Niels Lohmann ab0aafbadf Fix CI: bind j_nested_const by reference in the json_pointer test
clang-tidy (ci_clang_tidy) flagged the new test with
performance-unnecessary-copy-initialization: the local copy
j_nested_const of j_nested is never modified. Bind it as a const
reference instead; it still exercises the const overloads of at() and
contains().

Niels Lohmann c1945cb8d5 Do not throw in contains() for an empty array reference token
json_pointer::contains() rejected malformed array indices, but an empty
reference token (e.g. "/a/" where "a" is an array, or "/" on an array)
passed every check and reached array_index(), which throws
out_of_range.404. contains() must not throw (cf. #5395), so it now
returns false for an empty token. at() still throws out_of_range.404.

# On demand only: runs the comparison of json_view with yyjson, simdjson, and
# Boost.JSON (tests/benchmarks/json_view/compare.py) on GitHub-hosted runners,
# for numbers from x86-64 and AArch64 Linux. It runs when started by hand, or
# when a pull request gets the label "benchmark" (on both architectures, with
# GCC and the default settings). Shared runners are noisy: the results show
# where json_view stands, but published numbers need a quiet machine (see
# tests/benchmarks/json_view/README.md).

### Zero-copy views
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.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>accept
```cpp
template<typename InputType>
static bool accept(InputType&& input,
const bool ignore_comments = false,
const bool ignore_trailing_commas = false);
```
Checks whether the input is valid JSON, accepting and rejecting exactly what
[`BasicJsonType::accept()`](../basic_json/accept.md) does, with the same options. Unlike [`parse()`](parse.md), this
function never throws an exception for invalid input, and the returned `#!cpp bool` is the only result -- no document
is returned.
## Template parameters
`InputType`
: A compatible input; see [`parse`](parse.md#template-parameters).
## Parameters
`input` (in)
: Input to check.
`ignore_comments` (in)
: whether comments should be ignored and treated like whitespace (`#!cpp true`) or yield a parse error
(`#!cpp false`); (optional, `#!cpp false` by default)
`ignore_trailing_commas` (in)
: whether trailing commas in arrays or objects should be ignored and treated like whitespace (`#!cpp true`) or
yield a parse error (`#!cpp false`); (optional, `#!cpp false` by default)
## Return value
Whether the input is valid JSON.
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: this function itself never throws for an invalid input; it can only throw what allocating the
input's own copy (for inputs that are always read into a buffer) throws.
## Complexity
Linear in the length of the input.
## Examples
??? example
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__accept.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__accept.output"
```

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>basic_json_document
```cpp
// (1)
basic_json_document() = default;
// (2)
basic_json_document(basic_json_document&& other) noexcept = default;
// (3)
basic_json_document(const basic_json_document&) = delete;
```
1. Creates an empty (discarded) document: [`root()`](root.md) returns a discarded view, and
[`is_discarded()`](is_discarded.md) is `#!cpp true`.
2. Move constructor. Takes over `other`'s index and, if owned, its text; `other` is left as an empty document. Views
taken from `other` before the move remain valid, because the index is heap-allocated independently of the
`basic_json_document` object.
3. `basic_json_document` is move-only. Copying is disabled because it would either duplicate a potentially large index
and text, or leave two documents claiming to borrow the same buffer.
## Parameters
`other` (in)
: another document to move the index and text from
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: the default and move constructors never throw exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant, for the default and move constructors.
## Examples
??? example
The example below shows the default constructor and demonstrates that `basic_json_document` is move-only.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__basic_json_document.cpp"

Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
has `erase`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).
1. Removes every member of `object` whose key is `key` (see [Notes](#notes) on duplicate keys) and returns how many
were removed; `#!cpp 0` if `object` has no member with this key.
2. Removes the element at index `idx` of `array`, which must already exist (`#!cpp idx < array.size()`).
3. Removes the value the JSON pointer `ptr` refers to, relative to [`root()`](root.md), and returns how many values
were removed: the *parent* of the target must already exist, and the target itself is removed as in 1. (an object
member; `#!cpp 0` or more) or 2. (an array element; always `#!cpp 1`). `ptr` must not be empty -- [`root()`](root.md)
itself cannot be erased.
## Template parameters
`I`
: an integral type other than `#!cpp bool`, deduced (overloads taking a `#!cpp bool` or a non-integral type for
`idx` do not participate in overload resolution).
## Parameters
`object` (in)
: the object to remove a member of
`array` (in)
: the array to remove an element of
`key` (in)
: the key of the member(s) to remove
`idx` (in)
: the index of the element to remove; a negative value throws (see [Exceptions](#exceptions))
`ptr` (in)
: a JSON pointer to the value to remove, relative to `root()`
## Return value
1. the number of removed members (`#!cpp 0` if `object` had none with this `key`)
2. (nothing)
3. the number of removed values (`#!cpp 0` or more for an object member, always `#!cpp 1` for an array element)
## Exceptions
1. Throws [`type_error.307`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error307) if `object` is not an object -- the
same message [`BasicJsonType::erase`](../basic_json/erase.md) throws for the same type.
2. Throws `type_error.307` if `array` is not an array. Throws
[`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `idx` is negative, or if
`#!cpp idx >= array.size()`.
3. Throws [`out_of_range.405`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range405) ("JSON pointer has no parent")
if `ptr` is empty. Throws what [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md) throws (overload 3) for resolving `ptr`'s parent.
For the last reference token itself: if the parent is an array, throws what 2. throws for an index that is out of
range, or, for a token that is not a valid array index,
[`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) (a leading `#!cpp '0'`),
[`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) (not a number),
[`out_of_range.410`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range410) (too large for `size_type`), or
[`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) (an empty token); otherwise (an
object, or a primitive value the pointer's parent resolves to) throws what 1. throws.
Every overload also throws [`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) ("view
does not belong to this document") if `object`/`array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a
view of a *different* document (overloads 1-2 only; overload 3 always starts from this document's own
[`root()`](root.md)).
## Complexity
1. Linear in the number of members of `object`.
2. Linear in the number of elements of `array` at or after `idx` (they move one slot over).
3. Linear in the number of reference tokens of `ptr` and, for each token, in the number of members of the object at
that level or the index into the array (as [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md)), plus the complexity of 1. or 2. for
the last token.
## Notes
!!! info "Duplicate keys"
Overload 1. removes *every* member with `key`, not just the first -- unlike [`set`](set.md), which assigns the
first occurrence and drops the rest. This is why it returns a count rather than a single view: there may be
more than one member removed, or none.
Like [`set`](set.md) and [`push_back`](push_back.md), `erase` never moves an element's *value*: a view still
referring to a removed member or element keeps showing what it last held (see [Edits](index.md#edits)) -- it just no
longer appears when `array`/`object` is read, dumped, or iterated. Removing an element of `array` (2.) does shift the
*links* to the elements after it, the same way `insert`, `set`, or `push_back` on the same array would; any iterator
already taken over `array`/`object` is invalidated by an erase, since it was walking the old layout.
## Examples
??? example
The example below drops a deprecated field and a decommissioned entry from a configuration document -- using all
three overloads -- and shows what stays intact that would not with a plain `json`/`ordered_json` value: the order
of the fields around the ones removed, and the exact spelling of a number that was never touched.

# <small>nlohmann::</small>basic_json_document
<small>Defined in header `<nlohmann/json_view.hpp>`</small>
```cpp
template<typename BasicJsonType, bool Editable = false>
class basic_json_document;
```
A parsed JSON text, held as a flat index of its values
([16 bytes per value](../../home/architecture.md#node-index-of-json-views)) instead of a tree of `BasicJsonType` values.
Strings and numbers stay in the source text; only strings that contain escapes are decoded, into one buffer owned by
the document. [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) is a read-only handle to one value of a
`basic_json_document`; [`materialize()`](../basic_json_view/materialize.md) turns a subtree back into the
`BasicJsonType` value that [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) would have produced for it.
A document may **borrow** the text it was parsed from (the caller's buffer must then outlive the document) or **own**
it (a copy, or an rvalue `#!cpp std::string` that was moved in); see [`owns_source`](owns_source.md). `basic_json_document`
is move-only: copying a document would either duplicate a potentially large index and text, or leave two documents
claiming to borrow the same buffer, so it is disabled.
With `#!cpp Editable == true`, the document also offers [`set`](set.md), [`push_back`](push_back.md),
[`insert`](insert.md), and [`erase`](erase.md) to change values in place, see [Edits](#edits) below. The source text
itself is never written; a read-only document (`#!cpp Editable == false`, the default) does not carry any of the
bookkeeping edits need, and calling any of them on one fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).
## Template parameters
`BasicJsonType`
: a specialization of [`basic_json`](../basic_json/index.md), for instance [`json`](../json.md) or
[`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md). Only 64-bit `number_integer_t`/`number_unsigned_t` types are supported; this
is checked with a `static_assert`.
`Editable`
: whether the document supports [`set`](set.md), [`push_back`](push_back.md), [`insert`](insert.md), and
[`erase`](erase.md) (optional, `#!cpp false` by default). See [Edits](#edits) below.
## Specializations
- [**json_document**](../json_document.md) - read-only documents of the default specialization [`json`](../json.md)
- [**ordered_json_document**](../ordered_json_document.md) - read-only documents of
[`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md)
- [**json_editable_document**](../json_editable_document.md) - editable documents of [`json`](../json.md)
- [**ordered_json_editable_document**](../ordered_json_editable_document.md) - editable documents of
[`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md)
## Member types
- **view_type** - the type of view returned by [`root()`](root.md) (`#!cpp basic_json_view<BasicJsonType, Editable>`)
- **value_t** - the JSON type enumeration, see [`basic_json::value_t`](../basic_json/value_t.md)
## Member functions

- [**set**](set.md) - replace a value, or set an object member, an array element, or the value a JSON pointer refers
to (`#!cpp Editable` documents only)
- [**push_back**](push_back.md) - append to an array (`#!cpp Editable` documents only)
- [**insert**](insert.md) - insert an element into an array before a given position (`#!cpp Editable` documents only)
- [**erase**](erase.md) - remove an object member, an array element, or the value a JSON pointer refers to
(`#!cpp Editable` documents only)
## Edits
An editable document (`#!cpp Editable == true`) can be changed after parsing, with [`set`](set.md),
[`push_back`](push_back.md), [`insert`](insert.md), and [`erase`](erase.md);
[`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md) and
[`ordered_json_editable_document`](../ordered_json_editable_document.md) are the corresponding specializations. A few
points apply to every edit:
- **The source text is never written**, and the parsed index never moves: every value keeps the node it was parsed
into, so [views](../basic_json_view/index.md) taken before an edit stay valid, including
[`root()`](root.md). New values (and the element sequences of an edited array/object) go to storage owned by the
document, allocated on demand.
- **A view keeps referring to the same value.** After [`set`](set.md) replaces the value a view refers to, that view
sees the new value; a view of a value that a later edit replaces or drops keeps showing what it last held. An edit
of an array or object, however, **invalidates the iterators taken over it** (its members may now live in a
different sequence), and a string obtained with [`get_string()`](../basic_json_view/get_string.md) stays valid even
as further edits happen (earlier buffers of edited text are kept alive, not overwritten).
- **Values are accepted three ways:** a [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) of *any* document
(read-only or editable; it is copied, nothing is shared with the source document), a `BasicJsonType` value, or
anything `BasicJsonType` can be constructed from (numbers, strings, `#!cpp bool`, `#!cpp nullptr`, containers, ...).
- [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) writes an edited document with members in document order, new members at
the end, and, with [`number_format::source`](../basic_json_view/number_format.md), keeps the spelling of every
number that was not itself edited -- see [Editing a document](../../features/json_view.md#editing-a-document) for
why this matters.
- [`read()`](read.md) discards all edits, [`shrink_to_fit()`](shrink_to_fit.md) does not move the node index once
there are edits, and [`memory_usage()`](memory_usage.md) includes the memory edits use.
[`source_offset()`](../basic_json_view/source_offset.md) of a value introduced by an edit is
`#!cpp static_cast<std::size_t>(-1)`, the same value it reports for a decoded string.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>insert
```cpp
template<typename I, typename V>
view_type insert(view_type array, I idx, V&& value);
```
Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
has `insert`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).
Inserts `value` into `array` as a new element before position `idx`, which must not be past the end
(`#!cpp idx <= array.size()`; `#!cpp idx == array.size()` appends, like [`push_back`](push_back.md)). Unlike
[`push_back`](push_back.md), a [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) `array` does *not* first become an empty array:
`array` must already be an array.
`value` is accepted three ways: a [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) of *any* document -- read-only or
editable, and it does not have to be `array`'s own document -- which is copied so that nothing is shared with the
source document afterward; a `BasicJsonType` value; or anything `BasicJsonType` can be constructed from (numbers,
strings, `#!cpp bool`, `#!cpp nullptr`, containers, ...).
## Template parameters
`I`
: an integral type other than `#!cpp bool`, deduced (overloads taking a `#!cpp bool` or a non-integral type for
`idx` do not participate in overload resolution).
`V`
: the type of `value`, deduced; see above for what is accepted.
## Parameters
`array` (in)
: the array to insert into
`idx` (in)
: the position to insert `value` before; a negative value throws (see [Exceptions](#exceptions))
`value` (in)
: the value to insert
## Return value
a view of the new element, now holding `value`
## Exception safety
Basic exception safety: `value` is fully encoded -- including the checks below -- into storage owned by the document
before anything already reachable from [`root()`](root.md) is touched, so a failure while encoding `value` (an
invalid argument, or `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`) leaves the document completely unchanged, other than memory allocated
for the encoding that is not reclaimed. A failure of a later allocation -- while `array` switches from its parsed
layout to a growable block, or while that block grows, see [Notes](#notes) -- can still leave `array` already
switched to that layout even though `value` itself was not inserted.
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.309`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error309) if `array` is not an array -- the same
message [`BasicJsonType::insert`](../basic_json/insert.md) throws for the same type; a null `array` throws this too
(see above). Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `idx` is negative,
or if `#!cpp idx > array.size()`. Throws
[`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) ("view does not belong to this
document") if `array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a view of a *different* document.
Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if `value` is a
[discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a [discarded](../basic_json/is_discarded.md) `BasicJsonType`
value, and [`type_error.319`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error319) if `value` is (or contains) a
binary value -- `BasicJsonType` can hold one, but a `json_document` cannot. Throws
[`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316) if `value` is (or contains) a string that is
not valid UTF-8, with the same message [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) gives for that string.
## Complexity
Linear in the number of elements of `array` at or after `idx` (they move one slot over), plus time linear in the
size of `value` to encode it into the document's storage (constant for a scalar, linear in the number of nested
values for an array or object): like [`push_back`](push_back.md), the elements of `array` move to a growable block
of links the first time it is inserted into (or [`set`](set.md)/[`push_back`](push_back.md) on), and that block
grows in amortized constant time; inserting before the end within that block still shifts every later element.
## Notes
Like [`set`](set.md) on a member or an element, `insert` never moves an existing *element's value* -- only where
`array`'s *links* to its elements live -- so a view of an existing element of `array` stays valid across an
`insert`, and keeps referring to the same element even though its index shifts. Any iterator already taken over
`array` is invalidated, since it was walking the old layout. See [Edits](index.md#edits) for what stays valid across
an edit in general.
## Examples
??? example
The example below inserts a step into the middle of a deployment plan, without touching the steps that come
after it, and shows that a view taken before the insert keeps referring to the same element even though its
index shifts -- something a plain `json`/`ordered_json` array, or its `std::vector`-based storage, has no
equivalent for.

static basic_json_document parse(IteratorType first, IteratorType last,

