Furthermore, we checked with [Valgrind](https://valgrind.org) and the [Clang Sanitizers](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/index.html) that there are no memory leaks. [Google OSS-Fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/tree/master/projects/json) additionally runs fuzz tests against all parsers 24/7, effectively executing billions of tests so far.

 - When using `get<ENUM_TYPE>()`, undefined JSON values will default to the first pair specified in your map. Select this default pair carefully. If you desire an exception in this circumstance use `NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT()` which behaves identically except for throwing an exception on unrecognized values.

-2. Reads from an iterator range, or an iterator and a sentinel of a different type (C++20 ranges support).
-
-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
-`value_t::discarded`. The latter can be checked with [`is_discarded`](is_discarded.md).

-## Notes
-
-!!! note "Background"
-
-    A number is the only JSON value whose end can be detected solely by reading the character that follows it. By
-    default, that character is consumed and not put back, so the stream is left one byte too far after a number, and
-    only after a number:
-
-    ```cpp
-    std::istringstream input("1true");
-    json j;
-    input >> j;  // j == 1, but the stream now starts at "rue"
-    ```
-
-    With this macro, the character is only looked at and left in the stream, so the stream starts at `true`. This
-    does not require the stream buffer to support putting a character back.
-
-    This was not changed unconditionally, because code can depend on the consumed character, even unknowingly (see
-    [#5340](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/5340)). Both of the following work by default only because the
-    character after each number is swallowed, and behave differently with this macro:
-
-    ```cpp

-## Notes
-
-!!! note "Background"
-
-    JSON object keys are strings, so a map is only stored as an object if its keys can be converted to a string type.
-    Enums are not, even if [`NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM`](nlohmann_json_serialize_enum.md) maps them to strings, so a
-    map with enum keys becomes an array of `[key, value]` pairs:
-
-    ```json
-    [["stopped", "aa"], ["completed", "bb"]]
-    ```
-
-    With this macro, the same map becomes an object
-    (see [#4378](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/4378)):
-
-    ```json
-    {"completed": "bb", "stopped": "aa"}
-    ```
-
-!!! note "Maps with non-unique keys"
-
-    Maps that allow duplicate keys, such as `std::multimap<E, T>` or `std::unordered_multimap<E, T>`, are not affected
-    by the macro and are still stored as arrays of `[key, value]` pairs, as an object cannot hold duplicate keys.
-
-!!! note "Reading"
-
-    Reading is not affected by the macro: a map with enum keys can always be read from both an array of pairs and an
-    object. For the latter, each key is converted to the enum with its `from_json` function, e.g., the one defined by
-    [`NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM`](nlohmann_json_serialize_enum.md). Data written without the macro can therefore
-    still be read after enabling it.
-
-!!! warning "Keys must serialize to distinct strings"
-
-    Each key is converted with the enum's `to_json` function. If a key is not converted to a string (for instance, an
-    enum without [`NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM`](nlohmann_json_serialize_enum.md), which is stored as an integer, or an
-    enumerator mapped to `nullptr`), [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) is thrown.
-    If two keys are converted to the same string (for instance, because
-    [`NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM`](nlohmann_json_serialize_enum.md) maps an unlisted enumerator to the first entry),
-    [`type_error.318`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error318) is thrown. In both cases, the target value

-# Assurance case
-
-This page argues why the library meets its security requirements. It describes the threats the library faces, where the
-trust boundaries lie, and how the library's design and the [quality assurance](quality_assurance.md) counter these
-threats. To report a vulnerability, see the [security policy](security_policy.md).
-
-## Threat model
-
-The library parses, stores, and serializes JSON values in memory. It does not open network connections, does not open
-files (it only reads from streams or `std::FILE*` handles that the caller has already opened), does not read environment
