+
+## Design goals
+
+There are myriads of [JSON](http://json.org) libraries out there, and each may even have its reason to exist. Our class had these design goals:
+
+- **Intuitive syntax**. In languages such as Python, JSON feels like a first class data type. We used all the operator magic of modern C++ to achieve the same feeling in your code. Check out the [examples below](#examples) and you know, what I mean.
+
+- **Trivial integration**. Our whole code consists of a single header file [`json.hpp`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/src/json.hpp). That's it. No library, no subproject, no dependencies, no complex build system. The class is written in vanilla C++11. All in all, everything should require no adjustment of your compiler flags or project settings.
+
+- **Serious testing**. Our class is heavily [unit-tested](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/master/test/src/unit.cpp) and covers [100%](https://coveralls.io/r/nlohmann/json) of the code, including all exceptional behavior. Furthermore, we checked with [Valgrind](http://valgrind.org) that there are no memory leaks.
+
+Other aspects were not so important to us:
+
+- **Memory efficiency**. Each JSON object has an overhead of one pointer (the maximal size of a union) and one enumeration element (1 byte). The default generalization uses the following C++ data types: `std::string` for strings, `int64_t`, `uint64_t` or `double` for numbers, `std::map` for objects, `std::vector` for arrays, and `bool` for Booleans. However, you can template the generalized class `basic_json` to your needs.
+
+- **Speed**. We currently implement the parser as naive [recursive descent parser](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_descent_parser) with hand coded string handling. It is fast enough, but a [LALR-parser](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LALR_parser) may be even faster (but would consist of more files which makes the integration harder).
+
+See the [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#please-dont) for more information.
+
+
+## Integration
+
+The single required source, file `json.hpp` is in the `src` directory or [released here](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases). All you need to do is add
+
+```cpp
+#include "json.hpp"
+
+// for convenience
+using json = nlohmann::json;
+```
+
+to the files you want to use JSON objects. That's it. Do not forget to set the necessary switches to enable C++11 (e.g., `-std=c++11` for GCC and Clang).
+
+:beer: If you are using OS X and [Homebrew](http://brew.sh), just type `brew tap nlohmann/json` and `brew install nlohmann_json` and you're set. If you want the bleeding edge rather than the latest release, use `brew install nlohmann_json --HEAD`.
+
+
+## Examples
+
+Here are some examples to give you an idea how to use the class.
+
+Assume you want to create the JSON object
+
+```json
+{
+ "pi": 3.141,
+ "happy": true,
+ "name": "Niels",
+ "nothing": null,
+ "answer": {
+ "everything": 42
+ },
+ "list": [1, 0, 2],
+ "object": {
+ "currency": "USD",
+ "value": 42.99
+ }
+}
+```
+
+With the JSON class, you could write:
+
+```cpp
+// create an empty structure (null)
+json j;
+
+// add a number that is stored as double (note the implicit conversion of j to an object)
+j["pi"] = 3.141;
+
+// add a Boolean that is stored as bool
+j["happy"] = true;
+
+// add a string that is stored as std::string
+j["name"] = "Niels";
+
+// add another null object by passing nullptr
+j["nothing"] = nullptr;
+
+// add an object inside the object
+j["answer"]["everything"] = 42;
+
+// add an array that is stored as std::vector (using an initializer list)
+j["list"] = { 1, 0, 2 };
+
+// add another object (using an initializer list of pairs)
+j["object"] = { {"currency", "USD"}, {"value", 42.99} };
+
+// instead, you could also write (which looks very similar to the JSON above)
+json j2 = {
+ {"pi", 3.141},
+ {"happy", true},
+ {"name", "Niels"},
+ {"nothing", nullptr},
+ {"answer", {
+ {"everything", 42}
+ }},
+ {"list", {1, 0, 2}},
+ {"object", {
