* 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

A lead byte (0xC2..0xF7) inside a string begins either another character
(if a continuation byte follows) or an integer (otherwise). When the input
ended right after the lead byte, the reader took the missing byte as "not
a continuation byte", ended the string before the lead byte, and treated
the lead byte as the start of the next value. With strict=false, a message
cut off there was therefore read as a shorter value: the 11 bytes of
"😀😀é" cut after 9 bytes gave "😀😀", and ["aé"] cut after 3 of its 5
bytes gave ["a"]. With strict=true, the input was rejected with a
misleading message ("expected end of input"), or, for a key, with
parse_error.112 instead of 110.
Either reading of the lead byte leaves the message incomplete: a string at
the end of a message must be terminated by 0xFF, so the lead byte cannot
belong to a following message. Report parse_error.110 (unexpected end of
input) for strings and keys, as the comment on get_bon8_string() already
requires and as the reference decoder (HikoGUI) does.

ci_clang_analyze configured the build with the real compiler and only
then wrapped ninja with scan-build. scan-build intercepts compiles by
overriding CC/CXX, but build.ninja already had the compiler path baked

logs show "No bugs found" after a normal build, never an analysis.
The job also used Debian's frozen clang-tools-14 rather than the
image's own clang, and CLANG_ANALYZER_CHECKS still named three
valist.* checkers that current clang merged into security.VAList.
ci_clang_tidy already runs every clang-analyzer-* check (via
.clang-tidy's "Checks: '*'") with warnings as errors, so nothing is
lost by removing the dead job. Delete ci_clang_analyze,
CLANG_ANALYZER_CHECKS and the SCAN_BUILD_TOOL lookup from

* Re-enable portability-template-virtual-member-function; remove redundant forwards
.clang-tidy disabled three checks "to get the CI going" (#4489,
2024-11-13): portability-template-virtual-member-function,
bugprone-use-after-move and its alias hicpp-invalid-access-moved.
portability-template-virtual-member-function only flagged
output_stream_adapter::write_character/write_characters; annotate
both with NOLINT and re-enable the check.
bugprone-use-after-move flagged several double forwards that have no
effect at runtime:
- from_json.hpp calls std::forward<BasicJsonType>(j).at(Idx) inside
pack expansions; at() has no ref-qualified overloads and always
returns an lvalue reference, so the forward is a no-op. Replace with
plain j.at(Idx) in all four places.
- the move constructor forwards the whole object to its base class
and then reads other's members. That is item 9 of #5724 (together
with its cppcheck suppressions) and is left to that change.
- input_adapters.hpp forwards the container twice on purpose, so the
begin/end iterator types match adapter_type; annotate with NOLINT
and a comment instead of changing behavior.
The check still flags the move constructor (see above) and two sites
in at(KeyType&&) (both overloads, json.hpp, in the throw's
string_t(std::forward<KeyType>(key)) after
find(std::forward<KeyType>(key))). Open PR #5689 rewrites that hunk,
so bugprone-use-after-move (and hicpp-invalid-access-moved)
stay disabled for now, with a comment explaining why; re-enable them
once #5689 and the #5724 move-constructor change have landed.
Also resolve the portability-avoid-pragma-once TODO: single_include
never has #pragma once (amalgamate.py strips it) and every supported
compiler accepts it in include/, so keep it disabled with an
explanatory comment instead of a TODO. Fix the stale "json.hpp,
around line 1265" comment in unit-class_parser.cpp, which now points
at the move constructor's actual line.
Behavior, the public API and the ABI do not change. Verified with
clang-tidy 22.1.8 that portability-template-virtual-member-function
now reports nothing, that bugprone-use-after-move/
hicpp-invalid-access-moved report only the known at(KeyType&&) and
move-constructor sites, and that unit-custom-base-class, unit-constructor1,
unit-conversions, unit-element_access2, unit-class_parser and
unit-diagnostic-positions (JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS=1) compile

json_sax.hpp named "-warnings-as-errors" in the NOLINT list on the two

diagnostic tag under WarningsAsErrors, not a check name, and every
other JSON_ASSERT(false) omits it.
unit-capacity.cpp carried 30 "// NOLINT(misc-const-correctness)"
comments on "json j = ...;" declarations that are all used with
non-const members afterwards, so the check has nothing to report
there.
unit-constructor2.cpp used a blanket "// NOLINT: access after move is
OK here" on a use-after-move that hides every check on the line;

redefinition errors of #5103, but #5103 is about hard errors (e.g.
"redefinition of std::__is_constant_evaluated()", conflicting
std::integral_constant) that ignoring a warning cannot suppress; they
are traced to GCC PR 124430 and reproduce with <map> or <string>
instead of json.hpp too. A GCC 16.2 -std=gnu++20 -fmodules build
following #5103's repro steps still fails with the pragma in place,
and a build of all test TUs with GCC_CXXFLAGS (which enable
-Wignored-attributes) and the pragma removed produces no such
warning. The block only hid a warning class from GCC C++20 users