```
1. Deserialize from a compatible input, borrowing or owning it depending on its value category and type (see Notes).
2. Deserialize from a pair of input iterators.
Both overloads accept exactly what [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) accepts, with the same
`ignore_comments`/`ignore_trailing_commas` options, but build a [`basic_json_document`](index.md) (a flat index into
the input) instead of a tree of `BasicJsonType` values.
## Template parameters
`InputType`
: A compatible input, for instance:
- a `#!cpp std::string`, `#!cpp std::string_view`, or a C-style array of characters
- a pointer to a null-terminated string of single byte characters
- a container for which `#!cpp obj.data()` and `#!cpp obj.size()` give contiguous single-byte access, e.g.
`#!cpp std::vector<char>` or `#!cpp std::vector<std::uint8_t>`
- an `#!cpp std::istream` object, or anything else [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) accepts
`IteratorType`
: a compatible iterator type, for instance a pair of pointers such as `ptr` and `ptr + len`, or a pair of
`#!cpp std::string::iterator`
## Parameters
`input` (in)
: Input to parse from.
`allow_exceptions` (in)
: whether to throw exceptions in case of a parse error (optional, `#!cpp true` by default)
`ignore_comments` (in)
: whether comments should be ignored and treated like whitespace (`#!cpp true`) or yield a parse error
(`#!cpp false`); (optional, `#!cpp false` by default)
`ignore_trailing_commas` (in)
: whether trailing commas in arrays or objects should be ignored and treated like whitespace (`#!cpp true`) or
yield a parse error (`#!cpp false`); (optional, `#!cpp false` by default)
`first` (in)
: iterator to the start of a character range
`last` (in)
: iterator to the end of a character range
## Return value
The parsed document. If `allow_exceptions` is `#!cpp false` and the input is not valid JSON, the returned document is
discarded; see [`is_discarded`](is_discarded.md).
## Exceptions
Throws the same exception [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) throws for the same input and options --
the same exception id, message, and position -- because on a failing input the library's own parser is run on the
same bytes to produce the diagnostic. Additionally throws
[`out_of_range.416`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range416) if the input is 4 GiB or larger, a size
[`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) does not reject.
## Complexity
Linear in the length of the input.
## Notes
**Ownership.** Whether the document borrows `input` or owns a copy of it depends on its value category and type:
| `input` | ownership |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| lvalue byte container (`std::string`, `std::vector<char>`, ...), `std::string_view`, C string, character array | **borrowed** -- `input` must outlive the document |
| rvalue `#!cpp std::string` | **owned**, moved in without a copy |
| rvalue byte container other than `#!cpp std::string` | **owned**, copied |
| stream, wide string, or anything else read through the general input adapter | **owned**, read into a buffer (a stream is read to its end) |
For overload (2), a pair of pointers to single-byte integers (e.g. `#!cpp const char*`, `#!cpp std::uint8_t*`) is
borrowed. From C++20 on, so is any other contiguous iterator over single bytes, such as
`#!cpp std::vector<char>::iterator` or `#!cpp std::string::const_iterator`. Before C++20 these iterators cannot be
told apart from other class-type iterators, so their range is read into an owned buffer, as is any non-contiguous
range (e.g. of a `#!cpp std::list<char>`).
See [`owns_source`](owns_source.md) to check which happened after a call, and the
[feature page](../../features/json_view.md) for the reasoning.
**Numbers.** As for [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md), an integer literal too large for the 64-bit
integer type becomes a floating-point value.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>parse_copy
```cpp
template<typename InputType>
static basic_json_document parse_copy(InputType&& input,
const bool allow_exceptions = true,
const bool ignore_comments = false,
const bool ignore_trailing_commas = false);
```
Deserialize from a compatible input, always taking the document's own copy of it, regardless of the value category or
type of `input`. Unlike [`parse()`](parse.md), the returned document never depends on `input` staying alive.
## Template parameters
`InputType`
: A compatible input; see [`parse`](parse.md#template-parameters).
## Parameters
`input` (in)
: Input to parse from.
`allow_exceptions` (in)
: whether to throw exceptions in case of a parse error (optional, `#!cpp true` by default)
`ignore_comments` (in)
: whether comments should be ignored and treated like whitespace (`#!cpp true`) or yield a parse error
(`#!cpp false`); (optional, `#!cpp false` by default)
`ignore_trailing_commas` (in)
: whether trailing commas in arrays or objects should be ignored and treated like whitespace (`#!cpp true`) or
yield a parse error (`#!cpp false`); (optional, `#!cpp false` by default)
## Return value
The parsed document, with [`owns_source()`](owns_source.md) `#!cpp true`. If `allow_exceptions` is `#!cpp false` and
the input is not valid JSON, the returned document is discarded; see [`is_discarded`](is_discarded.md).
## Exceptions
Same as [`parse`](parse.md#exceptions).
## Complexity
Linear in the length of the input.
## Notes
`parse_copy()` accepts and rejects exactly what [`parse()`](parse.md) does, and classifies numbers the same way; it
only differs in that the input is always copied rather than sometimes borrowed. Prefer [`parse()`](parse.md) when the
input's lifetime already covers the document's, since it avoids the copy for borrowed inputs.
## Examples

