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

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).

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 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.

an invalid digit shows in the OR of the four values. It then skips the
four bytes and updates the position counters as four get() calls would.

The strtold fallback, which is left only for long double formats that

locale's decimal point for '.'. Under a locale whose decimal point is
longer than one byte, such as fa_IR.UTF-8 or ar_EG.UTF-8 (U+066B),
strtold stopped there and the value was truncated at the decimal point.
A longer decimal point is now put into a copy of the token.

float, double, and long double where it is IEEE-754 binary64 (MSVC, Apple
arm64) are now converted by the library itself, correctly rounded and
independent of the locale and of the C and C++ libraries:
- The token is split into sign, significand w (at most 19 digits), and
decimal exponent q, using the positions of the decimal point and the
exponent that the scanners already recorded, so no character is
classified again.
- Clinger's fast path where w and 10^|q| are exact.
- Eisel-Lemire otherwise, now templated for binary32 and binary64.
- For tokens with more than 19 digits whose w and w + 1 round differently,
an exact big-integer comparison with the midpoint between the two
candidates (the digit comparison of fast_float, simplified).
This replaces the separate token walks of Clinger's fast path and of
Eisel-Lemire, the significant-digit gate that avoided the former, and, for
float and double, std::from_chars and the locale-aware strtod. std::from_chars
and strtold remain only for other long double formats (x87, binary128,
double-double) and for types that are not IEEE-754. Values are bit-identical
to before wherever the previous conversion was correctly rounded; tokens
converted in a locale with a multi-byte decimal point are now also exact.
Overflow still gives out_of_range.406, underflow a signed zero.
convert_float() is the entry point for other parsers of JSON text: it
converts like the lexer, without allocation for binary32/binary64.
Tests: exact-bit tests for double and float (ties, subnormal and overflow
boundaries, huge exponents, more digits than any midpoint), Eisel-Lemire for
binary32, the round trips of 200,000 doubles and 100,000 floats without
declines, 508 generated hard cases with the expected bits of both formats
(float_hard_cases.hpp) through the converter and both scanners, and
JSON-level overflow/underflow checks for double and float. The locale tests
now check the values in a locale with a multi-byte decimal point.

operator>> parsed directly into its basic_json& target, so a parse
error left the target holding whatever was parsed before the error
instead of its previous value. With JSON_DIAGNOSTICS=1, that partial
value also violated the class invariant, because the parent pointers
of an array or object's elements are only set when the container is
closed, which a failed parse never reaches; copying such a value then
aborted in assert_invariant().
Fix it the way basic_json::parse() already handles this: parse into a
temporary and move it into the target only once parsing succeeds, so
the target is left unchanged if an exception is thrown.

contains(const json_pointer&) and operator/=(std::size_t) (and hence
operator/(std::size_t)) used string_t operations that the StringType
template parameter documentation explicitly does not require:
comparing string_t with a const char* literal, c_str(), and
constructibility from std::string. This made both functions fail to
compile for a conforming custom StringType, even though the
documentation's own reference StringType satisfies the requirements.
Fix contains() to compare individual chars ('0'..'9') instead of
comparing string_t with const char* literals, and to call data()
(documented to be null-terminated) instead of c_str(). Fix

The header only uses public and standard macros, because the library's
internal macros are undefined at the end of json.hpp and the amalgamation
inlines macro_scope.hpp only once. For the same reason, the library no

When copying a value nested deeper than 128 levels, and an allocation
fails while an inner array or object is being copied, the partially
built copy ended up with an element typed array/object but holding a
null pointer. That element was already a fully constructed member of
its parent's container, so destroying the parent during stack
unwinding dereferenced the null pointer (release builds) or failed
assert_invariant() (debug builds), instead of letting std::bad_alloc
reach the caller.
copy_iteratively() set a pending worklist element's type right after
popping it, before the next loop iteration created its container in
copy_array_level()/copy_object_level(). Move that type assignment into
those two functions, right after the container is successfully
created, and drop the premature one in copy_iteratively(), so a
half-built element stays a null value - as copy_shallow()'s comment
already promised - until it can safely hold one.
Add a regression test to tests/src/unit-allocator.cpp that copies a
value nested 130 levels deep (both arrays and objects, with a
std::map- and an ordered_map-backed object_t) and fails every
allocation of the copy in turn: each attempt must throw std::bad_alloc
without crashing, and the source must stay unchanged.

For an object type whose comparator treats unequal keys as equivalent
(for example a std::map with a case-insensitive comparator),
compare_iteratively() looked up a mismatched left key in the right
object with find(), which uses the object's own comparator, and
accepted whatever entry it found without checking that the keys are
actually equal. A case-insensitive comparator then found "KEY" for
"key", so two objects nested past the recursion bound (or at every
depth with JSON_NO_THREAD_LOCAL) could compare equal even though the
object type's own operator== - and basic_json itself, below the bound
- consider them different.
Accept the found entry only if its key equals (not just compares
equivalent to) the looked-up key.

