 ## Notes

-### Standards compliance
-
-The library targets strict conformance with [RFC 8259](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259.html). Both the original [JSONTestSuite](https://github.com/nst/JSONTestSuite) and its updated revision are exercised in CI; their test data is downloaded from [`nlohmann/json_test_data`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json_test_data) at configure time rather than committed to this repository (see [`tests/src/unit-testsuites.cpp`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/tests/src/unit-testsuites.cpp)):
-
- The updated revision runs all mandatory `y_` (must-accept) and `n_` (must-reject) cases through the strict [`parse()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/parse/) entry point; the original suite runs its `n_` cases through `parse()` and its `y_` cases through [`operator>>`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/operator_gtgt/).
- The `i_` (implementation-defined) cases are, by RFC 8259, free to be accepted *or* rejected, so "passing all `i_` cases" is not a meaningful conformance metric. The library makes deliberate, documented choices there: nesting depth is not artificially limited, a leading UTF-8 byte order mark is silently ignored, [Unicode noncharacters](https://www.unicode.org/faq/private_use.html#nonchar1) are forwarded unchanged, invalid UTF-8 and lone/unpaired UTF-16 surrogates are rejected (stricter than required), and a number that cannot be stored without becoming `NaN`/`INF` raises [`out_of_range.406`](https://json.nlohmann.me/home/exceptions/#jsonexceptionout_of_range406).
-
-One behavioral nuance is worth calling out, because a superficial test often misreads it as non-compliance: [`parse()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/parse/) is strict and rejects trailing data after a value, whereas [`operator>>`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/operator_gtgt/) follows relaxed iostream semantics — it parses a single value and leaves the stream positioned right after it. Feeding "a valid document followed by trailing bytes" through `operator>>` reports success; the same input through `parse()` is rejected. This is a documented two-API design, not a conformance gap. See [**parsing**](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/parsing/) for details.

-
-The exact mapping and its limitations are described on a [dedicated page](../../features/binary_formats/bon8.md).
-
-## Template parameters
-
-`InputType`
-:   A compatible input, for instance:
-
-    - an `std::istream` object
-    - a `FILE` pointer
-    - a C-style array of characters
-    - a pointer to a null-terminated string of single byte characters
-    - a container `obj` for which `begin(obj)` and `end(obj)` produce a valid pair of iterators
-      (as found via ADL or member functions, with semantics compatible to `std::begin` and `std::end`)
-
-`IteratorType`
-:   a compatible iterator type
-
-`SentinelType`
-:   defaults to `IteratorType`; may be a different type comparable to `IteratorType` via `operator!=`, for instance.
-
-    - a custom sentinel type for C++20 ranges
-    - `std::default_sentinel_t`, when `IteratorType` is `std::counted_iterator`
-
-## Parameters
-
-`i` (in)
-:   an input in BON8 format convertible to an input adapter
-
-`first` (in)
-:   iterator to the start of the input
-
-`last` (in)
-:   iterator to the end of the input, or a sentinel value that compares equal to the end iterator with `operator!=`
-
-`strict` (in)
-:   whether to expect the input to be consumed until EOF (`#!cpp true` by default)
-
-`allow_exceptions` (in)
-:   whether to throw exceptions in case of a parse error (optional, `#!cpp true` by default)
-
-## Return value
-
-deserialized JSON value; in case of a parse error and `allow_exceptions` set to `#!cpp false`, the return value will be
