to std::string, also
in the StringType requirements table.
- JSON Lines: a `while (input >> j)` loop also throws after the last value
for concatenated JSON values; show a loop that works for both.
- BON8: a string gets 0xFF only if nothing follows it in the message; a
string at the end of an array or object is ended by 0xFE.
- custom_string_type.hpp: add operator+=(char), which the "Always
required" list asks for (json_pointer::to_string, flatten, unflatten,
and diff did not compile), and an ADL int_to_string for diff and items.

* Fix to_msgpack() reading the inactive number union member
basic_json stores number_integer and number_unsigned in a union, and
number_unsigned_t only has to be at least as wide as number_integer_t
(with the default types, both are 64-bit and have the same
representation). When number_integer_t is narrower, write_msgpack()
read the wrong union member in two places:
- The number_unsigned case wrote number_integer's bits instead of
number_unsigned's, silently writing the wrong value whenever it
did not fit in number_integer_t.
- The number_integer case (non-negative branch) picked the encoded
width by comparing number_unsigned's bits, which is undefined
behavior, though the value written was still number_integer's, so
at worst a too-wide encoding was chosen.
Read the active member in both cases, like the other binary writers
(CBOR, UBJSON, BJData, BSON, BON8) already do.
Fixes#5644.

* 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.

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

BSON keys (and array indices) are C-style strings, which were read byte

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

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

* 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

* Convert the bytes of the BON8 test strings explicitly

* Throw instead of writing MessagePack lengths beyond UINT32_MAX
MessagePack stores the length of a string, binary value, array, or
object in at most 32 bits. For a larger value, to_msgpack wrote no length
at all, so the output could not be read back. It now throws
out_of_range.412, which BSON already uses for its 32-bit length fields.
The check lives in one function, so each length is written by an
if/else chain that ends in a plain else, without a condition that can
never be false. It is tested with string and binary types that report a
size beyond UINT32_MAX without allocating it, like the BSON tests do.

* Fix the CI failures of the MessagePack length check
- mark to_msgpack_length's value as used when exceptions are disabled

- put "Exception safety" before "Exceptions" in to_msgpack.md, as the
documentation style check requires
- create the test's string value from its type: constructing it from a
beyond_uint32_string_t considers the std::filesystem::path conversion,
which libstdc++ 10 reports as ambiguous for a class derived from
std::string (clang 13)
Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>
* Skip the MessagePack string length test for clang with libstdc++ 10
C++17 builds consider the std::filesystem::path conversion for the
string type, and with clang and libstdc++ 10 that conversion is
ambiguous for a class derived from std::string. Creating the value from
its type did not avoid it, since any basic_json with that string type
instantiates the check. The binary and ext cases are still tested there.