When a parser callback rejects an object's or array's start event,
json_sax_dom_callback_parser kept calling it for everything inside
that container anyway: nested keys, values, and the start/end events
of containers below it. This contradicts parser_callback_t's own
documentation, which promises that discarding a container at its
start event also hides its content from the callback.
The same code path also kept a full copy of every key inside such a
discarded container in key_stack until the whole parse finished,
because the early return for values that are not stored skipped the
matching pop. Filtering out a large subtree is the main reason to use
a callback, so this made peak memory during the parse scale with the
size of the very subtree the callback was trying to skip.
Fix start_object(), start_array(), and key() so that a container
whose own start event was discarded, or that is nested inside one, is
never handed to the callback, and no longer pushes onto the key
stacks. A container whose start event was accepted but whose key was
rejected still gets its content reported, as documented ("the
callback is still called for the associated value, but its return
value has no further effect"); only its own bookkeeping is skipped
since it will not be stored.

calc_bson_sizes() already walks every value before anything is written,

Parsing from a std::istream crashed in two unusual but valid stream
states, both in input_stream_adapter:
- With eofbit in the stream's exceptions() mask, get_character() sets
eofbit via is->clear(), which throws std::ios_base::failure. While
that exception unwinds, ~input_stream_adapter() called clear() again
to reset eofbit, which is still set and still in the exception mask,
so it throws a second time out of the (implicitly noexcept)
destructor and std::terminate() is called. The destructor now only
calls clear() if a bit other than eofbit remains set, so the first
exception can propagate normally.
- For an std::istream without a stream buffer (rdbuf() == nullptr,
e.g. std::istream(nullptr)), the constructor stored the null
pointer without checking it, and get_character() dereferenced it.
input_adapter(std::istream&) now throws parse_error.101 for such a

- 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.

* Take diff()'s fast path unless the object type reorders members
For every object type except an insertion-ordered one like ordered_map,
diff() no longer produced a member-by-member patch when target had a key
that sorts before a key the two objects share: it fell through to the
slow path, which removes every member of source and re-adds every member
of target, instead of just adding the new key.
#5465 added an order check to require the fast path to also reproduce
target's member order, needed because ordered_map's patch()-driven "add"
appends a new member at the end. The check compared the common keys'
order between source and target and also required that every added key
come after every common key in target's order ("new_keys_form_suffix").
The comment above it argued this check is always true for std::map, and
that reasoning is correct for the order of the common keys themselves,
but not for new_keys_form_suffix: a std::map iterates in sorted key
order, so a new key that sorts before an existing common key is
enumerated between common keys, making new_keys_form_suffix false even
though std::map's own key order does not need reordering at all - it
places every member itself, regardless of insertion history, so a
member-by-member diff already reproduces target's iteration order.
Only require the order check for an object type that keeps insertion
order, using the same detail::is_ordered_map trait the library already
uses to recognize such an object type in set_parent(). Every other
object type - std::map in key order, a hash map in an order its
operator== ignores - always takes the fast path.
Added a regression test to unit-json_patch.cpp: the issue's example now

* Move instead of deep-copy ordered_json values when an object grows
ordered_map keeps its elements in a std::vector<std::pair<const Key, T>>.
With a std::string key, that pair is not nothrow move constructible (the
const key has to be copied), so std::vector copies every element when it
reallocates. For ordered_json, this deep-copies every member value an
object already holds, including whole nested subtrees, on each growth
step.
Grow the storage in ordered_map instead, copying the keys and moving the
values. This happens in two phases, so the strong exception guarantee is
kept without try/catch. The first phase may throw, but only touches a
temporary buffer: it copies the keys, value-initializes the values, and
constructs the new element. The second phase moves the values (noexcept)
and swaps the buffers. Because the new element is constructed before any
value is moved, arguments that refer to elements of the container stay
valid, as with std::vector. Types that cannot take this path keep the
std::vector behavior.

coordinates of canada.json) went to strtod unless std::from_chars was
available. It is not used in C++11/14, and not with libc++, which does not
define __cpp_lib_to_chars. The Eisel-Lemire algorithm (after fast_float's
compute_float) now converts them with integer arithmetic, correctly rounded
for any token with at most 19 significant digits. Longer tokens are
truncated; the result is used if w and w + 1 round alike, else strtod
decides as before. Overflow still yields infinity (out_of_range.406).
The table of powers of five (fast_float's) lives in pow5_table.hpp; a unit
test recomputes every entry with big-integer arithmetic. Further tests:
known values generated with Python (whose float() is correctly rounded),
200,000 round trips through to_chars, and the 128-bit multiplication and
leading-zero count against big-integer references (both with and without a
128-bit type). Checked against strtod on 6.5 million tokens, among them
60,000 exact halfway cases: no difference.
json::parse on canada.json: -8.6% (C++11), -7.6% (C++17, Apple clang);
other files unchanged. Compile time of a TU including json.hpp: +0.7%.