* Fix stale doxygen comments hidden by the -Wdocumentation pragma
macro_scope.hpp ignores -Wdocumentation and -Wdocumentation-unknown-command

void and unescapes its argument in place; reworded to
"@param[in,out] s string to unescape in place" and dropped the
bogus @return.
- basic_json::get()'s copy-conversion overload wrote "converted to
@tparam ValueType" inside @return, which Doxygen and Clang parse as
a second, malformed @tparam; changed to "@a ValueType", matching the
two other get() overloads a few lines above that already use it.
This narrows the gap the -Wdocumentation pragma needs to cover; fully

CAPTURE(x) shim, which already ends in a semicolon.

follow that convention. The remaining 64 call sites across 20 files
wrote "CAPTURE(x);" anyway, turning into a statement plus an empty

semicolon at each of those sites.

this the last known source of -Wextra-semi-stmt findings, removed the

* Switch ci_static_analysis_clang off the frozen LLVM 22 dev image
ubuntu.yml pinned the clang-tidy/clang-tidy-sanitizer/single-binaries
job to silkeh/clang:dev, a tag last pushed 2026-02-18 that reports
"clang version 22.0.0 (...+20251015...)", a pre-release snapshot from
before the LLVM 22 release; the maintainer now updates dev-unstable,
22, and latest instead. Switched to silkeh/clang:22, matching the
other clang jobs on :latest.
Verified with clang-tidy 22.1.8 (the image's actual version) against
this repository's .clang-tidy and library headers what the release
image newly reports compared to :dev:
- readability-redundant-typename fires at ~250 sites across the
_cpp20-relevant conversion/to_chars headers; the library targets
C++11 and keeps the typenames, so the check is disabled in
.clang-tidy, matching how the file already handles checks that
don't fit a C++11 codebase.
- misc-anonymous-namespace-in-header fires on the two anonymous
namespaces in from_json.hpp and to_json.hpp; added the alias to
their existing NOLINT (cert-dcl59-cpp, fuchsia-header-anon-namespaces,
google-build-namespaces).
- bugprone-std-namespace-modification fires on every addition to
namespace std: the std::hash, std::formatter and std::swap
overloads in json.hpp, and the std::tuple_size/std::tuple_element
specializations in iteration_proxy.hpp (this last file is not named
in #5725's item 5, found by actually running clang-tidy 22.1.8
against the current tree). All six are legal, deliberate additions
to namespace std (explicit/partial specializations of std types, or
the pre-C++20 std::swap overload); annotated each with the check
name next to its existing cert-dcl58-cpp NOLINT.
- modernize-avoid-c-style-cast reported nothing new.
Also added clang++-22/21, clang-tidy-22/21, g++-16 and gcov-16 to the
find_program search lists in ci.cmake so a local "maximal warnings"
configure prefers the current toolchain version over an older one on

* Regenerate cmake/gcc_flags.cmake for GCC 16.2.0
GCC_CXXFLAGS was generated for GCC 15.1.0, but ci_test_gcc and
ci_test_gcc_cxx{11..26} now run in gcc:latest, currently GCC 16.2.0,
so the "maximal warnings" job was missing warnings introduced since
15.1.0 while carrying entries GCC 16 treats as duplicates or no-ops.
Regenerated with https://github.com/nlohmann/gcc_flags (patched
locally to not crash on an option whose "-x c++ <opt> -" probe fails
before it reads stdin, e.g. -Wabi=; the tool otherwise raises
BrokenPipeError instead of recording the option as an error) run
against g++ 16.2.0 in the official gcc:16 Docker image, keeping the
documented -Wno-* exclusions and the same alphabetical placement
scheme as before.
Also added three GCC 16 warnings the generator cannot discover on its
own because it only probes value ranges/lists it finds in the -Q
option name itself, not in the enum choices --help=warnings documents
separately:
- -Wbidi-chars=any, -Wleading-whitespace=spaces: manually verified
these compile cleanly with g++ 16.2.0.
- -Wstrict-flex-arrays: deliberately NOT added, unlike the other two.
Without -fstrict-flex-arrays (which the library does not enable, as
it would change codegen for flexible array members), GCC prints
"'-Wstrict-flex-arrays' is ignored when '-fstrict-flex-arrays' is
not present" on every translation unit, and under our -Werror that
note itself aborts the build. This differs from the harmless
no-op warnings already kept in the file (-Whsa, -Wsynth,
-Wunreachable-code, -Wunsafe-loop-optimizations), which emit
nothing; #5725 item 7 named -Wstrict-flex-arrays as one of the
flags GCC 16 adds, but did not anticipate this failure mode.
Verified: compiled the library header and a representative set of
test translation units (including ones touched by items 1, 3, 8, 9,
10 of this issue) with the regenerated GCC_CXXFLAGS plus -Werror
under g++ 16.2.0 at -std=c++11 through -std=c++26, with zero warnings;
ran the full local test suite (129/129 passing, unrelated to this
compiler) as a regression check. CI must still confirm the actual
ci_test_gcc / ci_test_standards_gcc targets end to end, since this was
verified with direct g++ invocations rather than through the CMake/
CXXFLAGS environment-variable plumbing in ci.cmake.

