Add editable json_documents: set, push_back, insert, and erase
basic_json_document gets a second template parameter, Editable (false by default), plus the aliases json_editable_document, json_editable_view, ordered_json_editable_document and ordered_json_editable_view. Editable documents can change values and structure without rewriting the source text: set()/push_back() on values, keys, array indices and JSON pointers; insert() before an array element; erase() of an object key, array index or JSON pointer. New values and element sequences go into edit storage that the document owns and never moves, so views keep referring to their value across edits and a parsed node never moves. Read-only documents walk the plain node array and are unaffected. Strings are checked for UTF-8 on entry, so dump() of an editable document never throws type_error.316. Binary values cannot be stored (type_error.319). A seeded differential test applies random edits to an editable document and to the equivalent ordered_json and compares both after every step.

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

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.

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 undefines them, in the ABI namespace so they always match the basic_json in use. A NUL byte that ends a // comment is the end of the input, as in parse() since #5696. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> |

Add basic_json::as_base_class and document name conflicts with custom base classes (#5589)
* Add basic_json::as_base_class and document name conflicts with custom base classes Members of basic_json hide members of a custom base class with the same name, and future releases may add members that hide ones accessible today. Document this in json_base_class_t and add as_base_class() to reach hidden members without spelling out the cast. Also make json_base_class_t a public member type. It was documented since 3.12.0, but declared private, so users could not name it. Supersedes #3899.

Review and extend the documentation, and check it in CI (#5638)
* 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 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * 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. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Correct the duplicate-key recipe's claim about SAX positions The SAX interface's key() receives no position either; only parse_error() does.