* Fix CI: unused parse result and find() == npos in the Eisel-Lemire tests
GCC (-Werror=unused-result) rejected CHECK_THROWS_WITH_AS(json::parse(...))
because parse() is [[nodiscard]]; assign the result to a dummy json as the
other tests do. clang-tidy flagged longer.find('.') == npos with
abseil-string-find-str-contains; store the position in a variable first.

lexer::convert_number() converted float tokens with std::from_chars (when
available), Clinger's fast path, and the locale-aware strtod fallback, all
as lexer members. They are now free functions in number_parse.hpp:
- convert_float_fast(): std::from_chars, then Clinger's fast path, skipped
when the mantissa has too many significant digits
- convert_float_locale_aware(): strtof/strtod/strtold with the decimal point
of the current locale, retried when the locale changed (#5198)
so that other code converting JSON number tokens gets the same values. No
change in behavior; the lexer no longer includes <clocale> and <cstdlib>.

A header that builds on json.hpp (such as the planned json_view.hpp) must
not inline json.hpp: its single-header version would contain a second copy
of the library, and that copy would change with every library change.
The optional config key "external" lists include paths that are kept as
#include directives. Only the first directive per path is kept; repeated
ones are commented out, as the tool already does for inlined headers.
config_json_view.json uses it for json_view.hpp; the existing configs do
not set it, and json.hpp and json_fwd.hpp regenerate byte-identically.

#5597 was merged before all of its CI jobs had run, and two of them fail
on develop now, and so on every pull request:
- ci_clang_tidy: cert-err33-c for the two std::setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C")
calls whose result was discarded. Check the result, like the other
resets in the file.

* Look up the locale decimal point at conversion time, not lexer construction
The lexer read localeconv()->decimal_point once in its constructor and wrote
that character into token_buffer in place of '.'. The strtod fallback then
used the locale current at conversion time, so an LC_NUMERIC change in
between (parser callback, SAX handler, another thread) truncated the value
in release builds and fired the endptr assertion in debug builds.
token_buffer now always holds '.'. Only the strtof/strtod/strtold fallback
depends on the locale: it looks up the decimal point right before the call,
restores '.' afterwards, and repeats the conversion if the locale changed in
between. As a side effect, std::from_chars and Clinger's fast path now also
apply under locales whose decimal point is not '.'.
Fixes#5198

* Stop the strtod retry loop when the decimal point is unchanged
convert_float_locale_aware() repeated the conversion until strtod
consumed the whole token, assuming an early stop can only mean a locale
change. Under a locale whose decimal point is not a single character
(e.g. the two-byte U+066B of ar_EG.UTF-8, ar_SA.UTF-8, or fa_IR.UTF-8,
all available on macOS), the in-place substitution can never succeed,
so parsing any float that reaches the strtod fallback (for example
3.14159265358979323846 at C++11) hung forever. Before this branch, the
same input was truncated.
Retry only if the decimal point changed since the previous attempt;
otherwise keep the value strtod parsed so far, as before. Add a test
that parses such numbers under a multi-byte decimal point locale; it
hangs without this change.

The "Size above uint32" tests for arrays and objects fake a container

* 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.

Coverage reported conditions in the binary writer that can never be
false, and marked the code behind them with LCOV_EXCL. Remove them
instead of excluding them:
- CBOR writes the length of a string, binary value, array, or object
exactly like an unsigned integer, only with another major type. One
function, write_cbor_head(), now writes both, so the integer tests
cover every width and the four excluded 64-bit length branches are
gone.
- A last `else if` whose condition holds for every remaining value
(an unsigned value at most UINT64_MAX, a signed one in the range of
int64_t) is now a plain `else`.
- Whether a signed integer fits into an int64 for UBJSON and BJData is
decided by its type at compile time. Only an integer type wider than
64 bits gets a range check and the high-precision fallback.
- The private get_impl(boolean_t*) was never called.