* Avoid std::basic_string<CharType> for non-character output_adapter CharType
output_adapter<CharType, StringType> defaulted StringType to
std::basic_string<CharType>, and (with JSON_NO_IO undefined) always
declared a std::basic_ostream<CharType>&-taking constructor. For
CharType with no non-deprecated std::char_traits specialization (only
std::uint8_t is ever used this way, by the binary writers), simply
naming either type - as an unused default template argument, or as an
unused, never-called constructor's parameter type - instantiates
std::char_traits<CharType> merely to name it, which some standard
libraries mark deprecated: with the library-wide -Wdocumentation
pragma (item 2's other half, left for a later commit) temporarily
removed, an Apple clang 21 / libc++ TU calling json::to_cbor(j, vec)
with std::vector<std::uint8_t>& got one -Wdeprecated-declarations
warning per binary writer at the old output_adapters.hpp:193.
Replaced the eager std::basic_string<CharType> / std::basic_ostream
<CharType> defaults with a bool-tagged partial specialization (not

that only ever names std::basic_string<CharType> / std::basic_ostream
<CharType> when CharType is actually one of char, wchar_t, char16_t,
char32_t, or (with __cpp_lib_char8_t) char8_t. For any other
CharType, output_adapter's StringType and ostream-constructor
parameter fall back to two distinct empty placeholder types, kept
distinct so the two constructor overloads do not collide into a
single redeclaration.
Public API / behavior: passing a std::basic_string<std::uint8_t>& or
std::basic_ostream<std::uint8_t>& directly to a binary writer's
output_adapter now fails to compile instead of compiling with a
deprecation warning; this was neither documented nor tested. All
documented uses (std::vector<CharType>, std::basic_ostream<CharType>
and StringType for character CharType) are unaffected.
Verified with Apple clang 21 / libc++, with the two -Wdocumentation*
"ignored" pragma lines in macro_scope.hpp temporarily removed and
-std=c++11/c++20 plus the project's -Weverything flag set: calling
to_cbor/to_msgpack/to_ubjson/to_bjdata/to_bson/to_bon8 on a
std::vector<std::uint8_t> now produces no char_traits<unsigned char>
(or any other) deprecation warning, while the char-based string- and
ostream-adapter paths, and a to_cbor/from_cbor round trip, still
compile and run correctly; also verified with GCC 16.2.0. Ran the

