* docs: new design for the documentation site Apply the brand to the Material for MkDocs site: Inter and JetBrains Mono served by the site (upright and real italic), brand colours, blue header band with the syntax pattern, wordmark in the header, new home page (hero, cards, animated feature tour), 404 page, polish for tabs, search, footer, focus rings, tables and code blocks, and theme features (code copy, previous/next footer, TOC follow, search suggestions). Draw the number railroad diagram, the parser callback events and the iterator illustrations as inline SVGs that follow the light and dark scheme. The generator scripts are in docs/mkdocs/scripts/figures; the feature slideshow (json-light.svg, json-dark.svg, replacing json.gif on the home page) is built by docs/mkdocs/scripts/slideshow. Decision nodes in five flowcharts become hexagons, which need far less room. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: add figures, table captions and a macro chooser - Figures with numbered captions: SAX stepper, json_view layout and edit stepper, exception map, JSON pointer and patch walkers, QA pipeline, scaling and binary size charts, roadmap lanes, release timeline, integration decision tree and namespace builder - Table captions (nj-table-caption) on 9 pages - Compile times: modules and PCH charts, filesystem section, re-measured Figure 1, links between features/modules.md and compile_times.md - Interactive macro chooser for features/arbitrary_types.md - Link check: exclude URLs that answer the plugin with 400/401/419 or are dead (customers.md) Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: macro chooser generates adl_serializer for non-default-constructible types Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: cross-link concept pages and API pages in See also sections Add See also links in both directions between the concept pages (features, home, integration) and the API pages, write API links in code font, give every entry a comment after a dash, and show the callback event figure on the parser callbacks page. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * docs: address review comments on the new design - Home: add a "Latest release" button - Sponsors: update the list and group it by tier - Features: list all feature pages on the index page - Releases: add highlights per release, link the 4.0 roadmap, add the first commit to the timeline - Exceptions: prefix all example messages with the exception name - API: no code font for format names in the See also links of the to_/from_ pages - Merge Patch: show the document before, the patch, and the result - Replace "--" with typographic dashes, mark external links with an icon, center Mermaid diagrams Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> --------- Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

nlohmann::basic_json_view::find
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). If the value is not an object, or no member has this key,
end() 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() 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, 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 of their keys while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes
constant time on average.
Notes
!!! warning "Duplicate keys: the first member wins"
If the source text repeats a key, this resolves to the *first* member with it, not to the last one that
[`materialize()`](materialize.md) and `parse()` keep. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of
`operator[]` and [Duplicate keys](../../features/json_view.md#duplicate-keys) for the reasons and for how to get
the last value.
Unlike BasicJsonType::find, which always returns #!cpp end() for a non-object type, this
also does so for a discarded 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.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__find.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__find.output"
```