* Write BSON in linear time, without recursing per nesting level
to_bson() had two problems with nested values:
- It recursed once per nesting level, so a value nested deeply enough -
100,000 levels on an 8 MiB stack - exhausted the call stack and
terminated the process, although parse() accepts such values without
complaint.
- BSON prefixes every document and array with its length. The writer
computed that length by walking the entire value below it, again for
every nested document it wrote, which made serializing O(size x depth).
A 200-level document took 30 ms instead of 1.
Both passes are now iterative, and each length is computed exactly once:
- calc_bson_sizes() computes the length of every document and array in
one pass, each from the lengths of its entries, into a table ordered
the way they are written.
- write_bson_document() then writes the document, taking each length from
the table.
Everything observable is unchanged, as a differential test against
develop confirms byte for byte:
- The same bytes are written.
- A key containing U+0000 still throws out_of_range.409 for the same
first key, with the same diagnostics path, before anything is written.
- A document too large for BSON still throws out_of_range.412 before
anything is written.
- A binary subtype above 255 still throws out_of_range.415 after the
same partial output.
Only the enclosing objects and arrays are kept on a stack, so a flat
document allocates nothing for it. Measured against develop (clang -O3,
median of 201 runs): flat objects unchanged, flat arrays 37% faster (the
array length was computed twice), a nested 3,000-object document 2x
faster, a 200-level document 33x faster.

the allocator has one. The test allocator inherited it from std::allocator,
so the scratch allocations were not counted and the test failed on Xcode.

* 🐛 reject ill-formed UTF-8 in CBOR/MessagePack/BSON text strings at decode time (#5531)
from_cbor()/from_msgpack()/from_bson() copied the raw bytes of a decoded
text string into the resulting json value without any UTF-8 validation,
even though RFC 8949 §3.1 (CBOR) and the MessagePack/BSON specifications
all require text strings to be valid UTF-8. Malformed input only failed
later, if the value was dump()'d, with a type_error.316 - so the
allow_exceptions=false pattern used specifically to get a discarded
sentinel instead of an exception did not discard this category of
malformed input, unlike every other kind of malformed binary input this
library rejects at decode time (see #5529).
Fix this at the single choke point shared by BSON/CBOR/MessagePack/UBJSON
string reads, binary_reader::get_string(): validate the bytes with the
UTF-8 DFA right after they are read, and report failures the same way as
every other binary_reader error (parse_error.113), so allow_exceptions
and strict discarding behave consistently. get_binary()/binary blob reads
are untouched and still accept arbitrary bytes, since only text strings
are required to be UTF-8.
There were two independent implementations of a UTF-8 validator: the
lexer's streaming scanner, and the serializer's Hoehrmann DFA used by
dump_escaped_impl(). Rather than write a third, the serializer's decode()
function, its utf8d table and the UTF8_ACCEPT/UTF8_REJECT constants are
extracted into detail/string_utils.hpp (a low-level header already
included before both detail/input/ and detail/output/), alongside a new
is_valid_utf8() helper built on the same decode() step. serializer.hpp's
dump_escaped_impl() now calls the shared decode(), so there is exactly
one UTF-8 validator in the codebase; dump()'s exact type_error.316
messages and byte-index reporting are unchanged (see the added
regression-guard test in unit-serialization.cpp).

* ⚡ validate only newly read bytes of binary-format strings
get_string() validated the whole result after each call, but get_bytes()
appends to it and CBOR indefinite-length strings collect all chunks in
the same result, so every chunk re-validated everything read before it.
An input of many small chunks took quadratic time (80000 one-byte chunks,
160 KB of input, took about 7 seconds). Only the newly read bytes are
validated now, which also matches RFC 8949's requirement that every
chunk is valid UTF-8 on its own.

* Support zero-member types in NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_* macros (#4041)
NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE(Type) and its 11 sibling macros produced
broken code for types with no members to serialize. Invoking a variadic
macro so __VA_ARGS__ is empty is only standard-conforming since C++20,
so a plain __VA_OPT__ fix (as tried in #5142) breaks every pre-C++20
build under -pedantic. Instead, make all 12 macros purely variadic and
dispatch on argument count using a sentinel-padded extension of the
existing NLOHMANN_JSON_GET_MACRO idiom, giving full C++11-C++26 support
with no feature-test gate.

* Fix CI failures in zero-member NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_* macros
Three issues surfaced on PR #5272's real CI that weren't caught by
local testing against a narrower flag set:
- GCC -Werror=noexcept: the four truly-empty from_json bodies (plain
INTRUSIVE/NON_INTRUSIVE, with and without _WITH_DEFAULT) provably
never throw but weren't declared noexcept; mark them noexcept
explicitly. to_json and the derived-type from_json overloads are
left alone since they genuinely can throw (object assignment /
delegating to the base class's from_json).
- clang-tidy bugprone-macro-parentheses: false positive on the same
8 zero-member bodies (Type/BaseType used purely as declarator
types); suppressed with NOLINTNEXTLINE comments in the same style
already used elsewhere in this file (see NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM).
- MSVC's traditional preprocessor doesn't fully expand
NLOHMANN_JSON_CAT(prefix, NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_TAG(...))(...) in one
pass, which broke a pre-existing one-member usage in
unit-regression2.cpp with syntax errors. Wrap all 12 public
dispatcher macros in an extra outer NLOHMANN_JSON_EXPAND(...),
matching the pattern NLOHMANN_JSON_PASTE already uses for the same
MSVC quirk.

