Long runs of string bytes are scanned 16 at a time with NEON (AArch64, with
GCC and Clang) and SSE2 (x86-64): both belong to the baseline instruction
sets. A signed compare with 0x20 finds control characters and non-ASCII
bytes at once. Keys keep 16 table checks before the vector loop (their
lengths repeat from record to record, so the branches predict well);
string values have 8, as their lengths vary more.
Non-ASCII text is validated 16 bytes at a time with the "lookup4" check of
simdjson (J. Keiser and D. Lemire, "Validating UTF-8 In Less Than One
Instruction Per Byte", 2021): with NEON, and on x86-64 with SSSE3 if
JSON_VIEW_USE_SSSE3 is defined (SSSE3 is not part of x86-64, and the code
must not depend on the flags of a translation unit). JSON_VIEW_NO_SIMD
selects the portable code. The vector code sits in
detail/view/simd.hpp; the same input is accepted either way.
json_document::parse, best of 7 runs in separate processes (M1 Max):
poet.json (CJK text) -72%, random.json -25%, twitter.json -22%,
gsoc-2018.json -20%, semanticscholar -19%, github_events -11%,
apache_builds -9.5%, canada/citm -5/-6%; lottie +4%, tree-pretty +2.5%.
Tests: every two-byte sequence and three- and four-byte sequences with
continuation bytes at the edges of their ranges, at every offset around
the vector blocks of keys and values, cut short, and long runs of text
with a damaged byte, against json::accept and json::parse. CMake builds
the parser tests again with JSON_VIEW_NO_SIMD, and on x86-64 with
JSON_VIEW_USE_SSSE3 and -mssse3; the macros are documented.

The parser records where the integer digits, the fraction digits, and the
exponent of a float token are. For floats and doubles with at most 19
digits, the value is now read from that layout: the digits eight at a time,
without scanning the token, and rounded by the library's conversion core
(detail::decimal_to_float(): Clinger's fast path where both operands are
exact, else the Eisel-Lemire algorithm, which needs no fallback for up to 19
digits). It rounds correctly, so the values are those of parse(); other
tokens and types keep the library's conversion of the whole token.
get<double>(), materialize(), dump(), and comparisons use it. Traversing
canada.json (111,000 floats, every number converted): 0.95 -> 1.29 GB/s.
Tests add tokens around the limits (19 and 20 digits, 2^53, 10^22, and
those of float) to the bit-for-bit comparison with parse().

basic_json_view gains operator== and operator!= with other views and with
basic_json values. Two views are equal if the values parse() would
produce for them are equal by basic_json's operator==: numbers compare by
value across their types, and objects by their members, with duplicate
keys resolved as parse() resolves them (the last value, at the position of
the first key). Objects are compared in member order if the object type
keeps an order (ordered_json), by key otherwise, as basic_json does.
Discarded views compare as discarded basic_json values do, which follows
JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON. Nothing is materialized except
single numbers, and the walk is iterative.
Tests compare the results for pairs of 1,200 generated documents (also
written differently: sorted keys, canonical numbers) with those of
basic_json, for json and ordered_json, plus numbers, duplicate keys,
member order, discarded values, and 100,000 levels of nesting.

basic_json_view::dump(indent, indent_char, ensure_ascii, number_format)
writes the text of a value as 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 and with the
library's scanning kernels, floats with the library's conversion, and
integers copied from the source, where they are canonical except "-0".
With number_format::source, numbers are copied as they appear in the
source ("1.50", "1E2", "-0", all digits of long integers). operator<<
takes the indentation from the stream width, as for basic_json.
The writer (detail/view/serializer.hpp) writes through a raw pointer into
a string sized from the source extent of the value, and walks the index
iteratively, so the nesting depth is limited by memory only.
Tests compare the output of 2,000 generated documents with
ordered_json::dump() for several indentations and ensure_ascii, strings
with every kind of escape, numbers (5,000 random doubles, float as
number_float_t), duplicate keys, 100,000 levels of nesting, and streams.
ViewDump joins the benchmarks.