The example below returns a document from a function whose local buffer would otherwise not outlive it.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>push_back
```cpp
template<typename V>
view_type push_back(view_type array, V&& value);
```
Appends `value` as a new last element of `array`. A [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) `array` first becomes an
empty array, the same way [`set`](set.md) turns a null `object` into an empty object.
`value` is accepted three ways: a [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) of *any* document -- read-only or
editable, and it does not have to be `array`'s own document -- which is copied so that nothing is shared with the
source document afterward; a `BasicJsonType` value; or anything `BasicJsonType` can be constructed from (numbers,
strings, `#!cpp bool`, `#!cpp nullptr`, containers, ...).
Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
has `push_back`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).
## Template parameters
`V`
: the type of `value`, deduced; see above for what is accepted.
## Parameters
`array` (in)
: the array (or null value) to append to
`value` (in)
: the value to append
## Return value
a view of the new last element of `array`, now holding `value`
## Exception safety
Basic exception safety: `value` is fully encoded -- including the checks below -- into storage owned by the document
before anything already reachable from [`root()`](root.md) is touched, so a failure while encoding `value` (an
invalid argument, or `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`) leaves the document completely unchanged, other than memory allocated
for the encoding that is not reclaimed. A failure of a later allocation -- while `array` switches from its parsed
layout to a growable block, or while that block grows, see [Notes](#notes) -- can still leave a partial effect, such
as a null `array` argument already turned into an empty array even though `value` itself was not appended.
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.308`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error308) if `array` is neither an array nor
null -- the same message [`BasicJsonType::push_back`](../basic_json/push_back.md) throws for the same type. Throws
[`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) ("view does not belong to this
document") if `array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a view of a *different* document.
Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if `value` is a
[discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a [discarded](../basic_json/is_discarded.md) `BasicJsonType`
value, and [`type_error.319`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error319) if `value` is (or contains) a
binary value -- `BasicJsonType` can hold one, but a `json_document` cannot. Throws
[`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316) if `value` is (or contains) a string that is
not valid UTF-8, with the same message [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) gives for that string.
## Complexity
Amortized constant, plus time linear in the size of `value` to encode it into the document's storage (constant for
a scalar, linear in the number of nested values for an array or object): the elements of `array` move to a growable
block of links the first time it is appended to (or [`set`](set.md) on), and that block itself grows -- doubling its
capacity, so the cost of growing it amortizes to constant per element -- only once it runs out of room. See
[Notes](#notes).
## Notes
Like [`set`](set.md) on a member or an element, `push_back` never moves an existing element itself -- only where
`array`'s *links* to its elements live -- so a view of an existing element of `array` stays valid across a
`push_back`, but any iterator already taken over `array` is invalidated, since it was walking the old layout. See
[Edits](index.md#edits) for what stays valid across an edit in general.
## Examples
??? example
The example below appends records to an array one at a time, as they might arrive from a stream of events,
without ever building a `BasicJsonType` value for the array or for the records already in it, and shows that a
view taken from an earlier `push_back` still refers to the same element once later ones have run.

```cpp
template<typename InputType>
void read(InputType&& input,
const bool allow_exceptions = true,
const bool ignore_comments = false,
const bool ignore_trailing_commas = false);
```
(Re-)parses `input` into `#!cpp *this`, discarding the document's previous value and reusing its memory (the node
index, the decoded-string buffer, and, if applicable, the owned copy of the text) rather than allocating a fresh
document. [`parse()`](parse.md) is implemented in terms of this function, applied to a default-constructed document.
## Template parameters
`InputType`
: A compatible input; see [`parse`](parse.md#template-parameters).
## Parameters
`input` (in)
: Input to parse from.
`allow_exceptions` (in)
: whether to throw exceptions in case of a parse error (optional, `#!cpp true` by default)
`ignore_comments` (in)
: whether comments should be ignored and treated like whitespace (`#!cpp true`) or yield a parse error
(`#!cpp false`); (optional, `#!cpp false` by default)
`ignore_trailing_commas` (in)
: whether trailing commas in arrays or objects should be ignored and treated like whitespace (`#!cpp true`) or
yield a parse error (`#!cpp false`); (optional, `#!cpp false` by default)
## Exceptions

## Notes
Every view taken from `#!cpp *this` before the call -- including the previous [`root()`](root.md) -- is invalidated,
whether or not the new parse succeeds; take fresh views from [`root()`](root.md) afterward.
`input` is borrowed or owned by the same rules as [`parse()`](parse.md#notes); a document can borrow on one call and

Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
has `set`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).
1. Replaces the value `target` refers to with `value`.
2. Sets the member `key` of the object `object` to `value`: assigns it if `object` already has a member with this
key -- the first one, should the key occur more than once, and the later duplicates are then dropped (see the
[Notes](#notes) below) -- or appends a new member at the end otherwise. A [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md)
`object` first becomes an empty object.
3. Assigns `value` to the element at index `idx` of the array `array`, which must already exist (`#!cpp idx <
array.size()`).
4. Sets the value the JSON pointer `ptr` refers to, relative to [`root()`](root.md), to `value`. The *parent* of the
target must already exist: an object member is set as in 2. (added if it does not exist yet), an array element is
assigned as in 3., and a last reference token of `#!cpp "-"`, or equal to the size of the array, appends `value`
instead, exactly as [`push_back`](push_back.md) would. An empty `ptr` sets [`root()`](root.md) itself, as in 1.
In every overload, `value` is accepted three ways: a [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) of *any*
document -- read-only or editable, and it does not have to be `target`'s/`object`'s/`array`'s own document -- which
is copied so that nothing is shared with the source document afterward; a `BasicJsonType` value; or anything
`BasicJsonType` can be constructed from (numbers, strings, `#!cpp bool`, `#!cpp nullptr`, containers, ...).
## Template parameters
`V`
: the type of `value`, deduced; see above for what is accepted.
`I`
: an integral type other than `#!cpp bool`, deduced (overloads taking a `#!cpp bool` or a non-integral type for
`idx` do not participate in overload resolution).
## Parameters
`target` (in)
: the value to replace
`object` (in)
: the object (or null value) whose member to set
`array` (in)
: the array whose element to assign
`key` (in)
: the key of the member to set
`idx` (in)
: the index of the element to assign; a negative value throws (see [Exceptions](#exceptions))
`ptr` (in)
: a JSON pointer to the value to set, relative to `root()`
`value` (in)
: the new value
## Return value
1. a view of `target`, now holding `value`
2. a view of the member `key` of `object`, now holding `value`
3. a view of the element `idx` of `array`, now holding `value`
4. a view of the value `ptr` refers to, now holding `value`
## Exception safety
Basic exception safety: `value` is fully encoded -- including the checks below -- into storage owned by the document
before anything already reachable from [`root()`](root.md) is touched, so a failure while encoding `value` (an
invalid argument, or `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`) leaves the document completely unchanged, other than memory allocated
for the encoding that is not reclaimed. A failure of a later allocation -- while an edited array or object switches
from its parsed layout to a growable block, see [Notes](#notes) -- can still leave a partial effect, such as a
[null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) `object`/`array` argument already turned into an empty object/array even
though `value` itself was not linked in.
## Exceptions
1. Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if `value` is a
[discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view, or a [discarded](../basic_json/is_discarded.md)
`BasicJsonType` value (e.g. `#!cpp BasicJsonType(value_t::discarded)`) -- an object or array `value`, of either
kind, is fine and is encoded as a whole subtree.
2. Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if `object` is neither an object
nor null -- the same message [`operator[]`](../basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D.md) throws for a string argument on
such a value. Throws [`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316) if `key` is not
valid UTF-8, with the same message [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) gives for that string.
Also throws what 1. throws for `value`.
3. Throws `type_error.305` if `array` is not an array -- the same message `operator[]` throws for a numeric argument
on such a value. Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `idx` is
negative, or if `#!cpp idx >= array.size()`. Also throws what 1. throws for `value`.
4. Throws what [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md) throws (overload 3) for resolving `ptr`'s parent, except that a
missing object member or an array index equal to the array's size at the very last reference token is not an
error there (it becomes a new member or an appended element) instead of
[`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403)/[`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402).
For the last reference token itself: if the parent is an object (or a primitive value, where it throws
`type_error.305`), throws what 2. throws; if the parent is an array, throws what 3. throws for an index that is
out of range, or, for a token that is not a valid array index,
[`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) (a leading `#!cpp '0'`),
[`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) (not a number),
[`out_of_range.410`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range410) (too large for `size_type`), or
[`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) (an empty token). Also throws what 1.
throws for `value`.
Every overload also throws [`type_error.319`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error319) if `value` is (or
contains) a binary value -- `BasicJsonType` can hold one, but a `json_document` cannot -- and
[`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) ("view does not belong to this
document") if `target`/`object`/`array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a view of a
*different* document (overloads 1-3 only; overload 4 always starts from this document's own [`root()`](root.md)).
## Complexity
1. Linear in the size of `value` (encoding it into the document's storage): constant for a scalar, linear in the
number of nested values for an array or object. If `target` is itself an array or object that spans more than one
node in its parent's original, unedited layout, and `value` is a scalar, replacing it additionally costs time
linear in the number of elements of that parent, the *first* time -- see [Notes](#notes).
2. Linear in the number of members of `object`, to find an existing member with `key`, plus the complexity of 1. for
`value`.
3. Constant, plus the complexity of 1. for `value`.
4. Linear in the number of reference tokens of `ptr` and, for each token, in the number of members of the object at
that level or the index into the array (as [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md)), plus the complexity of 2. or 3. for
the last token.
## Notes
!!! info "Duplicate keys"
If `object` already has more than one member with `key` (2.), the *first* one is assigned `value` and every
later member with the same key is removed -- so that a lookup, an iteration, and
[`materialize()`](../basic_json_view/materialize.md) of `object` afterward all agree on a single value for
`key`, the same way [`operator[]`](../basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D.md) already picks the first occurrence of a
duplicate key for reading. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](../basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D.md#notes) of
`operator[]`.
Setting a member (2.) or an element (3., through 4.) of an array or object whose elements have not been edited
before switches it from its parsed layout to a growable block holding links to its elements; a later
[`push_back`](push_back.md) or `set` on the same container reuses that block, growing it (amortized constant time)
only once it runs out of room. This never moves an element itself -- only where the container's *links* to its
elements live -- so a view of an element stays valid, but any iterator already taken over the container is
invalidated, since it was walking the old layout. See [Edits](index.md#edits) for what stays valid across an edit in
general.
The same switch happens, for the same reason, when overload 1. replaces a multi-node array/object value with a
scalar: the *parent's* element sequence is what has to switch to links, not `target` itself, because the parent
originally stepped over `target`'s whole subtree by its node count, which no longer applies once `target` is a
one-node scalar.
## Examples
??? example "Example: (1)/(2)/(3)/(4) replace a value, set a member, assign an element, set via a JSON pointer"
The example below edits a small configuration document -- replacing a value, adding an object member, assigning
an array element, and reaching a field through a JSON pointer -- and shows what
[`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) preserves that is lost once the same edits are made on a `BasicJsonType`
value instead: the order object members were written in, and the exact spelling of a number that was never
touched.

Releases capacity that is no longer needed, both of the node index and of the buffer for decoded strings (strings that
contained escape sequences), e.g. after [`read()`](read.md) replaced a large document with a much smaller one. Like
`#!cpp std::vector::shrink_to_fit()`, this is a non-binding request: the library may keep more capacity than strictly
necessary.
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the document.
## Exceptions
May throw `#!cpp std::bad_alloc` if the reallocation fails; on exception, the document is unchanged.
## Complexity
Linear in [`node_count()`](node_count.md) plus the length of the decoded strings.
## Notes
!!! warning "Invalidates views"
Unlike moving the document, `shrink_to_fit()` **invalidates every view taken from this document before the
call**, including a previously obtained [`root()`](root.md): the node index is moved into a new, smaller
allocation, and the old one is freed. Take a fresh view from [`root()`](root.md) after calling this function.
This is unlike `#!cpp std::vector::shrink_to_fit()`, which promises nothing about validity but in practice often
leaves iterators alone when it did not need to reallocate; here, an implementation that avoids a reallocation when
possible would be an internal optimization only, not a guarantee to rely on.

: index of the element to access
`ptr` (in)
: JSON pointer to the element to access
## Return value
1. the value of the first member with key `key`
2. the element at index `idx`
3. the value `ptr` resolves to, starting at this value
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
1. The function can throw the following exceptions, both with the same message as the corresponding call to
[`BasicJsonType::at`](../basic_json/at.md):
- Throws [`type_error.304`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error304) if the value is not an object.
- Throws [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403) if no member has key `key`.
2. The function can throw the following exceptions, both with the same message as the corresponding call to
[`BasicJsonType::at`](../basic_json/at.md):
- Throws [`type_error.304`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error304) if the value is not an array.
- Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `#!cpp idx >= size()`.
3. The function can throw the following exceptions, all with the same message as the corresponding call to
[`BasicJsonType::at`](../basic_json/at.md):
- Throws [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index in `ptr`
begins with `#!cpp '0'`.
- Throws [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index in `ptr` is
not a number.
- Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if an array index in `ptr`
is out of range.
- Throws [`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402) if a reference token is
`#!cpp "-"` at an array -- `at` never inserts an element, so `#!cpp "-"` is always invalid.
- Throws [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403) if a reference token names
an object member that does not exist.
- Throws [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) if `ptr` cannot be resolved
because a reference token is used on a primitive value.
None of these exceptions carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
1. 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.
Objects with 128 or more members get a hash index while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes constant time
on average.
2. Linear in `idx`: elements are skipped one at a time from the first one, since they are not a fixed size in the
index (unlike `BasicJsonType`'s array, which is random-access).
3. Linear in the number of reference tokens of `ptr` and, for each token, in the number of members of the object at
that level (as 1.) or the index into the array (as 2.).
## Notes
Unlike [`operator[]`](operator[].md), which returns a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view for a missing key or an
out-of-range index, `at` always throws -- exactly as `BasicJsonType::at` does, and with the same messages, so
existing error handling written against `BasicJsonType::at` keeps working unchanged when switched to a view. This
also holds for overload 3: unlike [`operator[]`](operator[].md) with a JSON pointer, which returns a discarded view
for a missing key or an out-of-range index, `at` throws for those too (`out_of_range.403`/`out_of_range.401`).
## Examples
??? example "Example: (1)/(2) access specified element with bounds checking"
The example below reads required fields out of a service configuration with `at`, and shows that the exceptions
it throws -- for a wrong type and for a missing key -- carry the same messages
[`BasicJsonType::at`](../basic_json/at.md) would produce for the same JSON text.
```cpp