* Fix derived-type macro dispatch capping members at 62 instead of 63
NLOHMANN_JSON_GET_MACRO resolves 64 positional arguments, with NAME at
position 65. NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_TAG dispatches on Type plus the member
list, so it resolves correctly up to the 63 members NLOHMANN_JSON_PASTE
supports. NLOHMANN_JSON_DERIVED_TYPE_TAG dispatched on the two-token
Type,BaseType prefix plus the member list, running out one slot early:
at 63 members, position 65 landed on the last member name instead of a
sentinel and NLOHMANN_JSON_CAT built an undefined identifier such as
NLOHMANN_JSON_DEFINE_DERIVED_TYPE_INTRUSIVE_m63, with the compiler
reporting "unknown type name 'm1'" once per member and nothing pointing
at an argument-count limit.
That silently reduced all six NLOHMANN_DEFINE_DERIVED_TYPE_* macros from
63 members to 62, contradicting the "up to 63 members" contract in
docs/mkdocs/docs/api/macros/nlohmann_define_derived_type.md.
Drop the leading Type and defer to NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_TAG so the tag is
computed from BaseType plus the member list, which fits the available
slots. The zero-own-member derived bodies are therefore selected by tag
1 rather than 2, and the sentinel table for the derived tag is no longer
needed.
Add a regression test at the documented maximum for both the plain and
the derived macros; it fails to compile against the previous dispatch.
Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>
* Name the zero-member macro bodies by intent, not argument count
The dispatch tag was the literal token 1 or N, pasted onto a macro prefix
to select the zero-member or member-carrying body. For the derived-type
macros that reads wrong: their tag is computed after dropping the leading
Type, so the zero-member body was named _1 while taking two parameters
(Type, BaseType).
Emit EMPTY and MEMBERS instead. The mechanism is unchanged -- the tag is
still a token pasted onto the prefix by NLOHMANN_JSON_CAT -- but the body
names now say what they are rather than encoding an argument count that
only lines up for half of the macros.
Collapse the four duplicated zero-member bodies while here: with no
members there is nothing to default, so each _WITH_DEFAULT_EMPTY body was
a byte-for-byte copy of its plain counterpart. They are now one-line
aliases, leaving a single definition of what an empty object serializes
to per intrusive/non-intrusive and base/derived combination.
No functional change: for both zero-member and member-carrying types the
preprocessed to_json/from_json output is token-for-token identical, and
the arity limits are unchanged (63 members, base and derived).

* Document zero-member support in the macro API reference

State that the list may be empty on each page, and add a note showing
what the zero-member case generates: an empty JSON object for the plain
macros, and base-type-only serialization for the derived ones. Both notes
record that the WITH_NAMES variants do not support this.

* Keep user macros named EMPTY or MEMBERS out of the member-count dispatch
The dispatch produced the bare token EMPTY or MEMBERS and pasted it onto
the macro prefix afterwards. In between, the token was rescanned, so a
user macro with either name replaced it: with `#define MEMBERS x` in
scope, even NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE(A, member) -- which compiled
before -- expanded to garbage, and `#define EMPTY` broke the zero-member
form.
Paste the suffix onto the prefix directly in the GET_MACRO slot table
instead. Operands of ## are not macro-expanded, so the selected body name
is formed before any user macro can interfere. NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_TAG and
NLOHMANN_JSON_DERIVED_TYPE_TAG become NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_BODY and
NLOHMANN_JSON_DERIVED_TYPE_BODY, taking the prefix as their first
argument; NLOHMANN_JSON_CAT is no longer needed. The body macro names are
unchanged, and so is the generated code.
Add a regression test that defines EMPTY and MEMBERS around plain and
derived types, with and without members.

The benchmark project hasn't configured since #4793: download_test_data.cmake
compiles cmake/detect_libcpp_version.cpp relative to CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR, which
is tests/benchmarks when that is the top-level project, so try_run fails and
so does `make run_benchmarks`. The path is now relative to the module itself,
which is the same file for the main build.
The Dump benchmark discarded dump()'s result, which is [[nodiscard]] by now;
it warned, and left the optimizer free to shorten the loop. The result is
now kept with benchmark::DoNotOptimize.
A new cache variable, JSON_BENCHMARK_INCLUDE_DIR, names the directory holding