-variables, and does not implement cryptography or handle credentials.
-
-The primary threat is therefore **untrusted input**: JSON text or binary data (BJData, BSON, CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON)
-that an attacker controls, passed to [`parse`](../api/basic_json/parse.md), [`accept`](../api/basic_json/accept.md),
-[`sax_parse`](../api/basic_json/sax_parse.md), or one of the `from_*` functions such as
-[`from_cbor`](../api/basic_json/from_cbor.md). Such input may try to
-
- make the library read or write out of bounds (malformed lengths, truncated input, invalid UTF-8),
- trigger undefined behavior (integer overflow in sizes or numbers, invalid casts),
- exhaust memory (huge announced sizes), or
- exhaust the call stack (deeply nested arrays and objects).
-
-## Trust boundaries
-
- **Untrusted:** all serialized input read by the parser, the SAX interface, and the binary readers. The library must
-  handle every possible input by either producing a value or throwing a [`parse_error`](../home/exceptions.md#parse-errors)
-  (or returning `false` when exceptions are disabled for the call).
- **Trusted:** the C++ code that calls the library. Calling a function with violated preconditions, for instance
-  accessing an array with [`operator[]`](../api/basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) out of range, is a programming error and
-  not a security boundary. Such preconditions are checked with [runtime assertions](../features/assertions.md) in debug
-  builds; functions such as [`at`](../api/basic_json/at.md) offer checked access with exceptions.
-
-## Secure design
-
- **Strict parsing.** The parser accepts exactly the JSON grammar of [RFC 8259](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259).
-  Extensions such as [comments](../features/comments.md) and [trailing commas](../features/trailing_commas.md) must be
-  enabled explicitly. Invalid UTF-8 is rejected.
- **Errors are reported, not ignored.** Malformed input results in a [`parse_error`](../home/exceptions.md#parse-errors)
-  with the byte position of the error. Binary readers do not trust announced sizes: strings and binary values grow
-  only as bytes are actually read, arrays reserve at most a fixed number of elements up front, and sizes that no
-  container can hold are rejected.
- **Memory is owned by values.** Each `basic_json` value owns its content, and there is no manual memory management in
-  user code. The destructor does not recurse, so destroying a deeply nested value does not exhaust the stack.
- **Bounded recursion.** The JSON parser and the binary readers keep their state in explicit stacks instead of
-  recursing per nesting level. Operations that walk a value, such as [`dump`](../api/basic_json/dump.md), copying,
-  comparison, hashing, and [`merge_patch`](../api/basic_json/merge_patch.md), recurse only up to a fixed depth and
-  continue with an explicit stack below it. Some operations, such as [`diff`](../api/basic_json/diff.md),
-  [`flatten`](../api/basic_json/flatten.md), and the binary writers, still recurse once per nesting level; work on them
-  is in progress. Applications that process untrusted input can limit its nesting depth with a
-  [parser callback](../features/parsing/parser_callbacks.md).
- **Invariants are checked.** The class invariant (for instance, that the pointer for the stored type is never null) is
-  checked with runtime assertions throughout the test suite.

-The CI workflows mostly use the token that GitHub creates for each workflow run. It is read-only by default, and each

-# Roadmap
-
-This page describes what the project intends to do, and what it does not intend to do, over the next year. Concrete
-work items are tracked in the [GitHub milestones](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/milestones) and the
-[issue tracker](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues).
-
-## What the project will do
-
- **Keep the C++11 baseline.** The library will continue to compile with every
-  [supported C++11 compiler](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/README.md#supported-compilers). Features of
-  later standards are only used when they are guarded by the `JSON_HAS_CPP_*` macros.
- **Stay conformant to JSON.** The parser and serializer follow [RFC 8259](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259).
-  Extensions such as [comments](../features/comments.md) or [trailing commas](../features/trailing_commas.md) remain
-  opt-in.
- **Keep the 3.x public API stable.** Releases follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org). Changes that would