```
Output:

??? example "Example: (3) access specified element via JSON pointer with bounds checking"

Returns the last element of an array, the last member value of an object, or the value itself if it is primitive
(as for [`BasicJsonType::back()`](../basic_json/back.md), a primitive value is a range of one element).
## Return value
The last element or member value. For a primitive value (number, string, boolean), the value itself.
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
Throws [`invalid_iterator.214`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator214) if the view is
[null](is_null.md) or [discarded](is_discarded.md), or if it is an empty array or object.
This exception does not carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the array or object: unlike [`front()`](front.md), which only ever looks at the first
element, `back()` has to walk every element to find where they end, since elements are not a fixed size in the
index.
## Notes
Unlike [`BasicJsonType::back()`](../basic_json/back.md), which has undefined behavior for an empty array or object,
`back()` throws `invalid_iterator.214` in that case -- the same way it already does for `#!json null` and for a
discarded view, where `BasicJsonType::back()` also throws.
## Examples
??? example
The example below reads only the final status of a build log with `back()`. Even though `back()` is linear in
the number of events (unlike [`front()`](front.md), which is constant), it still avoids building a

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>begin
```cpp
iterator begin() const noexcept;
```
Returns an iterator to the first element of an array, or the first member value of an object, in **document order**
-- the order the values appear in the source text, not sorted by key. A primitive value iterates as a range of one
element (itself); `#!json null` and a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view iterate as an empty range.
## Return value
Iterator to the first element.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
For an object, iteration visits **every** member, including all occurrences of a duplicate key -- unlike
[`operator[]`](operator[].md), [`at`](at.md), [`find`](find.md), [`contains`](contains.md), and [`count`](count.md),
which all resolve to the *first* member with a given key. See the
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of `operator[]`.
Because objects are iterated in document order rather than sorted by key, the order seen here can differ from what
iterating the [`materialize()`](materialize.md)d `BasicJsonType` value would produce: a `#!cpp basic_json` object
(`std::map`-backed by default) sorts its keys, while a view does not.
## Examples

