Niels Lohmann 0adb7783a4 Add element access, iteration, values, and JSON pointers to json_view
Give basic_json_view the read-only access functions of basic_json:
operator[] and at() with keys and indices, front()/back(), find(),
contains(), count(), begin()/end() and cbegin()/cend(), items()
with structured bindings from C++17 on, and type_name().

Exceptions have the ids and messages of the const functions of
basic_json. Where basic_json has undefined behavior the view
answers safely: operator[] with a missing key or an out-of-range
index returns a discarded view, and front()/back() of an empty
container throw invalid_iterator.214. Objects are iterated in
document order, and all members are visited; duplicate-key lookups
find the first member (as yyjson and simdjson do), while parse(),
materialize(), and the map conversions keep the last value, as
parse() does. Keys of up to 16 bytes are compared with two
overlapping loads.

Add value conversions: get<T>()/get_to() for arithmetic types,
bool, nullptr_t, strings (std::basic_string copied,
string_view_t without a copy), BasicJsonType, views, std::vector,
and maps with string keys; get_string() for the string without a
copy; number_token() for the number exactly as written in the
source; value() with keys and JSON pointers; and operator[]/at()/
contains() with JSON pointers. Everything else, including types
with from_json(), goes through materialize() of that subtree.
get<T>() of arithmetic types is inlined down to the conversion, so
reading an integer needs no call.

detail::json_pointer_access exposes a pointer's reference tokens
to code outside basic_json.

nlohmann::basic_json_view::cend

iterator cend() const noexcept;

Returns an iterator to one past the last element, in document order. Equivalent to end(): a view is always read-only, so #!cpp const_iterator and #!cpp iterator are the same type, and cend() exists only so that generic code that expects a cbegin()/cend() pair works with a view too.

Return value

Iterator one past the last element; identical to what end() returns.

Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.

Complexity

Constant.

Examples

??? example

The example below checks that every record of a batch is an object with `std::all_of`, using
[`cbegin()`](cbegin.md)/`cend()` as the range -- the same way it would for any standard container -- before
materializing any record of the batch.

```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__cend.cpp"
```

Output:

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