* Remove the library-wide -Wdocumentation pragma; fix what it hid
macro_scope.hpp / macro_unscope.hpp pushed and popped a Clang
diagnostic region over the entire library that ignored -Wdocumentation
and -Wdocumentation-unknown-command. Removed both pragmas and fixed
every finding a full -Wdocumentation (which implies
-Wdocumentation-unknown-command and -Wdocumentation-deprecated-sync)
build reports, so the library now compiles clean under Clang's
documentation checks without a blanket suppression. Overlaps #5267,
which is still open and edits a nearby doc block (json.hpp's
get()/get_impl() @return, already fixed in the item 2 step (b) commit
of this branch); this commit does not touch that block again.
Unknown Doxygen alias commands (Doxyfile removed in #3071, so these
were never rendered by anything) rewritten as plain prose, keeping the
same information:
- @requirement REQ-JSON-01 / REQ-JSON-02 (iter_impl.hpp,
json_reverse_iterator.hpp): now "This class satisfies the following
concept requirements (REQ-JSON-0N):".
- @liveexample{prose,example-id} (three sites in json.hpp): kept the
prose, dropped the command wrapper and the trailing example-id
(docs/mkdocs/docs/examples/*.cpp still exist and are used directly
by the rendered docs, not through this in-header alias) and
unescaped the "\," commas that were only needed for the old alias's
comma-separated argument syntax.
- @complexity X (json.hpp x4, json_pointer.hpp x2, serializer.hpp x1):
now "Complexity: X".
Backslash sequences Clang's comment lexer tried to parse as commands,
escaped to render as literal backslashes:
- lexer.hpp get_codepoint(): two `\u` occurrences.
- binary_reader.hpp get_bson_cstr() / get_bson_cstr_bulk(): two
`\x00` occurrences.
- serializer.hpp: three `\uXXXX` occurrences (constructor @param,
append_codepoint_to_string_buffer() @brief, and the ensure_ascii
member comment).
One finding remained after all of the above: Clang reports
"declaration is marked with '@deprecated' command but does not have a
deprecation attribute" on the deprecated sax_parse(span_input_adapter&&, ...)
overload, even though JSON_HEDLEY_DEPRECATED_FOR does expand to
__attribute__((deprecated(...))) for Clang. Several isolated
reproductions of this exact declaration shape - doc comment,
template<>, two stacked __attribute__ macros, an overload set sharing
the name - did not reproduce the warning, so this looks like a
Clang comment/declaration-association quirk specific to this overload
inside the much larger basic_json class template, not an actual
documentation defect. Rather than keep the pragma library-wide for one
Clang false positive, added a tightly scoped
-Wdocumentation-deprecated-sync push/pop around just that overload.
Verified with Apple clang 21 and the project's actual -Weverything
flag set (cmake/clang_flags.cmake) on the full header at -std=c++11
and -std=c++20: zero -Wdocumentation* diagnostics. Also compiled
clean with GCC 16.2.0 (the pragmas are already __clang__-gated, so
this only confirms no unrelated breakage). Ran make check-amalgamation
and the full local test suite: 129/129 passing.

* Take the JSON value by const reference in the array and tuple from_json paths
Review feedback on #5737 (gregmarr): once the no-op std::forward calls
are gone, the forwarding references have no purpose. from_json_fn
passes the value as const BasicJsonType&, so these functions were only
ever instantiated with a const lvalue anyway.
The std::array, std::pair and std::tuple overloads of from_json and
their helpers now take const BasicJsonType& and pass j on unchanged.
Because the deduced BasicJsonType is now the plain type, tuple_type and
the static_assert name const BasicJsonType& explicitly, so the
reference checks are unchanged: get<std::tuple<const std::string&>>()
still works, and get<std::tuple<std::string&>>() still fails the same
static_assert. from_json_tuple_get_impl keeps its forwarding reference,
since tuple_type calls it through std::declval.
Behavior, the public API and the ABI do not change. unit-conversions,

valid_utf8_prefix() (bulk string scan, BON8 bulk path and BON8 writer)
and the BON8 byte path in get_bon8_string() check the RFC 3629 ranges

Replace the sentence with a list of the four validators, what each is

* Deduplicate the strict-EOF/release_lookahead/error block in parser::parse()
json_sax_dom_callback_parser and json_sax_dom_parser branches of
parser::parse() ran the same ~25 lines after sax_parse_internal():
the strict-mode EOF check (raising parse_error.101 through the SAX
parser), release_lookahead() in non-strict mode, and mapping an
errored SAX parser to a discarded result. The two copies had already
drifted apart in formatting and in the second copy's "see above"
comment.
Add a private parse_dom(DomSax&, strict) member that runs this shared
sequence once and returns whether the SAX parser did not error; both
branches of parse() now only construct their DOM SAX parser, call
parse_dom(), and (for the callback parser) map a discarded top-level
value to null. sax_parse() is left untouched, since it only runs the
EOF check and release_lookahead() when sax_parse_internal() succeeded,
unlike parse(), which runs them unconditionally.

* Share the code point to UTF-8 encoding between the wide-string helpers and the lexer
The 1/2/3/4-byte UTF-8 encoding ladder was written out by hand three
times: in wide_string_input_helper<..., 4>::fill_buffer() for a UTF-32
code point, in the UTF-16 helper for both a BMP code unit and a valid
surrogate pair, and in the lexer's \uXXXX/\uXXXX\uYYYY handling. The
copies had drifted: the UTF-32 helper masked the leading bits of each
byte (& 0x1Fu, & 0x0Fu, & 0x07u) where the others relied on the shift
alone, even though both give the same result for a code point that is
already known to be in range.
Add detail::encode_utf8(cp, out) in string_utils.hpp, a single encoder
that invokes a callable once per output byte, most significant byte
first. Use it in the three valid-code-point branches (UTF-32 code
points up to U+10FFFF, UTF-16 code units outside the surrogate range,
and valid UTF-16 surrogate pairs) and in the lexer's \u handling, where
out forwards to add(). The UTF-16 helper's deliberate pass-through of
malformed surrogate units and the UTF-32 helper's 0xFF sentinel for
code points above U+10FFFF are untouched, since neither reaches the new
helper.
Behavior-preserving: same bytes in the same order for every valid code
point, verified with unit-class_lexer, unit-class_parser,
unit-deserialization, unit-wstring and the non-test-data parts of