Fix raw-TeX formulas and other documentation infrastructure debt (#5736)
* Fix math formulas rendering as raw TeX in the published docs The privacy plugin self-hosts MathJax 2.7.0 but drops its ?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML query string, so the rehosted script loads no input jax and the 10 formulas across 6 pages render as raw TeX to readers. Remove pymdownx.arithmatex and the MathJax extra_javascript entry, and rewrite the formulas in plain HTML (<sup>, <i>) instead. This also drops a nine-year-old third-party script from every page. Part of #5718 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix publish_documentation triggers and persist unneeded git credentials publish_documentation.yml only triggered on docs/mkdocs/** pushes, but the site also embeds .github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, cmake/{clang,gcc}_flags.cmake, .clang-tidy, tools/astyle/.astylerc and tests/fmt_formatter/project/main.cpp via pymdownx.snippets, so changes to those files never republished the site. Extend the path filter to cover them, and switch runs-on from the long-pinned ubuntu-22.04 to ubuntu-latest to match ci_test_documentation. Also add persist-credentials: false to the checkouts in ci_icpx and ci_nvhpc (ubuntu.yml) and msvc-vs2026/msvc-arm64 (windows.yml), none of which pushes with git, matching every other checkout in these workflows. Part of #5718 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix example build: broken debug echo, deprecations hidden for everything docs/Makefile's debug echo used a space instead of a comma in $(call cxx_standard ...), so it always printed an empty standard. Every example was also compiled with -Wno-deprecated-declarations, which would silently hide an accidental deprecated-API call in any of them. Factor the duplicated compile flags into EXAMPLE_CPPFLAGS/ EXAMPLE_WARNFLAGS, build with -Werror=deprecated-declarations by default, and only allow the three examples that intentionally document deprecated API (the DEPRECATED_EXAMPLES list) to suppress it. Part of #5718 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix check_structure.py NOLINT parsing and an off-by-one report line `line.strip("<!-- NOLINT")` followed by `.strip(" -->")` strips any of the characters in those sets from both ends, not a literal prefix; it only happened to work for "Examples". A NOLINT'd section name starting with N, O, L, I or T (e.g. "Notes", "Template parameters", "Iterator invalidation", "Literals") was silently mangled, so the suppression did not apply and the checker could report a spurious missing/misordered section. Parse the comment with a regex instead. The same fragile strip() pattern was used for heading text; replace it with a plain prefix slice. Also fix the admonition_title report, which used the 0-based line index while every other report in the file uses lineno+1. Part of #5718 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix docset README's non-existent make target and stale fallback URL The README told readers to run `make nlohmann_json.docset`, but the Makefile's targets are `all`, `JSON_for_Modern_C++.docset` and `install_docset_zeal`; the documented command has failed with "No rule to make target" since #2967 (2021). Point the README at the real target and folder name. Info.plist's DashDocSetFallbackURL also still pointed at the old nlohmann.github.io/json/ URL instead of the canonical https://json.nlohmann.me/ from mkdocs.yml's site_url. Leave list_missing_pages/list_removed_paths alone: they may become redundant once #5638's check_docset() lands, which is a follow-up. Part of #5718 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Remove two leftover Doxygen-era .link files from the examples directory parse__iterator_pair.link and parse__pointers.link each held only a Wandbox "online" permalink from the old Doxygen docs. #3071 deleted every other .link file in 2021; these two came in through a parallel PR (#3100) and were never referenced by any page, script or config. Part of #5718 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix MacPorts CMake example to include its own snippet files The MacPorts "Example: CMake" block included integration/homebrew/example.cpp and integration/homebrew/CMakeLists.txt instead of the MacPorts files right next to it, a copy-paste slip from the Homebrew section. Nothing referenced integration/macports/CMakeLists.txt as a result. The page rendered correctly only because the homebrew, macports and vcpkg/CMakeLists.txt snippets are byte-identical, so a future edit to the MacPorts files would not have shown up on the page. Part of #5718 item 6 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Do not persist git credentials in publish_documentation's checkout The checkout step in publish_documentation.yml left the default persist-credentials: true, so GITHUB_TOKEN stayed writable in .git/config for the rest of the job (zizmor's artipacked finding). The Deploy documentation step authenticates through its own github_token input to peaceiris/actions-gh-pages and does not push with the checked-out credentials, so persist-credentials: false is safe here, matching every other checkout in the workflow set. Overlaps #5638, which edits this same checkout step (adds fetch-depth: 0); expect a rebase conflict there. Part of #5718 item 2 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Replace list_missing_pages/list_removed_paths with a comm(1)-based diff The docset Makefile's list_missing_pages ran one sqlite3 query per mkdocs page, and list_removed_paths nested a loop over all mkdocs pages inside a loop over all docset index paths (O(n*m) shell iteration). Issue #5718 item 5 suggested removing or reducing these targets once #5638's check_docset() lands, but that PR is still open and covers only API pages and macros, not the full page set these targets check. Replace the loops with two sorted path lists (DOCSET_PAGE_PATHS from mkdocs' markdown sources, DOCSET_INDEX_PATHS from the built docset index) compared with a single comm(1) call each, verified to produce output identical to the old loops against the current docSet.dsidx. The sed expression used '#' as its delimiter, which GNU Make reads as a comment character even inside a variable assignment, truncating the line and orphaning the closing paren of $(shell ...) ("unterminated call to function 'shell': missing ')'"). Use '@' as the delimiter instead.