string_t dump(const int indent = -1,
const char indent_char = ' ',
const bool ensure_ascii = false,
const number_format numbers = number_format::shortest) const;
```
Serializes this value (and its subtree) directly from the flat index, without ever building a `BasicJsonType` value
first. With the default `#!cpp numbers == number_format::shortest`, the result is the same string
[`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md) would produce for the value
[`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) builds from the same source text, called with the same `indent`,
`indent_char`, and `ensure_ascii` -- except that members of an object appear in document order rather than sorted by
key, and *every* occurrence of a repeated key is written rather than only the last one (see
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes)). For a `json_view` (whose `BasicJsonType` is not ordered), this means
`dump()` can print an object's members in a different order than [`materialize()`](materialize.md)`.dump()` of the
same subtree.
## Parameters
`indent` (in)
: If `indent` is nonnegative, array elements and object members are pretty-printed with that indent level. An
indent level of `0` only inserts newlines. `-1` (the default) selects the most compact representation.
`indent_char` (in)
: The character used for indentation if `indent` is greater than `0`. The default is ` ` (space).
`ensure_ascii` (in)
: If `ensure_ascii` is `#!cpp true`, all non-ASCII characters in the output are escaped with `\uXXXX` sequences, and
the result consists of ASCII characters only.
`numbers` (in)
: how to write numbers, see [`number_format`](number_format.md): `shortest` (the default) writes them the way
[`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md) would; `source` copies every number exactly as it appears in the
source text.
## Return value
string containing the serialization of this value, or `#!cpp "<discarded>"` if the view is
[discarded](is_discarded.md).
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
May throw `#!cpp std::bad_alloc` if allocating the output string fails. Unlike
[`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md), there is no `error_handler` parameter and no
[`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316): the view only ever holds text the parser
already validated as UTF-8, so there is nothing to replace or ignore.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the output text.
## Notes
The walk over the subtree is iterative, so the nesting depth it can write is limited by available memory only, not by
the call stack -- as for [`materialize()`](materialize.md).
Strings are escaped by the same rules as [`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md). With
`#!cpp numbers == number_format::shortest`, floats are written with the library's shortest round-trip conversion,
exactly as [`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md) would (e.g. `#!cpp 1.5`, `#!cpp 100.0`, `#!cpp 1e+100`), and
integers are copied from the source text -- already canonical in JSON, so this matches their shortest form too --
except that `#!cpp -0` is written as `#!cpp 0`, the way [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) reads it.
`#!cpp number_format::source` copies every number exactly as written in the source text instead, with no exception
for `#!cpp -0` -- `#!cpp 1.50`, `#!cpp 1E2`, `#!cpp -0.0`, `#!cpp -0`, or all digits of an integer literal with more
digits than any number type holds (such a literal is itself classified as a float, see
[What is different](../../features/json_view.md#what-is-different)) -- something `BasicJsonType` cannot do, since
parsing already reduces every number to its parsed value.
## Examples
??? example
The example below forwards a single record out of a larger batch, and re-serializes a configuration file, both
without ever building a `BasicJsonType` value for the surrounding array or for the parts of it that were not
needed. It also shows that [`materialize()`](materialize.md)`.dump()` of the configuration sorts its keys, where
`dump()` on the view keeps the order they appear in the source text.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>find
```cpp
iterator find(string_view_t key) const;
iterator find(const char* key) const;
iterator find(const string_t& key) const;
```
Finds a member with key `key` -- the first one, should the key occur more than once (see
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes)). If the value is not an object, or no member has this key,
[`end()`](end.md) is returned.
## Parameters
`key` (in)
: key value of the element to search for
## Return value
An iterator to the member with key `key`, or [`end()`](end.md) if there is none or the value is not an object.
## 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.
Objects with 128 or more members get a hash index while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes constant time on
average.
## Notes
Unlike [`BasicJsonType::find`](../basic_json/find.md), which always returns `#!cpp end()` for a non-object type, this
also does so for a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view -- there is no separate "invalid" iterator to return.
## Examples
??? example
The example below scans a batch of events for those that carry an optional `user_id` field, using `find()`
instead of [`operator[]`](operator[].md) (which would throw for the events that are not objects at all) or
[`contains()`](contains.md) followed by a second lookup. Events without a match are never materialized.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>front
```cpp
basic_json_view front() const;
```
Returns the first element of an array, the first member value of an object, or the value itself if it is primitive
(as for [`BasicJsonType::front()`](../basic_json/front.md), a primitive value is a range of one element).
## Return value
The first element or member value. For a primitive value (number, string, boolean), the value itself.
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
Throws [`invalid_iterator.214`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator214) if the view is
[null](is_null.md) or [discarded](is_discarded.md), or if it is an empty array or object.
This exception does not carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
Unlike [`BasicJsonType::front()`](../basic_json/front.md), which has undefined behavior for an empty array or
object, `front()` throws `invalid_iterator.214` in that case -- the same way it already does for `#!json null` and
for a discarded view, where `BasicJsonType::front()` also throws.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>get
```cpp
template<typename T>
T get() const;
```
Converts the value to `T`.
For the types below, the conversion works directly on the flat index -- no `BasicJsonType` value is built for it:
- `#!cpp bool`
- arithmetic types other than `#!cpp bool` (from a number; from a boolean, as `#!cpp 0`/`#!cpp 1`, exactly as
[`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md) converts a boolean)
- `#!cpp std::nullptr_t`
- `#!cpp std::basic_string<char, Traits, Alloc>` (including `string_t`) -- a copy of the string
- [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) -- **no copy**: the returned view points into the document's
[`source()`](../basic_json_document/source.md) text, or, for a string that contains escape sequences, into the
document's own buffer of decoded strings (see [`get_string()`](get_string.md))
- `BasicJsonType` -- equivalent to [`materialize()`](materialize.md)
- `basic_json_view` -- returns `#!cpp *this`
- `#!cpp std::vector<U, A>` -- element by element, each converted with `#!cpp get<U>()`; `#!cpp
std::vector<basic_json_view>` keeps a view of every element instead of a value
- `#!cpp std::map<K, V, C, A>` and `#!cpp std::unordered_map<K, V, H, E, A>`, if `K` is constructible from a `#!cpp
(const char*, std::size_t)` pair -- member by member, each value converted with `#!cpp get<V>()`; with a repeated
key, the *last* value is kept, as [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) (and
[`materialize()`](materialize.md)) does; `#!cpp std::map<std::string, basic_json_view>` keeps views of the members
instead of values
Every other `T` -- `#!cpp std::list`, `#!cpp std::pair`, `#!cpp std::array`, enumerations, user types with a
`from_json()`, ... -- is converted by `#!cpp materialize().get<T>()`: the subtree is built into a real `BasicJsonType`
value first (as [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) would), and converted from there exactly as
[`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md) would convert it.
## Template parameters
`T`
: the type to convert the value to
## Return value
the value, converted to `T`
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
- For the directly-converted types listed above (other than `BasicJsonType` and `basic_json_view`, which never
throw): throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if the value's type does not
match `T` -- the same exception, with the same message, that [`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md)
throws for the same JSON type and `T`.
- For `#!cpp std::vector<U, A>`: throws `type_error.302` if the value is not an array; otherwise, whatever converting
an element to `U` throws.
- For `#!cpp std::map`/`#!cpp std::unordered_map`: throws `type_error.302` if the value is not an object; otherwise,
whatever converting a member to the mapped type throws.
- For every other `T`: whatever [`materialize().get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md) throws -- typically `type_error.302`,
or whatever a user-provided `from_json()` throws.
None of the exceptions thrown directly by this function (the first three bullets above) carry a
[`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no `BasicJsonType` value to point at. An
exception thrown while converting through `materialize()` (the last bullet) is different: it is thrown by a real
`BasicJsonType` value, so it **does** carry a `JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` path if `BasicJsonType` was built with it enabled.
## Complexity
- `#!cpp bool`, arithmetic types, `#!cpp std::nullptr_t`, [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types), `basic_json_view`:
constant.
- `#!cpp std::basic_string<char, Traits, Alloc>`: constant, plus one allocation and a copy of the string's bytes.
- `BasicJsonType`: linear in the size of the subtree, see [`materialize()`](materialize.md).
- `#!cpp std::vector<U, A>`: linear in the number of elements, times the complexity of converting one element to `U`.
- `#!cpp std::map`/`#!cpp std::unordered_map`: linear in the number of members for walking them, plus the container's
own insertion cost per member (logarithmic for `#!cpp std::map`, amortized constant for `#!cpp
std::unordered_map`), times the complexity of converting one member to the mapped type.
- every other `T`: linear in the size of the subtree (building the `BasicJsonType` value), plus the complexity of
[`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md) on it.
## Notes
!!! info "Floating-point values"
A floating-point `T` is converted from the same digits the lexer would see during `#!cpp BasicJsonType::parse()`,
using the same conversion, so the result is bit-for-bit identical to `#!cpp BasicJsonType::parse(text).get<T>()`
for the same source text.
!!! info "Duplicate keys"
`#!cpp std::map`/`#!cpp std::unordered_map` conversions keep the *last* value of a repeated key, like
[`materialize()`](materialize.md) and [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) do. This is the opposite
of [`operator[]`](operator[].md)/[`at`](at.md)/[`find`](find.md)/[`contains`](contains.md), which resolve to the
*first* occurrence (see the [Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes)).
!!! info "No pointers, references, or implicit conversion"
Unlike `BasicJsonType`, `basic_json_view` has no stored value anywhere to hand out a pointer or a reference to, so
it provides neither `#!cpp get_ptr()`, `#!cpp get_ref()`, nor `#!cpp operator ValueType()`.
[`get_string()`](get_string.md) (equivalently, `#!cpp get<string_view_t>()`) is the zero-copy alternative for
strings.
## Examples
??? example
The example below reads typed fields straight into C++ variables, collects a view of every array element with
`#!cpp get<std::vector<basic_json_view>>()` instead of a value, and converts a nested object into a user type
through its `from_json()` -- which runs on a `BasicJsonType` value `materialize()` builds for just that one
member.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>get_string
```cpp
string_view_t get_string() const;
```
Returns the string value as a [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types), without copying it.
## Return value
The string, as a [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) that points either into the document's
[`source()`](../basic_json_document/source.md) text (a string with no escape sequences), or into the document's own
buffer of decoded strings (a string that contains escape sequences, such as `#!json "\n"` or `#!json "\u00e9"`, which
had to be decoded once when the document was parsed).
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if the value is not a string; example:
`"type must be string, but is array"`.
This exception does not carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
`basic_json_view` has no `BasicJsonType` value stored anywhere, so unlike `BasicJsonType`, it has no `get_ref()` to
hand out a reference to a stored `string_t`. `get_string()` (equivalently, [`get<string_view_t>()`](get.md)) is the
zero-copy alternative: [`BasicJsonType::get_ref<const string_t&>()`](../basic_json/get_ref.md) is its closest
counterpart, except that it returns a view instead of a reference to a value that must already exist.
The returned [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) is valid exactly as long as the view that produced it -- see the
[validity rules](index.md) of `basic_json_view` -- and, for a string with no escapes, for as long as the document's
source text.
## Examples
??? example
The example below pulls one field out of a JSON text that stands in for a large API response, and shows that no
`#!cpp std::string` was allocated for it: the returned view still points inside the original buffer. A field that
contains an escape sequence cannot point into the original text -- it was decoded once into the document's own
buffer instead -- but still avoids a per-field allocation.

# <small>nlohmann::</small>basic_json_view
<small>Defined in header `<nlohmann/json_view.hpp>`</small>
```cpp
template<typename BasicJsonType, bool Editable = false>
class basic_json_view;
```
A read-only handle to one value of a [`basic_json_document`](../basic_json_document/index.md): two pointers (a pointer
to the document and a pointer into its index), trivially copyable. A view is valid as long as
- the document is alive,
- the document has not been re-parsed with [`read()`](../basic_json_document/read.md) (or
[`parse()`](../basic_json_document/parse.md) into it) or shrunk with
[`shrink_to_fit()`](../basic_json_document/shrink_to_fit.md) since the view was taken, and
- if the document borrows its source text, that text is still alive.
Moving the document itself does not invalidate its views: the index is heap-allocated independently of the
`basic_json_document` object.
`basic_json_view` provides the read-only part of the `BasicJsonType` interface: the type-inspection functions, element
access, lookup, iteration, conversion, and comparison -- [`get<T>()`](get.md), [`get_string()`](get_string.md),
[`number_token()`](number_token.md), and [`materialize()`](materialize.md) to build the `BasicJsonType` value of a
subtree on demand. [`operator[]`](operator%5B%5D.md), [`at`](at.md), [`contains`](contains.md), and
[`value`](value.md) also accept a [`json_pointer`](../json_pointer/index.md). [`operator==`](operator_eq.md) and
[`operator!=`](operator_ne.md) compare two views, or a view and a `BasicJsonType` value, without ever building a
`BasicJsonType` value for a view; no ordering comparison (`#!cpp operator<`) is provided.
`basic_json_view` itself is always read-only -- it never has a `set` or `push_back` of its own. A view of an
**editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`) sees every edit made through
[`basic_json_document::set`](../basic_json_document/set.md) and
[`basic_json_document::push_back`](../basic_json_document/push_back.md): once a value is changed, every view that
still refers to it -- including ones taken before the change -- reads the new value. See
[Edits](../basic_json_document/index.md#edits).
## Template parameters
`BasicJsonType`
: a specialization of [`basic_json`](../basic_json/index.md), matching the
[`basic_json_document`](../basic_json_document/index.md) the view was taken from.
`Editable`
: whether the view is of an editable document, matching the [`basic_json_document`](../basic_json_document/index.md)
it was taken from (optional, `#!cpp false` by default). See [Edits](../basic_json_document/index.md#edits).
## Specializations
- [**json_view**](../json_view.md) - views of a [`json_document`](../json_document.md)

## Member types
- **value_t** - the JSON type enumeration, see [`basic_json::value_t`](../basic_json/value_t.md)
- **string_t**, **number_integer_t**, **number_unsigned_t**, **number_float_t**, **json_pointer** - the corresponding
member types of `BasicJsonType`
- **size_type** - `#!cpp std::size_t`
- **string_view_t** - `#!cpp std::string_view` on C++17 and newer, a minimal internal substitute otherwise
- **iterator**, **const_iterator** - a forward iterator over the elements of an array or the member values of an
object, in document order; both names refer to the same type, since a view is always read-only
- **item** - a (key, value) pair produced by [`items()`](items.md)
- [**number_format**](number_format.md) - how [`dump()`](dump.md) writes numbers

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>items
```cpp
/* unspecified */ items() const noexcept;
```
Returns a range of [`item`](index.md#member-types) values -- (key, value) pairs -- for use in range-based for loops.
The key of an array element is its index, converted to a string, as for
[`BasicJsonType::items()`](../basic_json/items.md).
The returned type is not part of the public API and may change between versions; use a range-based for loop (see the
example), or `#!cpp decltype(v.items())` if you need to name it.
```cpp
for (const auto& item : v.items())
{
std::cout << "key: " << item.key() << ", value: " << item.value() << '\n';
}
```
On C++17, `item` also supports [structured bindings](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/structured_binding):
```cpp
for (const auto [key, value] : v.items())
{
std::cout << "key: " << key << ", value: " << value << '\n';
}
```
Note the `#!cpp const auto` (by value), not `#!cpp const auto&`: unlike `BasicJsonType::items()`, whose elements are
references into an existing object, a view's `item` is produced on the fly for each step of the iteration, so there
is nothing for a reference to bind to.
## Return value
A range whose iterators dereference to [`item`](index.md#member-types) and whose `#!cpp begin()`/`#!cpp end()` are
equivalent to [`basic_json_view::begin()`](begin.md)/[`end()`](end.md), in document order.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
As for [`begin()`](begin.md)/[`end()`](end.md), `items()` visits **every** member of an object, including all
occurrences of a duplicate key -- unlike [`operator[]`](operator[].md), [`at`](at.md), [`find`](find.md),
[`contains`](contains.md), and [`count`](count.md), which resolve to the *first* member with a given key. See the
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of `operator[]`.
!!! danger "Lifetime issues"
As for `BasicJsonType::items()`, calling `items()` on a temporary view (or a temporary document) is dangerous:
the range refers back to the document, so the document must outlive the loop. See
[#2040](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/2040) for the `BasicJsonType` background.
## Examples
??? example
The example below shows a settings object whose source text records every update to a key as a duplicate
member, in the order they happened. `items()` walks all of them, so the update history is visible, while
[`operator[]`](operator[].md) only ever sees the *first* one and [`materialize()`](materialize.md) -- like
[`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) -- keeps only the *last*.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>materialize
```cpp
BasicJsonType materialize() const;
```
Builds the `BasicJsonType` value of this subtree: the value [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) would
have produced for the same source text, allocated for the first time by this call.
## Return value
The `BasicJsonType` value of this subtree, or a discarded `BasicJsonType` value (`#!cpp BasicJsonType(value_t::discarded)`)
if the view is [discarded](is_discarded.md).
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to (nothing
about either is mutated by this function).
## Exceptions
May throw `#!cpp std::bad_alloc` (via `BasicJsonType`'s allocator) if constructing the result fails.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the subtree.
## Notes
`materialize()` replays the subtree through the same SAX builder [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md)
uses internally, so the result matches it exactly -- including, for an object, that a repeated key keeps only its
last value. The replay is iterative, so it is not limited by the call stack the way a naive recursive conversion
would be; the JSON nesting depth is limited only by available memory, as for `BasicJsonType::parse()` itself.
Unlike parsing with [`JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS`](../macros/json_diagnostic_positions.md) enabled, the values
produced by `materialize()` do not carry source positions: there is no lexer run during the replay to record them.
Calling `materialize()` on the same view repeatedly builds a new, independent `BasicJsonType` value each time; it
never caches the result.
## Examples
??? example
The example below skips messages that are not useful -- a discarded value, or an empty array -- using only
[`is_array()`](is_array.md) and [`empty()`](empty.md), and calls `materialize()` only for the messages that are
actually used, so no `BasicJsonType` value (and none of its per-element allocations) is ever built for the
skipped ones.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>number_format
```cpp
enum class number_format {