* Compare values without recursing, and without comparing them twice
Comparing two values compared their containers, which compare their elements,
which brought the comparison back once per nesting level. Two values nested
deeply enough exhausted the call stack and terminated the process with a
segmentation fault - the same bug as #5387, in the last operation that still
had it.
Worse, an ordered comparison took exponentially long in the nesting depth
before C++20. std::vector's operator< is a lexicographical comparison, which
asks whether an element is less than its counterpart and then whether the
counterpart is less than it - two full comparisons of everything below that
element, at every level. Comparing two equal values nested 30 levels deep,
which is nothing unusual, took 3.8 seconds; 40 levels would have taken an
hour, and nothing about the value has to be pathological to get there. C++20
is unaffected: std::lexicographical_compare_three_way asks once.
Compare a value that is nested too deeply to descend into on an explicit
stack instead, in a single pass that yields less, equal, greater or unordered
at once. Equality and the three-way comparison descend as they always did for
the first 128 levels, which nothing measurable costs them; an ordered
comparison no longer descends at all, which is what takes the exponent out of
it. Objects and arrays that are not nested deeply are otherwise compared
exactly as before.
The results are unchanged for every pair of values: 68121 comparisons of a
corpus that covers NaN, discarded values, mixed number types, binary values,
empty containers and both object types are identical to develop, in C++11,
C++17 and C++20, with and without thread_local storage and legacy discarded
comparison. Reproducing that meant reproducing two subtleties: a lexicographic
comparison steps over a pair it cannot order, where a three-way comparison
stops at it, and an object compares its keys with < where its entries are
ordered but with == where they are only checked for equality - not with the
object's own comparator, which for nlohmann::ordered_map tells equality.
Equality needs no ordering, so it no longer asks for any: a key or string type
that can only be compared for equality still works.
Measured (medians of 7 interleaved runs, clang -O3, C++11): comparing two
equal values nested 30 levels deep 3778 ms -> 0.002 ms; ordering flat objects
-33.6%; ordering flat arrays of numbers +27.3%, the one shape that pays for
the single pass; equality unchanged throughout.

* Describe comparison in the no-thread-local docs and CI target

copying alone.

benchmark documents, comparing two equal values takes 10% to 90% longer.

* Take the descent flag as an argument rather than testing it
MSVC reports the test of a constant as C4127 ("conditional expression is

is an ordinary parameter, and leaves the call sites with no condition of
their own.

* Use the shared descent bookkeeping rather than a second set
Comparing kept a thread_local count, a limit and a guard of its own beside
the ones copying already had, all three the same thing under a different
name. They are gone; the shared count, limit and guard do the work.
The guard grows a second constructor here, because the comparison
operators are written as a macro and a macro cannot use the preprocessor:
it cannot look the count up behind an #ifdef the way copy_structured does,
so the guard looks it up for it. nesting_depth_exhausted() arrives for the
same reason - whether an operator descends at all is a constant at every
call site, and testing it there is what MSVC reports as C4127.
Also say in compare_leaves what happens to a pair that is an array on one
side and an object on the other, since the answer is not obvious from the
code: an operator only descends into two values of the same type, so such
a pair is told apart by its types alone - unequal, and ordered the way the
types are - exactly as it is above the bound.
And record what the explicit stack costs: the comparison operators are
noexcept and the container comparison this replaces allocated nothing, so
running out of memory here ends the process instead of throwing. It takes
a value nested past the bound and an exhausted heap to reach, and the same
comparison used to exhaust the call stack, but it is a new way to fail.

* fix: restore the character that terminates a number (#5340)
operator>> is documented to leave the stream positioned right after the
parsed value, so that concatenated JSON values can be read back to back.
That did not hold for numbers: a number is only terminated by the
character following it, and lexer::scan_number() reads that character
and calls unget() -- which is simulated and rewinds only the lexer's own
bookkeeping. input_stream_adapter consumes via sbumpc() with no matching
sungetc(), so the terminating character stayed consumed and the next
extraction started one byte too late ('1true' left the stream at 'rue').
Propagating unget() to the adapter directly does not work: next_unget
makes the following get() replay the cached character, so the terminator
would be delivered twice. Instead, restore the still-pending character
once at the end of a non-strict parse, where the input is handed back to
the caller:
- input_stream_adapter gains unget_character() (sungetc()) and advertises
it via supports_unget, detected the same way as supports_seek.
- lexer::restore_pending_unget() turns a pending simulated unget of a
real (non-EOF) character into a real one and clears next_unget so the
character is not also replayed. It is a no-op for adapters that cannot
unget, and reports failure when sungetc() fails, in which case the
input is left as it was before.
- parser calls it on the three non-strict paths, i.e. for operator>> and
sax_parse(strict = false).
Strict parse()/accept() are unaffected: they require the input to end
after the value, so the character is consumed by the end-of-input check
anyway. Parse error messages and reported positions are unchanged.