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

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

Support custom object/array types and improve template parameter handling (#5443)
* docs: document the implicit requirements on basic_json's template parameters The requirements that basic_json places on its eleven template parameters were only implied by how the library uses the resulting object_t, array_t, string_t, etc. Consumers had to discover them by trial and error. Add "Template Parameter Requirements" collecting them, split into what is always required and what is only required when a particular part of the API is instantiated. Notable findings that were previously undocumented: - ObjectType must provide a key_compare member type (actual_object_comparator names object_t::key_compare in both arms of a std::conditional), and its third template parameter is used as a comparator, so std::unordered_map cannot be used without a wrapper. - ArrayType must provide capacity() -- push_back(), emplace_back(), operator+=(), and operator[](size_type) call it unconditionally -- and needs random-access iterators, so std::deque and std::list do not work. - StringType needs contiguous, null-terminated data(), a one-byte value_type, and either assignability from std::to_string or an ADL int_to_string(). - NumberFloatType must be float, double, or long double for parsing and serialization; the integer types must satisfy std::is_integral. - AllocatorType must be stateless, support incomplete types, and use plain pointers. - BooleanType and the number types are union members and must be trivial. Link the new page from the basic_json overview, the types feature page, and the individual type alias pages, and correct the container examples given for ObjectType (std::unordered_map) and ArrayType (std::list), which do not work. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018hxZxz8svM54c6ATEvXp5E Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix object_comparator_t for object types without key_compare detail::actual_object_comparator selected between object_t::key_compare and default_object_comparator_t with std::conditional. Both type arguments of std::conditional are named eagerly, so object_t::key_compare had to exist regardless of the condition, and the has_key_compare guard added in 3.11.0 never took effect: any ObjectType without a key_compare member type failed to compile while instantiating basic_json itself. Use detected_or_t instead, which resolves through a SFINAE partial specialization and only names object_t::key_compare when it exists. The selected type is unchanged for every object type that compiled before, so object_comparator_t -- a public member type -- keeps its meaning and ABI. has_key_compare had no other users and is removed. Add a regression test using an adapter around std::unordered_map, which has no key_compare; it fails to compile without this change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018hxZxz8svM54c6ATEvXp5E Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: list the types that are known to work for each template parameter Follow up on the template parameter requirements page: state, for every template parameter, which concrete types work and where they stop working. Each entry was verified by compiling and running a common workload (DOM access, dump, parse, CBOR/MessagePack round-trip, flatten, hash) against that instantiation. Findings worth calling out: - ObjectType no longer needs a key_compare member type, so the std::unordered_map adapter only has to restore the template argument order. A hash-ordered ObjectType works everywhere except unflatten(), which reconstructs an array only when it meets the reference token 0 before the other indices. - ArrayType: std::deque works when wrapped to add capacity(); std::list does not. - StringType: std::pmr::string and std::basic_string with a custom allocator compile for the DOM, dump, and parse, but not for the binary readers, flatten, or diff, because the library assigns std::string values to string_t and int_to_string cannot be overloaded for a type in namespace std. - NumberFloatType: long double works for dump and parse but not for the binary formats, which have no encoding for it. - BinaryType: std::vector<std::byte> supports assignment, get, and the binary formats, but neither dump nor std::hash<basic_json>. Also record the object_comparator_t fix in its version history.

With a sorted object type the token 0 always arrives first, so the result was correct by accident; with an object type whose iteration order is unspecified, {"/c/2":3,"/c/1":2,"/c/0":1} unflattened to an object with the keys "0", "1", and "2" instead of an array. Collect the pointer prefixes that have a reference token 0 among their children before building the result, and let get_and_create() consult that set. The outcome is now independent of the iteration order and matches, for every input, what a sorted object type produced before: a value is restored as an array if and only if one of its keys is 0. Iterating the flattened object in a different order would have been simpler, but it would have changed the key order of the result for insertion-ordered object types. The serializer, std::hash, and the UBJSON writer converted the elements of a binary value to an integer implicitly, which does not compile for a BinaryType whose value type is std::byte, and which made dump() write the bytes of a signed value type as negative numbers. Convert to std::uint8_t explicitly in all three places, so every byte type dumps as 0..255. The default std::vector<std::uint8_t> configuration is unaffected.

The page now carries that adapter, and notes that absl::flat_hash_map does not keep references to the mapped values valid across insertions while absl::node_hash_map does. Both have a capacity() member, so JSON_DIAGNOSTICS already refreshes the parent pointers conservatively for them. absl::btree_map and absl::InlinedVector cannot be used at all: object_t and array_t are formed while basic_json is still incomplete, and both inspect their value type at class scope. std::map and std::vector are required by the standard to tolerate this, third-party containers generally are not, so the page states the constraint on its own rather than only per container. absl::InlinedVector does work as BinaryType, where it is instantiated with a complete type. absl::FixedArray and absl::Cord are not usable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018hxZxz8svM54c6ATEvXp5E Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Relax the ArrayType and ObjectType requirements Two requirements forced users of otherwise suitable containers to write a wrapper, and neither was load-bearing. array_t::capacity() was read in push_back(), emplace_back(), operator+=(), and operator[](size_type), but set_parent() only looks at the value under JSON_DIAGNOSTICS; without diagnostics it was computed and discarded. Read it through array_capacity(), which reports unknown_size() when diagnostics are off or when the array type has no capacity() at all, and treat an unknown capacity as "the elements may have moved" so the parent pointers are refreshed conservatively. std::deque now works as ArrayType, in both builds, and capacity() is no longer named at all in a default build. Since the capacity is now only meaningful for array insertions, it moves out of set_parent() into set_parent_after_array_insert(). basic_json::erase(iterator) assigned the object's erase() return value, which requires the container to return the following iterator. Abseil's hash maps return void to avoid computing a successor the caller may not need. Detect that and compute the successor before erasing; containers that return an iterator, including the vector-backed ordered_map where a precomputed successor would be wrong, keep the existing path. Together these leave an Abseil hash map needing only an alias that restores the template argument order, and no adapter at all for std::deque.