+ {"currency", "USD"},
+ {"value", 42.99}
+ }}
+};
+```
+
+Note that in all these cases, you never need to "tell" the compiler which JSON value you want to use. If you want to be explicit or express some edge cases, the functions `json::array` and `json::object` will help:
+
+```cpp
+// a way to express the empty array []
+json empty_array_explicit = json::array();
+
+// ways to express the empty object {}
+json empty_object_implicit = json({});
+json empty_object_explicit = json::object();
+
+// a way to express an _array_ of key/value pairs [["currency", "USD"], ["value", 42.99]]
+json array_not_object = { json::array({"currency", "USD"}), json::array({"value", 42.99}) };
+```
+
+
+### Serialization / Deserialization
+
+You can create an object (deserialization) by appending `_json` to a string literal:
+
+```cpp
+// create object from string literal
+json j = "{ \"happy\": true, \"pi\": 3.141 }"_json;
+
+// or even nicer with a raw string literal
+auto j2 = R"(
+ {
+ "happy": true,
+ "pi": 3.141
+ }
+)"_json;
+
+// or explicitly
+auto j3 = json::parse("{ \"happy\": true, \"pi\": 3.141 }");
+```
+
+You can also get a string representation (serialize):
+
+```cpp
+// explicit conversion to string
+std::string s = j.dump(); // {\"happy\":true,\"pi\":3.141}
+
+// serialization with pretty printing
+// pass in the amount of spaces to indent
+std::cout << j.dump(4) << std::endl;
+// {
+// "happy": true,
+// "pi": 3.141
+// }
+```
+
+You can also use streams to serialize and deserialize:
+
+```cpp
+// deserialize from standard input
+json j;
+std::cin >> j;
+
+// serialize to standard output
+std::cout << j;
+
+// the setw manipulator was overloaded to set the indentation for pretty printing
+std::cout << std::setw(4) << j << std::endl;
+```
+
+These operators work for any subclasses of `std::istream` or `std::ostream`.
+
+Please note that setting the exception bit for `failbit` is inappropriate for this use case. It will result in program termination due to the `noexcept` specifier in use.
+
+
+### STL-like access
+
+We designed the JSON class to behave just like an STL container. In fact, it satisfies the [**ReversibleContainer**](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/ReversibleContainer) requirement.
+
+```cpp
+// create an array using push_back
+json j;
+j.push_back("foo");
+j.push_back(1);
+j.push_back(true);
+
+// iterate the array
+for (json::iterator it = j.begin(); it != j.end(); ++it) {
+ std::cout << *it << '\n';
+}
+
+// range-based for
+for (auto& element : j) {
+ std::cout << element << '\n';
+}
+
+// getter/setter
+const std::string tmp = j[0];
+j[1] = 42;
+bool foo = j.at(2);
+
+// other stuff
+j.size(); // 3 entries
+j.empty(); // false
+j.type(); // json::value_t::array
+j.clear(); // the array is empty again
+
+// convenience type checkers
+j.is_null();
+j.is_boolean();
+j.is_number();
+j.is_object();
+j.is_array();
+j.is_string();
+
+// comparison
+j == "[\"foo\", 1, true]"_json; // true
+
+// create an object
+json o;
+o["foo"] = 23;
+o["bar"] = false;
+o["baz"] = 3.141;
+
+// special iterator member functions for objects
+for (json::iterator it = o.begin(); it != o.end(); ++it) {
+ std::cout << it.key() << " : " << it.value() << "\n";
+}
+
+// find an entry
+if (o.find("foo") != o.end()) {
+ // there is an entry with key "foo"
+}
+
+// or simpler using count()
+int foo_present = o.count("foo"); // 1
+int fob_present = o.count("fob"); // 0
+
+// delete an entry
+o.erase("foo");
+```
+
+
+### Conversion from STL containers
+
+Any sequence container (`std::array`, `std::vector`, `std::deque`, `std::forward_list`, `std::list`) whose values can be used to construct JSON types (e.g., integers, floating point numbers, Booleans, string types, or again STL containers described in this section) can be used to create a JSON array. The same holds for similar associative containers (`std::set`, `std::multiset`, `std::unordered_set`, `std::unordered_multiset`), but in these cases the order of the elements of the array depends how the elements are ordered in the respective STL container.