get<T>() of arithmetic types is inlined down to the conversion, so that
its checks of the node kind merge with those of the caller, and reading
an integer needs no call. Traversing every value: citm_catalog -6%,

basic_json_view gains get<T>(), get_to(), value() with keys and JSON
pointers, and operator[], at(), and contains() with JSON pointers, plus
two functions basic_json has no counterpart for:
- get_string(): the string without a copy (a string_view into the source,
or into the decoded strings for strings with escapes)
- number_token(): the text of a number as it appears in the source
get<T>() converts arithmetic types, strings (also string_view_t),
std::nullptr_t, std::vector, maps with string keys, and views directly;
floats are converted from the digit layout recorded by the parser with the
library's conversion chain, so the values are bit-identical to parse().
Other types, including user types with from_json(), go through
materialize().
The exceptions are those of basic_json, message included. Where const
basic_json has undefined behavior (a missing key or an index out of range
with operator[] and a JSON pointer), the result is a discarded view;
value() returns the default wherever basic_json catches out_of_range, and
contains() never throws. Array indices of JSON pointers follow
json_pointer's rules (parse_error.106/109, out_of_range.404/410).
Tests compare the conversions of 2,000 generated documents, 20,000 float
tokens (double and float, bit for bit), and every JSON pointer of 1,000
documents with basic_json, and the exceptions for malformed pointers.

basic_json_view gains the read-only access functions of basic_json:
operator[] and at() with keys and indices, front(), back(), find(),
contains(), count(), begin()/end(), items() (with structured bindings from
C++17 on), and type_name(). They throw the exceptions (ids and messages)
that the const functions of basic_json throw; where basic_json has
undefined behavior (operator[] with a missing key or an index out of
range, front()/back() of an empty container), the view returns a
discarded view or throws invalid_iterator.214.
Objects are iterated in document order, and all members are visited. With
duplicate keys, lookups find the first member, so that a lookup can stop
at the first match; parse() keeps the last value. Keys of up to 16 bytes
are compared with two overlapping loads instead of memcmp, and most keys
are rejected by their length alone, from the index.
The iterators and items live in detail/view/iterator.hpp, the lookups in
detail/view/lookup.hpp. Tests compare every element and member of 2,000
generated documents with ordered_json, keys of every length around the
load sizes, the exceptions against const basic_json, and the iterators.

The public classes of the zero-copy view (#5295), in the new header
<nlohmann/json_view.hpp>:
- basic_json_document<BasicJsonType>: parse (borrowing contiguous byte
inputs, owning rvalue strings, streams, and other inputs), parse_copy,
accept, read, root, is_discarded, source, owns_source, node_count,
memory_usage, shrink_to_fit
- basic_json_view<BasicJsonType>: type and the is_* queries, size, empty,
materialize (the value parse() would produce, built by the same SAX
handler), source_offset
- the aliases json_document, json_view, ordered_json_document, and
ordered_json_view
A parse error throws the exception basic_json::parse would throw for the
same input: the library parser is run on the failing input, so messages,
positions, and exception ids are the same. Inputs of 4 GiB or more are
rejected with out_of_range.416.
The single header single_include/nlohmann/json_view.hpp keeps including
json.hpp; make amalgamate, check-amalgamation, include.zip, and release

With JSON_NOEXCEPTION, NLOHMANN_VIEW_THROW(e) was std::abort() alone, so
the parameters of the functions that build the exceptions were unused, a

The builder parses JSON text in one pass into the node index: strings and
numbers stay in the source (escaped strings are decoded into an arena),
integers are converted while their digits are in cache, and floats keep
their digit layout for a later conversion. It accepts exactly what
json::parse accepts, for every combination of comments and trailing commas,
with and without a terminating NUL, and with JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING.
Parse state lives in a local cursor whose address never escapes, so that it
stays in registers; out-of-line helpers (errors, regrowth, escapes,
comments) are members of the builder and get the positions they need. The
value dispatch is expanded once for array elements and once for member
values. Literals are compared with memcmp and words read in a fixed byte
order, so nothing depends on the platform's byte order. Error messages come
with the public classes.
Tests (unit-json_view_builder.cpp): accept/reject and values against
json::parse for handwritten, generated, and damaged documents under all
option combinations, from std::string and from exact-size buffers (no read
past the input under AddressSanitizer), deep nesting up to 100,000 levels,
NUL/BOM/whitespace cases, and the test-suite files.

- string_ref.hpp: std::string_view from C++17 on, else a small stand-in
- node.hpp: the 16-byte node of the index; its kinds are value_t values
(checked by a static_assert)
- document_data.hpp: the storage of a parsed document (node array, decode
arena, owned input)
- scan.hpp: string and digit scanning with unrolled checks at fixed offsets
(after yyjson) and the library's SWAR and UTF-8 checks, independent of the