That silently required string_t to be implicitly convertible from std::string, which std::string itself and types with a string_view conversion satisfy, but many string types do not. Construct the string_t explicitly from the data and size, which the requirements already cover. This makes boost::container::string, eastl::string, std::pmr::string, and std::basic_string with a custom allocator work as StringType, none of which could previously be used with any binary format. Add binary format coverage to the alt_string test, which had none, including a UBJSON high-precision number -- the case that goes through the reader path. BSON stays uncovered there: it additionally needs string_t::find(value_type), which alt_string does not provide. Also record which containers from Boost, Abseil, and EASTL work for each template parameter, and correct two claims: std::pmr::string is usable after this change, and tsl::ordered_map is not usable at all, because its iterators expose the mapped value as const while basic_json modifies it in place. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: record compatibility for the common header-only hash maps ankerl::unordered_dense (map and segmented_map), phmap (flat_hash_map and node_hash_map), and robin_hood::unordered_flat_map all work as ObjectType through the same adapter as Abseil's and Boost's hash maps, which only has to restore the template argument order. phmap::btree_map and robin_hood::unordered_node_map do not: like the other btree containers they require a complete value type. Note that none of these hash maps defines key_compare, so every one of them depends on object_comparator_t falling back to default_object_comparator_t. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: record Folly and the remaining vector replacements Folly works, with the caveat that its headers need C++20: folly::fbstring as StringType, folly::fbvector and folly::small_vector as ArrayType, folly::fbvector<std::uint8_t> as BinaryType, and folly::F14NodeMap as ObjectType through the usual argument-order adapter. folly::F14FastMap is the exception and requires a complete value type. For ArrayType, boost::container::devector, boost::container::static_vector (within its fixed capacity), and std::pmr::vector work as well. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: cover fifo_map, gtl, folly::sorted_vector_map, and Qt nlohmann::fifo_map works through the adapter that has always been documented for it, and preserves the insertion order. Restore its mention in the object order page, which was dropped together with the tsl::ordered_map one: unlike ordered_map it keeps a lookup index, so it is the insertion-ordered option without the quadratic cost. gtl::flat_hash_map and folly::sorted_vector_map work as well, the latter through an alias that drops the allocator, whose value type it disagrees on. gtl::btree_map does not, for the same reason as the other btree containers. None of the Qt containers can be used, each for its own reason: QMap has no value_type, QHash iterators yield the mapped value rather than a pair, QList has no max_size(), QByteArray spells empty() as isEmpty(), and QString is UTF-16. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: qualify the std::pmr::string support claim Listing std::pmr::string as fully supported was an overclaim: it was only ever checked with the default memory resource, which is not what PMR is for. basic_json cannot be given an allocator or a memory resource, so a pmr string inside a value always allocates from std::pmr::get_default_resource(), and assigning an arena-backed string into a value silently drops its resource, because polymorphic_allocator does not propagate on copy construction. Passing polymorphic_allocator as AllocatorType does not compile either. Only the process-global set_default_resource() redirects these allocations. Say so, and separate the row from std::basic_string with a custom stateless allocator, which is unaffected. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: remove a duplicated StringType compatibility section The StringType section carried two 'Compatible types' tables and two copies of the reference-implementation tip. The second table was a stale copy from before the binary format string fixes and still listed std::pmr::string and std::basic_string with a custom allocator as unusable, contradicting the corrected table a few lines above it, and it dragged along the old explanation that blamed int_to_string. Drop the stale copy and put the surviving table before the notes, so the 'see below' in the std::pmr::string row points forwards. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: correct the template parameter requirements after independent verification Every claim on the page was re-checked by compiling and running it, including the rows that say a type cannot be used, which were checked to fail for the documented reason and not merely to fail. Twenty-four claims were wrong. The most consequential: the incomplete-type constraint applies to ObjectType only. object_t is instantiated inside the class definition, because it is probed for key_compare; array_t is only named there and is not instantiated until basic_json is complete. So eastl::vector, QList and QVector are not excluded by incomplete types at all -- they simply have no max_size() -- and absl::InlinedVector is excluded for a subtler reason of its own. Further corrections: ObjectType does not need erase(key), which has a fallback, but does need at(key) for UBJSON output; only == and < are used, or == and <=> under C++20, not all six; the documented adapter does not fit ankerl or robin_hood. ArrayType needs no initializer-list insert, and value_type, the (count, value) constructor and swappability are per-function, not always. BinaryType needs a range insert for CBOR indefinite-length byte strings and does not need push_back. StringType needs append(const StringType&) unconditionally, and does not need operator!= or operator== against const char*; empty(), resize(n) and reserve(n) are per-subsystem; int_to_string is needed by diff, items and std::hash rather than by JSON Pointer or flatten. BooleanType must be implicitly convertible from bool, and JSONSerializer's second parameter need not carry a default. std::pmr::string was wrong in the other direction this time: a moved-in string does keep its memory resource, and later growth allocates from it. Only copies land on the default resource. Five requirement violations are not caught at compile time rather than the two the page claimed; they are now listed together up front. Split every compatibility table into what works and what does not, as the reasons in the second half are the useful part. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Reduce the string_t and array_t members the library requires Several members were required only because of how the library happened to be written, not because the functionality needs them. Dropping them widens the set of usable string and array types, and one of them was also a performance problem. string_t: - c_str() is gone. Every call site already knew the length and passed it along, so data() is enough. The one place that did not, the diagnostics path in exceptions.hpp, now builds the token from data() and size(), which also stops it from truncating keys that contain a null byte. - back() is gone; the serializer indexes the last character instead. - find(str, pos), replace(), and substr() are gone. escape() and unescape() rebuilt the string with one replace() per escaped character, which moves the tail every time: escaping a string of n characters that all need escaping cost O(n^2). Both now scan with find_first_of() -- a member the pointer parser already required -- and append whole runs, so the common case is one search and one copy. Escaping 64000 tildes drops from 717 ms to 20 ms; a string with nothing to escape gets faster too (8.4 ms to 5.8 ms), because the scan is still a single memchr per pass. json_pointer::split() takes its reference tokens with the (const char*, size_type) constructor rather than substr(). - json_pointer::to_string() accumulates with concat<string_t> instead of letting concat default to std::string and converting afterwards, so streaming a json_pointer no longer requires string_t to be assignable from a std::string. array_t: - at(size_type) is gone. basic_json::at(size_type) checked the index by calling array_t::at() and translating std::out_of_range, which also required the array type to throw that exact exception. It now compares against size() and uses operator[]. The thrown exception, its message, and the behaviour under JSON_NOEXCEPTION are unchanged. The BSON writer wrote the terminating null byte out of the string's own buffer (size() + 1). It now writes the byte itself, so string_t::data() need not be null-terminated for to_bson(). The tests pin the reduced API: alt_string loses the five dropped members and gains coverage of the escaping paths, and a std::vector whose at() is hidden is used as an ArrayType. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: record the reduced string_t and array_t requirements Drop c_str(), back(), find(str, pos), replace(), and substr() from the StringType requirements and at(size_type) from the ArrayType ones, and note the string assignment the JSON pointer code performs. Streaming a json_pointer no longer needs assignability from a std::string. Add the non-null-terminated data() to the list of violations that are not diagnosed at compile time -- it was described in the StringType section but missing from the summary at the top -- and correct the QString row, which no longer fails for the c_str() it lacks. JSON_CATCH_USER no longer wraps a catch of std::out_of_range: the last one went away with array_t::at(). Describe what the library actually catches. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Use character literals for the signed BinaryType test MSVC rejects char(0xFF) with C4310 (cast truncates constant value), which the Windows workflow treats as an error. The character literals carry the same byte values without a narrowing cast. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Do not instantiate a hash map with an incomplete basic_json in the tests object_t is probed for key_compare inside the definition of basic_json, so it is instantiated while basic_json is still incomplete. Whether a hash map survives that depends on the standard library: libstdc++ 9 needs the size of the mapped type to instantiate std::unordered_map's node type and rejects the adapter, which broke the GCC 9 builds. The test now derives its no-key_compare object type from std::map -- which does cope -- and shadows the inherited key_compare member type with an entity that is not a type, so the library's probe finds none, exactly as for a hash map. The unflatten() order-independence checks in unit-json_pointer already cover the behaviour that the unordered object type was there for. The limitation is documented for std::unordered_map. Also address two Clang-Tidy findings the earlier commits introduced: erase_from_object() declares its iterator with auto, and at(size_type) checks the type first and then falls through to the return instead of throwing from an else branch. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Keep diagnostic key paths null-terminated Building the token from data() and size() kept an embedded null byte in the key, and since what() hands out a C string, that truncated the whole message rather than just the key: to_bson() on a key containing U+0000 reported "[json.exception.out_of_range.409] (/en" instead of the full explanation. This broke test-bson under JSON_DIAGNOSTICS. Constructing from data() alone stops at the first null byte, which is what c_str() did before, so the message is unchanged -- without requiring string_t to provide c_str(). Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Do not parse the value in the array-at() test JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS adds the byte range of the value to the exception message, which a parsed value has and an in-memory one does not, so the two message checks failed in that configuration. Build the array in memory instead of parsing it; the test is about at(size_type) not needing array_t::at(), and the byte range is beside the point. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Move the custom BinaryType tests into their own translation unit The two sections added to unit-regression2.cpp brought a third full basic_json instantiation into a translation unit that was already large. With Clang on MinGW that pushed the object over the reach of a 32-bit relocation and test-regression2_cpp20.exe failed to link: relocation truncated to fit: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32 against `.rdata' unit-regression2.cpp is restored to exactly what it was before, and the coverage moves to unit-custom-binary-type.cpp, next to the object and array type tests it belongs with. The signed value type is now also covered in C++11, where std::byte is not available. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Do not require the container iterators to be nothrow move constructible iter_impl declared its defaulted move operations noexcept. The exception specification a defaulted function gets implicitly follows from its members, here internal_iterator, which holds the object and array iterators. libstdc++ gives std::deque's iterator a user-provided copy constructor without noexcept before version 11, so the implicit specification is noexcept(false) and does not match the declared one. That deletes the function -- and with g++ 4.8, which predates CWG 1778, it is an error outright: error: function 'iter_impl<basic_json<std::map, std::deque> >::iter_impl( iter_impl&&)' defaulted on its first declaration with an exception-specification that differs from the implicit declaration So std::deque, which this branch documents as a usable array type, could not be used with an older standard library. Leaving the specification to be computed cannot mismatch; iteration_proxy_value already spells out the same condition next door. The default configuration is unaffected: json::iterator, json::const_iterator and ordered_json::iterator stay nothrow move constructible and move assignable, which the test now checks so it cannot regress unnoticed. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Address two Clang-Tidy findings the custom container tests exposed Both come from instantiating basic_json with containers other than the default ones, and neither shows up with the Clang-Tidy version available outside CI: - insert(const_iterator, basic_json&&) forwards its by-value iterator to the const-reference overload. performance-unnecessary-value-param asks for the copy to be a move; it only fires for an iterator that is not trivially copyable, as std::deque's is not. The NOLINT on the function does not cover it, because the finding is reported where the parameter is used rather than where it is declared. Move it, which is what the check asks for and is a (very small) improvement in its own right. - cppcoreguidelines-use-enum-class rejects the unnamed enum that shadowed the inherited key_compare member type. An enum class would not do, since it declares a type of that name and the probe would find it again; a member function declaration hides the name just as well. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Assert the iterators' exception specification relative to the container The test pinned that nlohmann::json's iterators stay nothrow movable after iter_impl's defaulted move operations lost their declared noexcept. That is not a property of the library, though: the exception specification is now computed from the container iterators, so it holds only for standard library implementations whose iterators are themselves nothrow movable. MSVC's checked iterators before VS2017 are not -- _Iterator_base12 registers the iterator with the container's debug proxy in a copy constructor that carries no noexcept -- so the assertions fail on a Visual Studio 2015 debug build, which is the one debug configuration in the AppVeyor matrix and has no counterpart in the GitHub Actions matrix. Assert what the change actually guarantees instead: the iterators are nothrow movable exactly when the object and array iterators they are built from are. That still pins the default configuration against a silent regression, and it is true whatever the standard library provides. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Detect a void-returning erase() through a named trait erase_from_object() distinguished its two overloads with a decltype of a member call written inline in a default template argument. Every other detection in the library goes through the detector machinery in detected.hpp instead -- has_erase_with_key_type is the same question about the same member function -- and the inline form is the one shape older compilers are least reliable about. Express it the same way: detect_erase_with_iterator plus is_detected_exact, both of which the library already relies on elsewhere. No behaviour changes. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Give the custom container types only the constructors the library uses The three container types in the new tests inherited every constructor of their base with using Base::Base. That asks for more than the test needs: the library builds an object or an array by default construction, by copy or move, and -- when converting between two basic_json types or from an initializer list -- from an iterator range. Declaring those directly makes the requirement visible in the test, and keeps object types out of a corner where a compiler has to declare std::map's whole constructor set for a derived class while basic_json is still incomplete. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Temporarily disable the new custom container tests AppVeyor is the only CI that builds MSVC 2015 and 2017, and it has now rejected three heads of this branch. Its build log is not reachable from where this is being worked on, so the verdict is a single bit and the cause has to be narrowed down by bisection. Everything else stays: the library changes, the reduced alt_string, and the unflatten() tests. If AppVeyor passes with these three translation units disabled, the cause is one of the six basic_json instantiations they add; if it fails, it is in the library. Either way this commit is reverted. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Guard the disabled tests with a macro rather than #if 0 Clang-Tidy's readability-avoid-unconditional-preprocessor-if rejects a literal #if 0. Use a macro that is never defined instead, which the check does not look at. Still temporary, and reverted together with the previous commit. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Re-enable the array and binary container tests AppVeyor passed with all three new translation units disabled, so the library changes, the reduced alt_string, and the unflatten() tests are fine on MSVC 2015 and 2017; the cause is one of the six basic_json instantiations the new tests add. Bring back two of the three. If AppVeyor passes again, the cause is in unit-custom-object-type.cpp, which is the one still disabled; if it fails, it is in one of these two and needs one more split. Still temporary. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Diagnose two silently violated template parameter requirements Both were on the list of requirements that are not caught at compile time and corrupt values rather than failing, and both are a plain size comparison: - A BinaryType whose value_type is wider than one byte, which the readers and writers reinterpret as raw bytes anyway. - A NumberUnsignedType too narrow to hold the absolute value of every NumberIntegerType value, which makes basic_json(INT64_MIN).dump() yield -0 for std::int64_t with std::uint32_t. Neither static_assert rejects a configuration that worked before: both only fire where the result was already wrong. Also add the two comments the review asked for, in write_bson_string() and calc_bson_array_size(), matching the ones their counterparts already carry. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Align the template parameter tables and record what is now diagnosed Every table in the page is reformatted so each column is exactly as wide as its widest cell, which is what the review asked for in a dozen places: the separator rows that ran two dashes long, the stray spaces, and the columns padded well past their content. The row listing six containers that require a complete mapped type is split in two so that one cell no longer sets the width of the whole table. Content changes: NumberUnsignedType is described as any unsigned integer type at least as wide as NumberIntegerType rather than any unsigned integer type; the two requirements that are now static_asserts move out of the list of violations that are not caught at compile time; and the two places that require a non-const operator[] say why data() will not do (std::string has no non-const data() before C++17). Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Bisect the other way: only the object container tests The previous head touched only docs/, which AppVeyor's only_commits filter skips, so it produced no build and no status at all -- the pull request looked green without ever having been built on MSVC 2015 or 2017. Swap the guards instead of repeating that step: unit-custom-object-type.cpp is enabled and the array and binary translation units are disabled. AppVeyor already passed with all three disabled, so a failure here pins the cause on no_key_compare_json or void_erase_json, and a pass pins it on the array or binary file. Still temporary. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Split the two object types apart AppVeyor failed with only unit-custom-object-type.cpp enabled and passed with all three new translation units disabled, so the cause is one of the two object types in this file and not the array or binary ones. Guard out void_erase_map and leave no_key_compare_map, which separates the two constructs under suspicion: shadowing the inherited key_compare member type with an entity that is not a type, and hiding the inherited erase with a void-returning overload. A failure here points at the first, a pass at the second. Still temporary. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Build the no-key_compare object type by composition, not inheritance The "object type without key_compare" test failed on AppVeyor's MSVC 2017 jobs (/std:c++17): its no_key_compare_map derived publicly from std::map and shadowed the inherited key_compare type with a same-named member function, relying on ordinary member hiding to make key_compare unreachable as a type for the library's detection trait. MSVC 2017 does not honor that hiding for a typename-qualified lookup performed from outside the class and still resolves key_compare to the base's comparator type, so object_comparator_t incorrectly picked it up instead of falling back to default_object_comparator_t. Wrapping a std::map by composition instead removes the base class entirely, so there is no key_compare to find under any lookup rule, on any compiler. Also drops the now-unneeded JSON_BISECT_CUSTOM_CONTAINER_TESTS guard left over from narrowing this down: the void_erase_map test in the same file was never the cause and is re-enabled unconditionally. Verified locally with clang++ and g++ under C++17 and C++20. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Re-enable the array and binary custom-container tests unit-custom-array-type.cpp and unit-custom-binary-type.cpp were still guarded behind JSON_BISECT_CUSTOM_CONTAINER_TESTS from bisecting the AppVeyor failure fixed in |