-  break existing code are only added behind a feature macro, so users can opt in and test their code before a next
-  major release.
- **Support a broad range of compilers and platforms.** The [CI](quality_assurance.md) keeps testing old and new
-  versions of GCC, Clang, MSVC, and other compilers on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- **Keep the quality assurance up.** Every change keeps the test coverage at 100%, passes the static and dynamic
-  analysis, and is fuzz-tested by OSS-Fuzz, see [Quality assurance](quality_assurance.md).
- **Harden the library against hostile input.** Handling deeply nested values without exhausting the call stack is
-  ongoing work.
- **Fix bugs and security issues** reported through the issue tracker and the [security policy](security_policy.md).
-
-## What the project will not do
-
- **Break the public API of version 3.x.** See the
-  [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#break-the-public-api)
-  for what counts as a breaking change.
- **Require a newer C++ standard than C++11.**
- **Break JSON conformance** or enable non-standard extensions by default.
- **Add dependencies** or require a build step. The library remains header-only, and the single header
-  `json.hpp` remains a complete distribution.
- **Trade simplicity for speed or memory efficiency.** Performance improvements are welcome, but the library is not
-  meant to compete with the fastest JSON libraries, see [Design goals](../home/design_goals.md).
-
-## Version 4.0
-
-There is no decision yet on whether or when a version 4.0 with breaking changes will be released. Proposals that need
-a major version, for instance stricter type conversions, are collected in issue
-[#3453](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/3453). Until then, such changes are only added as opt-in behavior
-behind feature macros.

-# BON8
-
-BON8 (Binary Object Notation 8) is a compact binary serialization format for JSON values. It uses the byte values that
-cannot begin a UTF-8 character as type markers, so strings are stored as plain UTF-8 without a length prefix: a string
-ends at the first byte that cannot continue it. Integers from -10 to 39, `true`, `false`, `null`, and the floating-point
-values -1.0, 0.0, and 1.0 take a single byte, and arrays and objects with up to four elements need no terminator.

-
-    - Strings are not normalized to Unicode Normalization Form C (NFC).

+!!! info
+
+    This page is still under construction. Its goal is to provide a high-level overview of the library's architecture.
+    This should help new contributors to get an idea of the used concepts and where to make changes.

 ## Overview

-The library is built around a single class template, [`nlohmann::basic_json`](../api/basic_json/index.md). A
-`basic_json` value is a node in a tree of JSON values. All other components either create such a tree from an input
-(parsing), write a tree to an output (serialization), or give access to it (iterators, JSON Pointer, conversions).
+The main structure is class [nlohmann::basic_json](../api/basic_json/index.md).

+## Template specializations

- **JSON text** is read by an [input adapter](#input-adapters), tokenized by the lexer, and turned into SAX events by
-  the parser.
- **Binary formats** (BJData, BSON, CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON) are read by an input adapter and turned into the same SAX
-  events by the `binary_reader`.
- A [SAX consumer](#sax-interface) receives the events. The one used by [`parse`](../api/basic_json/parse.md) builds a
-  `basic_json` value tree.
- The `serializer` (JSON text) or the `binary_writer` (binary formats) writes a value tree to an
-  [output adapter](#output-adapters).

-The library provides two specializations:
-
- [`json`](../api/json.md) uses all default template arguments.
- [`ordered_json`](../api/ordered_json.md) uses [`ordered_map`](../api/ordered_map.md) as `ObjectType` to keep the
-  insertion order of object keys.
-
-The requirements on the template arguments are listed in
-[Template Parameter Requirements](../features/types/template_parameters.md).

 ## Value storage

-Each [`basic_json`](../api/basic_json/index.md) value stores its content as a tagged union: an enumeration [`value_t`](../api/basic_json/value_t.md)
-names the type of the value, and a union `json_value` holds the value itself. Both are members of the nested struct
-`data`, which is the only data member `m_data` of `basic_json`:
+Values are stored as a tagged union of [value_t](../api/basic_json/value_t.md) and json_value.