+
+```cpp
+std::vector<int> c_vector {1, 2, 3, 4};
+json j_vec(c_vector);
+// [1, 2, 3, 4]
+
+std::deque<double> c_deque {1.2, 2.3, 3.4, 5.6};
+json j_deque(c_deque);
+// [1.2, 2.3, 3.4, 5.6]
+
+std::list<bool> c_list {true, true, false, true};
+json j_list(c_list);
+// [true, true, false, true]
+
+std::forward_list<int64_t> c_flist {12345678909876, 23456789098765, 34567890987654, 45678909876543};
+json j_flist(c_flist);
+// [12345678909876, 23456789098765, 34567890987654, 45678909876543]
+
+std::array<unsigned long, 4> c_array {{1, 2, 3, 4}};
+json j_array(c_array);
+// [1, 2, 3, 4]
+
+std::set<std::string> c_set {"one", "two", "three", "four", "one"};
+json j_set(c_set); // only one entry for "one" is used
+// ["four", "one", "three", "two"]
+
+std::unordered_set<std::string> c_uset {"one", "two", "three", "four", "one"};
+json j_uset(c_uset); // only one entry for "one" is used
+// maybe ["two", "three", "four", "one"]
+
+std::multiset<std::string> c_mset {"one", "two", "one", "four"};
+json j_mset(c_mset); // only one entry for "one" is used
+// maybe ["one", "two", "four"]
+
+std::unordered_multiset<std::string> c_umset {"one", "two", "one", "four"};
+json j_umset(c_umset); // both entries for "one" are used
+// maybe ["one", "two", "one", "four"]
+```
+
+Likewise, any associative key-value containers (`std::map`, `std::multimap`, `std::unordered_map`, `std::unordered_multimap`) whose keys can construct an `std::string` and whose values can be used to construct JSON types (see examples above) can be used to to create a JSON object. Note that in case of multimaps only one key is used in the JSON object and the value depends on the internal order of the STL container.
+
+```cpp
+std::map<std::string, int> c_map { {"one", 1}, {"two", 2}, {"three", 3} };
+json j_map(c_map);
+// {"one": 1, "three": 3, "two": 2 }
+
+std::unordered_map<const char*, double> c_umap { {"one", 1.2}, {"two", 2.3}, {"three", 3.4} };
+json j_umap(c_umap);
+// {"one": 1.2, "two": 2.3, "three": 3.4}
+
+std::multimap<std::string, bool> c_mmap { {"one", true}, {"two", true}, {"three", false}, {"three", true} };
+json j_mmap(c_mmap); // only one entry for key "three" is used
+// maybe {"one": true, "two": true, "three": true}
+
+std::unordered_multimap<std::string, bool> c_ummap { {"one", true}, {"two", true}, {"three", false}, {"three", true} };
+json j_ummap(c_ummap); // only one entry for key "three" is used
+// maybe {"one": true, "two": true, "three": true}
+```
+
+### JSON Pointer and JSON Patch
+
+The library supports **JSON Pointer** ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) as alternative means to address structured values. On top of this, **JSON Patch** ([RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902)) allows to describe differences between two JSON values - effectively allowing patch and diff operations known from Unix.
+
+```cpp
+// a JSON value
+json j_original = R"({
+ "baz": ["one", "two", "three"],
+ "foo": "bar"
+})"_json;
+
+// access members with a JSON pointer (RFC 6901)
+j_original["/baz/1"_json_pointer];
+// "two"
+
+// a JSON patch (RFC 6902)
+json j_patch = R"([
+ { "op": "replace", "path": "/baz", "value": "boo" },
+ { "op": "add", "path": "/hello", "value": ["world"] },
+ { "op": "remove", "path": "/foo"}
+])"_json;
+
+// apply the patch
+json j_result = j_original.patch(j_patch);
+// {
+// "baz": "boo",
+// "hello": ["world"]
+// }
+
+// calculate a JSON patch from two JSON values
+json::diff(j_result, j_original);
+// [
+// { "op":" replace", "path": "/baz", "value": ["one", "two", "three"] },
+// { "op": "remove","path": "/hello" },
+// { "op": "add", "path": "/foo", "value": "bar" }
+// ]
+```
+
+
+### Implicit conversions
+
+The type of the JSON object is determined automatically by the expression to store. Likewise, the stored value is implicitly converted.