Reserve capacity in from_json() object conversion when the target container supports it (#5472)
* Reserve capacity in from_json() object conversion when supported The object-to-container from_json() overload filled the target container one element at a time without reserving capacity, even when the target type supports reserve() (e.g. std::unordered_map) and the number of elements is already known. This caused unnecessary rehashing while parsing large objects into such containers. Add a reserve-detecting overload (from_json_object_impl), mirroring the priority_tag-based SFINAE technique already used by the array conversion path (from_json_array_impl), so that reserve(size()) is called up front when available and the loop falls back unchanged otherwise (e.g. for std::map). Fixes #5406 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Update doc example outputs for new object-conversion iteration order Reserving capacity in from_json()'s object-conversion path before inserting elements changes libstdc++'s std::unordered_map bucket layout, which changes the iteration order used by get__ValueType_const.cpp, get_to.cpp and operator__ValueType.cpp to print the elements of a converted std::unordered_map<std::string, json>. Verified against a clean develop checkout (built with the same GCC/libstdc++ used in CI) that the old order was produced without this PR's change and the new order is produced with it, and that the three affected examples now match their updated expected output byte-for-byte. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Factor out a reserve-dispatch helper instead of duplicating the object from_json loop Addresses review feedback from @gregmarr on PR #5472: the emplace loop no longer needs to exist twice for the reserve/no-reserve cases. A small from_json_object_reserve() overload pair (SFINAE-dispatched on whether reserve() exists, mirroring the priority_tag technique used elsewhere) either calls reserve() or is a no-op; from_json_object_impl() calls it once.