This enumeration is used in [`dump`](dump.md) to choose how numbers are written. Two values are differentiated:
shortest
: integers are copied from the source text -- already canonical in JSON -- except that `#!cpp -0` becomes
`#!cpp 0`, the way [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) reads it; floats are written with the
library's shortest round-trip conversion, exactly as [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) would (e.g.
`#!cpp 1.5`, `#!cpp 100.0`, `#!cpp 1e+100`)
source
: every number is copied exactly as it appears in the source text -- `#!cpp 1.50`, `#!cpp 1E2`, `#!cpp -0`, all
digits of an integer literal with more digits than any number type holds -- something `BasicJsonType` cannot do,
since parsing already reduces every number to its parsed value
## Examples
??? example
The example below writes back a price list received from a supplier: with `number_format::shortest` (the
default), a trailing zero and scientific notation are normalized away and a long account number that overflows
every number type is rounded, the same way `#!cpp materialize().dump()` (or `basic_json::dump()`) would;

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>number_token

Returns the number exactly as it appears in the source text, without parsing or rounding it.
## Return value
The number's token text, as a [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) into the document's
[`source()`](../basic_json_document/source.md) text -- for example `#!cpp "1.50"`, `#!cpp "1E2"`, `#!cpp "-0"`, or an
integer literal with more digits than any number type holds (such as a 30-digit integer, which [`get<T>()`](get.md)
and [`materialize()`](materialize.md) can only represent approximately, as a `number_float_t`).
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if the value is not a number; example:
`"type must be number, but is string"`.
This exception does not carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
`BasicJsonType` has no counterpart to this function: once a number is parsed into `number_integer_t`,
`number_unsigned_t`, or `number_float_t`, its original textual form (leading zeros aside, which are already rejected
by the grammar; trailing zeros in the fraction; the case and sign of the exponent; ...) is gone. `number_token()` is
useful precisely where that form must survive -- a price or an identifier that must be reproduced exactly, or a
number too large for any of `BasicJsonType`'s number types to hold without loss.
The returned [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) always points into the document's
[`source()`](../basic_json_document/source.md) text -- numbers are never decoded into the document's separate string
buffer -- and is valid exactly as long as that text is, see the [validity rules](index.md) of `basic_json_view`.
## Examples
??? example
The example below keeps a price and an order ID exactly as they were written in an incoming order, where
converting them with [`get<T>()`](get.md) would lose information: the price picks up floating-point rounding, and
the order ID -- more digits than a 64-bit integer holds -- can only be approximated as a `#!cpp double` once
`#!cpp materialize()`d.

1. Returns the value of the object member with key `key` -- the first one, should the key occur more than once (see
the [Notes](#notes) below) -- or a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view if there is no such member.
2. Returns the array element at index `idx`, or a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view if `idx` is out of range. (The
`#!cpp int` overload only exists so that an integer literal is not ambiguous between this overload and 1.)
3. Returns the value a JSON pointer `ptr` refers to, starting at this value, or a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view
wherever resolving it further is not possible without inserting into or extending the document (see
[Return value](#return-value) and [Exceptions](#exceptions) below).
## Parameters
`key` (in)
: object key of the element to access
`idx` (in)
: index of the element to access
`ptr` (in)
: JSON pointer to the element to access
## Return value
1. the value of the first member with key `key`, or a discarded view if `#!cpp is_object()` is `#!cpp false` or no
member has this key
2. the element at index `idx`, or a discarded view if `#!cpp is_array()` is `#!cpp false` or `#!cpp idx >= size()`
3. the value `ptr` resolves to, starting at this value, or a discarded view for exactly the reference tokens where the
**const** overload of [`BasicJsonType::operator[]`](../basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) invokes undefined behavior for
the same pointer and the same document: an object member that does not exist, or an array index that is out of
range
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
1. Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if the value is not an object --
the same exception, with the same message, that the **const** overload of
[`BasicJsonType::operator[]`](../basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) throws for a string argument on a non-object value.
2. Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if the value is not an array --
the same exception, with the same message, that the **const** overload of
[`BasicJsonType::operator[]`](../basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) throws for a numeric argument on a non-array value.
3. Throws the same exceptions, with the same messages, that the **const** overload of
[`BasicJsonType::operator[]`](../basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) throws for the same pointer and the same document:
- [`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402) if a reference token is `#!cpp "-"`
at an array.
- [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) if a reference token cannot be
resolved because it is used on a primitive value.
- [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index in `ptr` begins
with `#!cpp '0'`.
- [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index in `ptr` is not a
number.
None of these exceptions carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
1. 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, so a key of a
different length than `key` is rejected without touching the source text.
Objects with 128 or more members get a hash index while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes constant time
on average.
2. Linear in `idx`: elements are skipped one at a time from the first one, since they are not a fixed size in the
index (unlike `BasicJsonType`'s array, which is random-access).
3. Linear in the number of reference tokens of `ptr` and, for each token, in the number of members of the object at
that level (as 1.) or the index into the array (as 2.).
## Notes
Unlike `BasicJsonType::operator[]`, which is undefined behavior (guarded by a
[runtime assertion](../../features/assertions.md)) for a missing key on a **const** value, this operator always
returns a safe, testable result: a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view, which is `#!cpp false` in a boolean context.
There is also no non-const overload that inserts a missing key or extends an array -- a view never modifies the