+
+```cpp
+// strings
+std::string s1 = "Hello, world!";
+json js = s1;
+std::string s2 = js;
+
+// Booleans
+bool b1 = true;
+json jb = b1;
+bool b2 = jb;
+
+// numbers
+int i = 42;
+json jn = i;
+double f = jn;
+
+// etc.
+```
+
+You can also explicitly ask for the value:
+
+```cpp
+std::string vs = js.get<std::string>();
+bool vb = jb.get<bool>();
+int vi = jn.get<int>();
+
+// etc.
+```
+
+
+## Supported compilers
+
+Though it's 2016 already, the support for C++11 is still a bit sparse. Currently, the following compilers are known to work:
+
+- GCC 4.9 - 6.0 (and possibly later)
+- Clang 3.4 - 3.9 (and possibly later)
+- Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 / Build Tools 14.0.25123.0 (and possibly later)
+
+I would be happy to learn about other compilers/versions.
+
+Please note:
+
+- GCC 4.8 does not work because of two bugs ([55817](https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55817) and [57824](https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57824)) in the C++11 support. Note there is a [pull request](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/pull/212) to fix some of the issues.
+- Android defaults to using very old compilers and C++ libraries. To fix this, add the following to your `Application.mk`. This will switch to the LLVM C++ library, the Clang compiler, and enable C++11 and other features disabled by default.
+
+ ```
+ APP_STL := c++_shared
+ NDK_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION := clang3.6
+ APP_CPPFLAGS += -frtti -fexceptions
+ ```
+
+ The code compiles successfully with [Android NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk/index.html?hl=ml), Revision 9 - 11 (and possibly later) and [CrystaX's Android NDK](https://www.crystax.net/en/android/ndk) version 10.
+
+- For GCC running on MinGW or Android SDK, the error `'to_string' is not a member of 'std'` (or similarly, for `strtod`) may occur. Note this is not an issue with the code, but rather with the compiler itself. On Android, see above to build with a newer environment. For MinGW, please refer to [this site](http://tehsausage.com/mingw-to-string) and [this discussion](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/136) for information on how to fix this bug. For Android NDK using `APP_STL := gnustl_static`, please refer to [this discussion](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/219).
+
+The following compilers are currently used in continuous integration at [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/nlohmann/json) and [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nlohmann/json):

+
+## Notes
+
+- The code contains numerous debug **assertions** which can be switched off by defining the preprocessor macro `NDEBUG`, see the [documentation of `assert`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/assert).
+- As the exact type of a number is not defined in the [JSON specification](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159), this library tries to choose the best fitting C++ number type automatically. As a result, the type `double` may be used to store numbers which may yield [**floating-point exceptions**](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/181) in certain rare situations if floating-point exceptions have been unmasked in the calling code. These exceptions are not caused by the library and need to be fixed in the calling code, such as by re-masking the exceptions prior to calling library functions.
+
+
+## Execute unit tests
+
+To compile and run the tests, you need to execute
+
+```sh
+$ make
+$ ./json_unit "*"

+ @brief a type for an object
+
+ [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes JSON objects as follows:
+ > An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs,
+ > where a name is a string and a value is a string, number, boolean, null,
+ > object, or array.
+
+ To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameters
+ described below.
+
+ @tparam ObjectType the container to store objects (e.g., `std::map` or
+ `std::unordered_map`)
+ @tparam StringType the type of the keys or names (e.g., `std::string`).
+ The comparison function `std::less<StringType>` is used to order elements
+ inside the container.
+ @tparam AllocatorType the allocator to use for objects (e.g.,
+ `std::allocator`)
+
+ #### Default type
+
+ With the default values for @a ObjectType (`std::map`), @a StringType
+ (`std::string`), and @a AllocatorType (`std::allocator`), the default
+ value for @a object_t is:
+
+ @code {.cpp}
+ std::map<
+ std::string, // key_type
+ basic_json, // value_type
+ std::less<std::string>, // key_compare
+ std::allocator<std::pair<const std::string, basic_json>> // allocator_type
+ >
+ @endcode
+
+ #### Behavior
+
+ The choice of @a object_t influences the behavior of the JSON class. With
+ the default type, objects have the following behavior:
+
+ - When all names are unique, objects will be interoperable in the sense
+ that all software implementations receiving that object will agree on
+ the name-value mappings.