Format-check the documentation examples in CI (#5386)
* Reformat parser_callback_t example with astyle The file uses "json & /*parsed*/" in three lambda parameter lists, which astyle rewrites to "json& /*parsed*/" per --align-reference=type. The drift went unnoticed because CI never format-checked the documentation examples; "make pretty" does cover them. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Format-check the documentation examples in CI The examples live in docs/mkdocs/docs/examples, but both format checks still referenced the long-gone docs/examples path: - check_amalgamation.yml passed it to find, which printed an error for the missing path and carried on, so astyle only ever saw include and tests. The step still exited 0. - ci.cmake globbed it into INDENT_FILES, and a GLOB_RECURSE over a missing directory silently yields nothing, so the ci_test_amalgamation target skipped the examples too. Either way the 231 example files have never been format-checked. Point both at the real path, and guard the workflow with an explicit directory check so a future rename fails the job instead of quietly shrinking the file list again. Also drop the dead docs/examples/** path filter from publish_documentation.yml; docs/mkdocs/** already covers the examples.

docs: document how discarded values are removed by the parser callback (#5354)
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".

Document a duplicate-object-key rejection recipe (#5259)
* 📝 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. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Cross-link the duplicate-key recipe with the existing object_t behavior docs object_t.md and features/types/index.md already document that duplicate object keys resolve to an unspecified value (RFC 8259 leaves this to the implementation). The new recipe's intro overstated this as a guaranteed "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. Reworded the recipe to point at object_t's "unspecified" behavior instead of asserting a specific rule, and added cross-links from both existing pages to the new recipe. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Turn the duplicate-key recipe into a standalone, compiled example Replace the inline code fence in the "rejecting duplicate object keys" recipe with a proper docs/mkdocs/docs/examples/*.cpp + .output pair, included via --8<-- like every other example on the site. The .output file was generated by running it through the project's actual example build (docs/Makefile: single_include, -std=c++11, -DJSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS=0) and cross-checked with `make check_output`, and the source passes the pinned astyle 3.4.13 formatting unchanged.
