- API pages for basic_json_document and basic_json_view, one per member, and for the four aliases, each with an example - features/json_view.md: the problem the view solves, ownership and lifetime, what matches basic_json::parse() and what differs, and when to choose json, ordered_json, SAX, or the view - the examples show why one would use the view, not only how: borrowed vs. owned input, reading a few fields and materializing one subtree, reusing a document across many messages - registered in the mkdocs navigation, llms.txt, the docset, the exceptions page (out_of_range.416), architecture.md, the integration page, and the README; the yyjson credit is added to the README and license.md Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

nlohmann::basic_json_document::source
view_type::string_view_t source() const noexcept;
Returns the parsed text, whether it is borrowed from the caller or owned by the document.
Return value
A #!cpp string_view_t (#!cpp std::string_view on C++17 and newer) over the parsed text, or an empty one if the
document is discarded.
Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
Complexity
Constant.
Notes
For a borrowed document, source() points directly into the caller's buffer, so it is only valid while that buffer
is; see owns_source.
Examples
??? example
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__source.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__source.output"
```