If the source text has an object with a duplicate key, `#!cpp operator[]` (and [`at`](at.md), [`find`](find.md),
[`contains`](contains.md), [`count`](count.md)) all resolve to the *first* member with that key, because a
lookup can stop as soon as it finds a match. This is different from
[`materialize()`](materialize.md) (and [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md)), which replay every
member in order and so end up keeping the *last* value for a repeated key -- there is no reason for them to stop
early. [`begin()`](begin.md)/[`end()`](end.md) and [`items()`](items.md) iterate over *all* members, including
duplicates, in document order. See the example below and [`size()`](size.md#notes).
!!! info "JSON pointer resolution"
Overload 3 walks `ptr` one reference token at a time, starting at this value, the same way [`at`](at.md) and
[`contains`](contains.md) do. It only ever returns a discarded view where the **const** overload of
`BasicJsonType::operator[]` would be undefined behavior for the same pointer -- a missing object member or an
out-of-range array index -- and still throws for every other way `ptr` can fail to resolve. See
[`at`](at.md#exceptions) for the checked version, which throws in every case instead, and
[`contains`](contains.md) for a version that never throws.
## Examples
??? example "Example: (1)/(2) access specified element"
The example below reads a couple of fields out of a batch of user records without ever materializing a full
`BasicJsonType` value for the batch. `operator[]` is used both to look up an optional object member and to index
into an array -- in both cases, a missing value comes back as a discarded view that can be tested with a plain
`#!cpp if`, instead of relying on undefined behavior.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__operator[].cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__operator[].output"
```
??? example "Example: (3) access specified element via JSON pointer"
The example below reaches straight into one deeply nested field of a large document with a single JSON pointer,
without ever building a tree for the rest of it, and shows the discarded-view and throwing outcomes of a pointer
that cannot be fully resolved.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__operator[]_json_pointer.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__operator[]_json_pointer.output"

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>operator bool
```cpp
explicit operator bool() const noexcept;
```
Returns whether this view refers to a value, i.e. the negation of [`is_discarded()`](is_discarded.md). Being
`#!cpp explicit`, this conversion is only considered in a boolean context (`#!cpp if (v)`, `#!cpp !v`, `#!cpp v &&
...`), not for implicit conversions to other types.
## Return value
`#!cpp true` if the view refers to a value, `#!cpp false` if it is [discarded](is_discarded.md).
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Examples
??? example
The example below classifies several parsed documents by the type of their root value, without materializing any
of them into a `BasicJsonType` value.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__type_predicates.cpp"

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>operator==
```cpp
// (1)
bool operator==(const basic_json_view& lhs, const basic_json_view& rhs);
// (2)
bool operator==(const basic_json_view& lhs, const BasicJsonType& rhs);
bool operator==(const BasicJsonType& lhs, const basic_json_view& rhs);
```
1. Compares two views for equality: whether the values [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) would
produce for `lhs` and `rhs` are equal, according to `BasicJsonType`'s [`operator==`](../basic_json/operator_eq.md).
2. Compares a view and a `BasicJsonType` value for equality, in either order: whether the value `parse()` would
produce for the view and the other operand are equal, according to `BasicJsonType`'s
[`operator==`](../basic_json/operator_eq.md).
Neither overload builds a `BasicJsonType` value for a view to do the comparison (see [Notes](#notes) below). Numbers
compare by value across their types (`#!cpp 1 == 1.0`), and an object compares by its members, with duplicate keys
resolved exactly as `parse()` resolves them -- the last value, at the position of the first occurrence of the key.
## Parameters
`lhs` (in)
: first value to consider
`rhs` (in)
: second value to consider
## Return value
whether the values `lhs` and `rhs` are equal
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to either operand, or to the document(s) a
view refers to.
## Exceptions
May throw `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`. Unlike the other comparison and most other `basic_json_view` functions,
`operator==` is not `#!cpp noexcept`: resolving an object's members needs a temporary array to sort them by key (see
[Complexity](#complexity) below), and that allocation can fail.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the compared values: every number, string, array element, and object member is visited at most
once, and the walk is iterative, so the nesting depth it can compare is limited by available memory only, not by the
call stack (as for [`materialize()`](materialize.md)). Resolving an object's members takes an additional O(n log n)
in the number of members at that level, since they are sorted by key to detect and resolve duplicates before being
compared. Two arrays of different [`size()`](size.md) are rejected without visiting either one's elements.
## Notes
Only a single number, boolean, or `#!cpp null` value is ever materialized into a `BasicJsonType`, to reuse its
`operator==` -- for numbers, so that values written differently in the source text but equal in value (e.g. an
integer and a floating-point literal) still compare equal, following the same rules `BasicJsonType` does for special
values such as `#!cpp NaN`. Constructing one of these scalars never allocates. Strings are compared directly, without
allocating, either from the source text on both sides or, for overload 2, against `BasicJsonType`'s own string.
Arrays and objects are never materialized at all; only their elements or members are visited, one pair at a time.
!!! info "How objects are compared"
For a [`json_view`](../json_view.md) (`BasicJsonType::object_t` is `#!cpp std::map`), members are compared by
key, regardless of the order they appear in the source text. For an
[`ordered_json_view`](../ordered_json_view.md) (`object_t` is `ordered_map`), they are compared in the order
they occur, so the very same two objects with their members reordered can compare equal as `json_view`s but not
as `ordered_json_view`s. This is exactly how [`json`](../json.md) and [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md)
compare, see ["Comparing different `basic_json` specializations"](../basic_json/operator_eq.md#notes).
!!! info "Discarded views"
A [discarded](is_discarded.md) view compares the same way a discarded `BasicJsonType` value does, which is
governed by
[`JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON`](../macros/json_use_legacy_discarded_value_comparison.md): by
default, a discarded view is never equal to anything, not even another discarded view.
No ordering comparison (`#!cpp operator<`) is provided for `basic_json_view`; [`materialize()`](materialize.md) is
the way to get a `BasicJsonType` value that supports it.
## Examples
??? example
The example below checks whether a newly received configuration differs from the previous one, and whether a
received document matches what a test expects -- directly on views, without ever materializing a `BasicJsonType`
value for either side.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__operator_eq.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__operator_eq.output"

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>operator<<
```cpp
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& o, const basic_json_view& v);
```
Not available when [`JSON_NO_IO`](../macros/json_no_io.md) is defined.
Serializes the given view `v` to the output stream `o`, using [`dump`](dump.md) -- exactly as
`#!cpp operator<<(std::ostream&, const basic_json&)` does for a `basic_json` value.
- The indentation of the output can be controlled with the member variable `width` of the output stream `o`. For
instance, using the manipulator `std::setw(4)` on `o` sets the indentation level to `4`, and the serialization
result is the same as calling `#!cpp v.dump(4)`. A `width` of `0` or less (the default) selects the most compact
representation, as `#!cpp v.dump(-1)` does.
- The indentation character can be controlled with the member variable `fill` of the output stream `o`. For instance,
the manipulator `std::setfill('\t')` sets indentation to use a tab character rather than the default space
character.
- As for `basic_json`, `o`'s `width` is reset to `0` after this call, whether or not it was greater than `0` before.
Numbers are always written as `#!cpp v.dump()` writes them by default, i.e. as with
[`number_format::shortest`](number_format.md); there is no way to select `#!cpp number_format::source` through the
stream.
## Parameters
`o` (in, out)
: stream to write to
`v` (in)
: view to serialize
## Return value
the stream `o`
## Exceptions
May throw `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`, propagated from [`dump`](dump.md#exceptions). Unlike
`#!cpp operator<<(std::ostream&, const basic_json&)`, there is no UTF-8 decoding step that could throw
[`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316), and no `error_handler` to choose between --
see the [Exceptions](dump.md#exceptions) of `dump`.
## Complexity
Linear, as [`dump`](dump.md#complexity).
## Examples
??? example
The example below writes one record out of a larger batch straight to a log stream -- compact for a one-line
entry, and pretty-printed with `std::setw`/`std::setfill` for a readable dump -- without ever building a
`BasicJsonType` value for the record, or for the rest of the batch.