- MSVC (bad allocation): `no_putback_streambuf::underflow()` set a
one-character get area without advancing `m_pos`, so an implementation
whose `istream::get` peeks before it bumps re-read the same character
forever. Keep no get area at all: `underflow()` peeks, `uflow()`

* Put the stream position fix behind JSON_PRECISE_STREAM_POSITION
Leaving the character that terminates a number in the stream is observable:
reading "1,2,3" with repeated operator>> works today only because the comma
after each number is swallowed, and std::getline after a number skips the
line break. Both break with the fix, so make it opt-in for 3.x, as suggested
by @gregmarr in the review.
- JSON_PRECISE_STREAM_POSITION (default 0) selects the peek-based
input_stream_adapter. Without it, the adapter is the consuming one from
develop and has no supports_lookahead, so lexer::release_lookahead() and
the parser's calls to it compile to nothing.
- The macro changes input_stream_adapter's layout and member functions, so
it gets the ABI tag _psp, after _bics. The ABI config tests, the natvis
generator, and nlohmann_json.natvis (regenerated) know the tag.
- The tests for the fix move to unit-precise-stream-position.cpp, which
defines the macro itself and runs in every build, and gain the two cases
above. unit-deserialization.cpp pins the default behavior instead.
- The docs describe the default behavior again and point to the new macro
page; version history says "added in 3.13.0, planned default in 4.0.0".

* Keep JSON_DIAGNOSTICS parent pointers of ordered_json members after erase() and update()
ordered_json stores its members in a vector, and two operations moved
members without restoring their parent pointers afterwards:
- ordered_map::erase() re-constructs every member after the erased one in
place. The basic_json move constructor leaves m_parent at nullptr, and
none of the object branches of basic_json::erase() (by key, iterator, or
iterator range) called set_parents(). This also affected merge_patch()
with a null member and patch() with a remove operation.
- update() only set the parent pointer of the inserted member. Adding a key
can reallocate the vector, which copies all other members and leaves
their m_parent at nullptr. The set_parents() call added for #4813 only
repaired this for the nested object of a merge, not for the target.
The next assert_invariant() on such an object (for instance, when copying
it) aborted, and diagnostic messages lost the path prefix above the moved
member. std::map-based json was not affected, because its nodes do not
move.
Erasing from an ordered_map object now calls set_parents(), and update()
uses set_parent(), which already refreshes all members for vector-based
objects. This makes the #4813 workaround redundant.

test cases that run the drivers' checks on a fixed, deterministic corpus
(tests/src/round_trip_corpus.hpp): integer and float boundaries,
non-finite numbers, strings, binary values, optimized containers, deep
nesting, the JData annotated-array matrix, and seeded random containers.
They also check two properties the drivers do not: the first round trip
preserves the value, and re-serializing reproduces the exact bytes. For
BJData both exclude values containing a binary value, which is read back
as an array of integers unless it was written as a Draft 3 optimized
binary array; this carve-out is now documented in bjdata.md. Run against
the headers before #5542, the BJData test fails, including on the shape
from OSS-Fuzz 563659413.
Also document how OSS-Fuzz reports are handled (reference them as
"OSS-Fuzz: <id>", turn the reproducer into a unit test, keep drivers and
unit tests in sync) in tests/fuzzing.md, and link it from the PR
template and the quality assurance page.

* Add the OSS-Fuzz reproducers for 474400817 and 474480402 as unit tests
Following the convention added to tests/fuzzing.md, the reproducers of
the two BJData fuzzer asserts tracked since January are now unit tests:
- 474400817 (assert(false)): an empty object _ArraySize_ was written as
the ND-array header length, which from_bjdata() could not read back.
Fixed by #5455.
- 474480402 (to_bjdata(j2, false, false) == vec2): a one-byte Draft 3
binary array is written in Draft 2 mode as a uint8 array and then
re-serialized with the int8 marker. This is the documented exception to
byte stability, not a library bug; OSS-Fuzz closed it after #5494
relaxed the harness to value stability. The test pins the exact bytes
so the exception stays deliberate.
The 563659413 reproducer is already a unit test (#5542). A comment also
ties the existing UBJSON excessive-count test to the timeout OSS-Fuzz
reported for that shape (testcase 6347769435193344).

* Merge deeply nested objects without recursing per nesting level
merge_patch() and update(j, true) merged a nested object by calling
themselves on it, once per nesting level. A value nested deeply enough -
50,000 levels of objects on an 8 MiB stack - exhausted the call stack
and terminated the process, although parse() accepts such values without
complaint.
Bound the descent the same way dump() does. The recursion now carries
the nesting level, and once merge_depth_limit() (128) levels have been
entered, update_members_iteratively() and merge_patch_iteratively()
finish the merge on an explicit stack. They still merge a nested object
completely before the next member, and in the same order, so the results,
including the parents JSON_DIAGNOSTICS reports paths from, are unchanged.
Values nested less deeply than the bound run the same code as before, so
the common case does not pay for the stack: merging only on it cost
10-14% in a first version.
The public signatures are unchanged. The recursive worker behind
merge_patch() has its own name rather than being a private overload, so
that &basic_json::merge_patch stays unambiguous.
Tests check every depth up to 300 against recursive reference
implementations of both operations, check the diagnostic paths past the
bound, and merge objects nested 100,000 levels deep.
Fixes#5545 for update(j, true), and #5393 for merge_patch().