static callee at those call sites is the unattributed virtual base.
A nonnull attribute on a definition lets GCC and Clang assume the

virtual, so this was latent undefined behavior, not just style.
Drop the attribute from the three overrides and document the

locale_chars member on every dump(), even though the only reader is
dump_float(number_float_t, std::false_type)'s snprintf path, taken
only for a number_float_t that is neither IEEE single nor double.
localeconv() is not required to be thread-safe with setlocale(), so
every dump() paid for and raced on a lookup that almost never mattered.
Remove locale_chars and the locale member. Right before the
thousands-separator/decimal-point fixups in the snprintf path, read
std::localeconv() into local thousands_sep/decimal_point variables
(null-checked, first byte only, as before) - the same way
lexer::get_decimal_point() already does since #5597. Output is
unchanged unless the locale changes during a single dump(); in that
case the fixups now match what snprintf just produced, instead of a
value snapshotted before the call.
Overlaps draft PR #5608, which touches the same constructor and
dump_float() lines to move this code into a new
dump_float_snprintf(); this lands the lookup change now as #5709 asks,
and #5608 can do the lookup inside dump_float_snprintf() when it
rebases.
Verification: the full json_test_data corpus (742 files, dump(),
dump(4) and dump(-1,' ',true)) is byte-identical to before the change
under the C locale. Added a test pinning the new per-conversion
lookup: it switches LC_NUMERIC mid-dump() (via a streambuf that
switches on its first write, after the serializer's write buffer has
been flushed once but before a later float is converted) and checks
the decimal point is still normalized using the locale active at
conversion time. On a platform where long double is IEEE-754 double
(e.g. 64-bit Arm), dump_float() takes the locale-independent
to_chars() path and the test is a no-op there; it is meaningful on a
platform where long double is extended precision (most x86 targets).

* Diff deeply nested values without recursing per nesting level
diff() descended into both values once per nesting level, and compared
them with operator== on every level on the way, which recurses as well.
Values nested deeply enough - 25,000 levels on an 8 MiB stack - exhausted
the call stack and terminated the process, although parse() accepts
them without complaint. On such a chain the per-level comparisons and
path strings also made diff() quadratic in time and memory.
Both the recursion and operator== only descend as far as the source is
nested. So diff() first checks, recursing at most diff_depth_limit()
(128) levels, whether the source is nested more deeply than that. If not
- all but a vanishing minority of values - the recursive algorithm
diffs it exactly as before, now as diff_recursively(). Otherwise
diff_iteratively() walks the two values on an explicit stack, emitting
the same operations in the same order. It does not compare arrays and
objects with operator== up front (equal ones yield no operations
anyway), keeps the path in one buffer instead of a new string per
level, and hands every subtree that is not nested too deeply back to
diff_recursively(), so equal parts are still skipped quickly.
The check costs one pass over the source. On a 3,000-object document
that is about 30% of diffing two equal values (which is just an
operator== call), about 10% of diffing values that differ in a few
places, and noise when arrays change length. Once operator== no longer
recurses (#5390), the check can go.
Tests check that the patch reproduces the target at every depth up to
300, for json and ordered_json, including reordered members. They also
check the exact operation for a difference deep inside, and diff values
nested 100,000 levels deep.

one that differs from the implicit one, as it does for flatten_task in

The converting constructor cannot throw, and is now declared noexcept
for GCC's -Wnoexcept, which flags the emplace_back() under C++26

* Keep diff()'s recursive levels small and its result elided
diff_recursively built every patch operation in place from initializer
lists. Unoptimized builds give each of those temporaries its own stack
slot, so every level of the bounded descent cost kilobytes of stack
(about 6 KB with clang -O0), and the 128 recursive levels overflowed the
1 MB stack of MSVC Debug in the "deeply nested values" test. The
operations and the key comparison of two objects are now built by
separate functions, which diff_iteratively shares, and both diff
functions append to one result instead of returning a patch per level
that the caller copies. With clang -O0, diffing values nested 300 levels
deep now peaks at about 190 KB of stack instead of 880 KB.
Since diff() now owns the only returned value, clang's -Wnrvo no longer
reports the returns of diff_recursively, which alternated between the
local patch and diff_iteratively's result.
