Niels Lohmann 289d61ef4f Merge branch 'develop' into docs/review-fixes
Conflicts:
- include/nlohmann/json.hpp: took develop's removal of the UDLs (moved to json_literals.hpp, which already has the corrected @sa links)
- single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp: regenerated with make amalgamate
- docs/mkdocs/docs/api/operator_literal_json.md, operator_literal_json_pointer.md: kept the PR's migration guide link and develop's json_literals.hpp/JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS note
- docs/mkdocs/docs/api/basic_json/to_bson.md: both sides added out_of_range.415; kept develop's example message and both version history lines
- docs/docset/docSet.sql: added JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS (new on develop), which the PR's check_structure.py requires

nlohmann::operator""_json

json operator ""_json(const char* s, std::size_t n);
json operator ""_json(const char8_t* s, std::size_t n);  // since C++20

This operator implements a user-defined string literal for JSON objects. It can be used by adding #!cpp _json to a string literal and returns a json object if no parse error occurred.

It is recommended to bring the operator into scope using any of the following lines:

using nlohmann::literals::operator ""_json;
using namespace nlohmann::literals;
using namespace nlohmann::json_literals;
using namespace nlohmann::literals::json_literals;
using namespace nlohmann;

This is suggested to ease migration to the next major version release of the library. See JSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS and the migration guide for details. The operator is declared in header <nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>, which <nlohmann/json.hpp> includes unless JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS is defined.

Parameters

s (in)
a string representation of a JSON object
n (in)
length of string s

Return value

json value parsed from s

Exceptions

The function can throw anything that parse(s, s+n) would throw.

Complexity

Linear.

Examples

??? example

The following code shows how to create JSON values from string literals.
 
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/operator_literal_json.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/operator_literal_json.output"
```