* Use the shared recursion limit in update() and merge_patch()
merge_depth_limit() is gone in favor of detail::recursion_depth_limit().
The two identical function-local frame structs become one member struct,
merge_frame, with a constructor, so both loops emplace_back() their
frames. merge_patch_iteratively() copies the frame it works on out of the
stack and changes it only through stack.back().

* Hash deeply nested values without recursing per nesting level
std::hash<basic_json> hashed an array or object by hashing each element,
which called detail::hash again once per nesting level. A value nested
deeply enough - 50,000 levels of objects on an 8 MiB stack - exhausted
the call stack and terminated the process. parse() accepts such values
without complaint, since the parser is iterative, and a parsed value is
hashed wherever it is used as a key in an unordered container.
Bound the descent the same way dump() does: detail::hash takes the
nesting level, and once hash_depth_limit() (128) levels have been entered,
hash_iteratively() hashes what is left on an explicit stack. It combines
the seeds in exactly the same order, so hash values are unchanged. A value
nested less deeply than the bound is hashed by the same code as before,
without allocating, and is as fast as before.
Tests check that every depth up to twice the bound hashes exactly like
the recursive definition of the hash, and that values nested 100,000
levels deep hash without crashing.
Fixes#5545 for std::hash.
Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>
* Declare hash_frame's constructor noexcept
GCC's -Wnoexcept (an error in CI) flags the emplace_back() into the
hash stack under C++26: the constructor cannot throw, since cbegin() is
noexcept, but it did not say so. dump_frame's constructor is noexcept
for the same reason.
Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>
* Share one recursion depth limit, and copy the hash frame out of the stack
dump() and hash() each defined their own limit on how many nesting levels
they recurse into, and the operations still to come would have added more,
free to diverge over time. They now all use detail::recursion_depth_limit(),
in a header of its own; serializer::dump_depth_limit() and
hash_depth_limit() are gone.
hash_iteratively() now copies the frame it works on out of the stack and
changes the frame only through stack.back(), so nothing can refer into
the stack after entering an element has grown it.

Though JSON is a ubiquitous data format, it is not a very compact format suitable for data exchange, for instance over a network. Hence, the library supports [BSON](https://bsonspec.org) (Binary JSON), [CBOR](https://cbor.io) (Concise Binary Object Representation), [MessagePack](https://msgpack.org), [UBJSON](https://ubjson.org) (Universal Binary JSON Specification) and [BJData](https://neurojson.org/bjdata) (Binary JData) to efficiently encode JSON values to byte vectors and to decode such vectors.

The library also supports binary types from BSON, CBOR (byte strings), and MessagePack (bin, ext, fixext). They are stored by default as `std::vector<std::uint8_t>` to be processed outside the library.

Header `<nlohmann/json_view.hpp>` adds `json_document`/`json_view`, a read-only, non-owning way to look at a parsed
JSON text: parsing builds a flat index (16 bytes per value) instead of a tree, strings and numbers stay in the source
text, and `materialize()` builds a `json` value for a subtree only when you actually need one. See
[Zero-copy JSON views](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/json_view/) for the details, including which inputs are
borrowed and which are copied.

Returns `#!cpp 1` if the value is an object with a member with key `key`, `#!cpp 0` otherwise.
## Parameters
`key` (in)
: key value of the element to count
## Return value
`#!cpp 1` if the value is an object and has a member with key `key`, `#!cpp 0` otherwise.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Linear in the number of members: as for [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), members are compared one after
another, in document order, stopping at the first match. Each comparison first checks the key's length -- already
known from the index, without reading the key bytes -- before comparing its content.
## Notes
This method always returns `#!cpp 0` when the value is not an object -- including a [discarded](is_discarded.md)
view.
Unlike [`BasicJsonType::count()`](../basic_json/count.md), whose return value can in principle exceed `#!cpp 1` for
an `ObjectType` that allows multiple entries per key, `count()` here never does: it is exactly
[`contains()`](contains.md) as `#!cpp 0`/`#!cpp 1`. This holds even if the source text has a duplicate key -- see the
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of `operator[]` -- because a `#!cpp count() > 1` result would require
counting every member with a matching key, not just finding the first one.
## Examples
??? example
The example below validates that every transaction of a batch carries a mandatory `amount` field, using
`count()` before deciding whether to materialize a transaction at all.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__count.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__count.output"
```