 ```cpp
-struct data
-{
-    /// the type of the current element
-    value_t m_type = value_t::null;
+/// the type of the current element
+value_t m_type = value_t::null;

-    /// the value of the current element
-    json_value m_value = {};

+json_value m_value = {};
 ```

-Objects, arrays, strings, and binary values are allocated on the heap with `AllocatorType`, and the union only stores a
-pointer to them. This keeps a `basic_json` value small: one pointer-sized union and one byte for the type. The class
-maintains the invariant that the pointer matching `m_type` is never null; `assert_invariant()` checks it with
-[runtime assertions](../features/assertions.md).
+## Parsing inputs (deserialization)

-## Input adapters
-

+Input is read via **input adapters** that abstract a source with a common interface:

+std::char_traits<char>::int_type get_character() noexcept;

-/// read a single character; returns std::char_traits<char_type>::eof() at the end of the input

-The lexer detects two optional extensions at compile time. Only `iterator_input_adapter` provides them, and only for
-random-access input of single-byte characters:
+List examples of input adapters.

- `supports_seek`, `get_consumed_count()`, and `copy_consumed_range()` let the lexer reconstruct already consumed input
-  for error messages instead of copying every character it reads.
- `supports_bulk_scan`, `bulk_data()`, `bulk_remaining()`, and `bulk_skip()` let the lexer scan strings directly in
-  contiguous memory, several bytes at a time.
+## SAX Interface

-The function `input_adapter` picks the right adapter for the argument passed to `parse`, `accept`, `sax_parse`, or the
-`from_*` functions:
+TODO

- `iterator_input_adapter` reads from an iterator range, which also covers strings, containers, and pointers.
- `wide_string_input_adapter` reads from ranges of `wchar_t`, `char16_t`, or `char32_t` and converts them to UTF-8.
-  It cannot be used for binary formats; its `get_elements()` throws.
- `input_stream_adapter` reads from a `std::istream`.
- `file_input_adapter` reads from a `std::FILE*`.
-
-## SAX interface
-
-The parser does not build values itself. It reports what it reads as events to a [SAX](../features/parsing/sax_interface.md)
-consumer, which implements the interface [`json_sax`](../api/json_sax/index.md): `null`, `boolean`, `number_integer`,
-`number_unsigned`, `number_float`, `string`, `binary`, `start_object`, `key`, `end_object`, `start_array`, `end_array`,
-and `parse_error`.
-
-The library comes with two consumers in `detail/input/json_sax.hpp`:
-
- `json_sax_dom_parser` builds a [`basic_json`](../api/basic_json/index.md) value tree. [`parse`](../api/basic_json/parse.md) uses it.
- `json_sax_dom_callback_parser` does the same, but calls a [parser callback](../features/parsing/parser_callbacks.md)
-  for each event, which can skip values. `parse` uses it when a callback is given.
-
-The `binary_reader` emits the same events for binary formats, so [`sax_parse`](../api/basic_json/sax_parse.md) works
-with a user-defined consumer for JSON and for all binary formats alike.
-
-## Output adapters
+## Writing outputs (serialization)

 Output is written via **output adapters**:

 ```cpp
+template<typename T>
 void write_character(CharType c);

+template<typename CharType>
 void write_characters(const CharType* s, std::size_t length);
 ```

-The `serializer` (used by [`dump`](../api/basic_json/dump.md) and [`operator<<`](../api/operator_ltlt.md)) and the
-`binary_writer` (used by the `to_*` functions) write to one of these adapters:
-
- `output_vector_adapter` appends to a `std::vector`.
- `output_stream_adapter` writes to a `std::ostream`.
- `output_string_adapter` appends to a string.
+List examples of output adapters.

 ## Value conversion

-Values are converted from and to other types with the `JSONSerializer` template parameter. The default,
-[`adl_serializer`](../api/adl_serializer/index.md), calls the free functions
-
 ```cpp
 template<class T>

 ## Additional features

- [JSON Pointer](../features/json_pointer.md) (class `json_pointer`) addresses values inside a tree. It is also the
-  basis of [JSON Patch](../features/json_patch.md).
- [Binary formats](../features/binary_formats/index.md) are read by `binary_reader` and written by `binary_writer`.
- A [custom base class](../api/basic_json/json_base_class_t.md) can add members to every [`basic_json`](../api/basic_json/index.md) value.
- [Serialization macros](../features/macros.md) generate `to_json` and `from_json` functions for user-defined types.

Niels Lohmann	6f971ae520	Build the update()/merge_patch() diagnostics test values instead of parsing them Parsed values carry byte positions under JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS, which the expected messages do not include. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>	2026-09-24 17:11:39 +02:00
Niels Lohmann	3395089b5f	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().

Niels Lohmann	519094151e	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(). Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>	2026-09-24 17:11:39 +02:00
Niels Lohmann	e9af5cbd11	Parenthesize multiplications in the hash test for clang-tidy Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>	2026-09-24 17:11:38 +02:00
Niels Lohmann	21c626c641	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.

Niels Lohmann	00bfe6808b	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>	2026-09-24 17:11:38 +02:00
Niels Lohmann	9be5018748	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>	2026-09-24 17:11:38 +02:00