+ - When the names within an object are not unique, later stored name/value
+ pairs overwrite previously stored name/value pairs, leaving the used
+ names unique. For instance, `{"key": 1}` and `{"key": 2, "key": 1}` will
+ be treated as equal and both stored as `{"key": 1}`.
+ - Internally, name/value pairs are stored in lexicographical order of the
+ names. Objects will also be serialized (see @ref dump) in this order.
+ For instance, `{"b": 1, "a": 2}` and `{"a": 2, "b": 1}` will be stored
+ and serialized as `{"a": 2, "b": 1}`.
+ - When comparing objects, the order of the name/value pairs is irrelevant.
+ This makes objects interoperable in the sense that they will not be
+ affected by these differences. For instance, `{"b": 1, "a": 2}` and
+ `{"a": 2, "b": 1}` will be treated as equal.
+
+ #### Limits
+
+ [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
+ > An implementation may set limits on the maximum depth of nesting.
+
+ In this class, the object's limit of nesting is not constraint explicitly.
+ However, a maximum depth of nesting may be introduced by the compiler or
+ runtime environment. A theoretical limit can be queried by calling the
+ @ref max_size function of a JSON object.
+
+ #### Storage
+
+ Objects are stored as pointers in a @ref basic_json type. That is, for any
+ access to object values, a pointer of type `object_t*` must be
+ dereferenced.
+
+ @sa @ref array_t -- type for an array value
+
+ @since version 1.0.0
+
+ @note The order name/value pairs are added to the object is *not*
+ preserved by the library. Therefore, iterating an object may return
+ name/value pairs in a different order than they were originally stored. In
+ fact, keys will be traversed in alphabetical order as `std::map` with
+ `std::less` is used by default. Please note this behavior conforms to [RFC
+ 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159), because any order implements the
+ specified "unordered" nature of JSON objects.

+
+ [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes numbers as follows:
+ > The representation of numbers is similar to that used in most
+ > programming languages. A number is represented in base 10 using decimal
+ > digits. It contains an integer component that may be prefixed with an
+ > optional minus sign, which may be followed by a fraction part and/or an
+ > exponent part. Leading zeros are not allowed. (...) Numeric values that
+ > cannot be represented in the grammar below (such as Infinity and NaN)
+ > are not permitted.
+
+ This description includes both integer and floating-point numbers.
+ However, C++ allows more precise storage if it is known whether the number
+ is a signed integer, an unsigned integer or a floating-point number.
+ Therefore, three different types, @ref number_integer_t, @ref
+ number_unsigned_t and @ref number_float_t are used.
+
+ To store integer numbers in C++, a type is defined by the template
+ parameter @a NumberIntegerType which chooses the type to use.
+
+ #### Default type
+
+ With the default values for @a NumberIntegerType (`int64_t`), the default
+ value for @a number_integer_t is:
+
+ @code {.cpp}
+ int64_t
+ @endcode
+
+ #### Default behavior
+
+ - The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead,
+ leading zeros in integer literals lead to an interpretation as octal
+ number. Internally, the value will be stored as decimal number. For
+ instance, the C++ integer literal `010` will be serialized to `8`.
+ During deserialization, leading zeros yield an error.
+ - Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to `null`.
+
+ #### Limits
+
+ [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
+ > An implementation may set limits on the range and precision of numbers.
+
+ When the default type is used, the maximal integer number that can be
+ stored is `9223372036854775807` (INT64_MAX) and the minimal integer number
+ that can be stored is `-9223372036854775808` (INT64_MIN). Integer numbers
+ that are out of range will yield over/underflow when used in a
+ constructor. During deserialization, too large or small integer numbers
+ will be automatically be stored as @ref number_unsigned_t or @ref
+ number_float_t.
+
+ [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) further states:
+ > Note that when such software is used, numbers that are integers and are
+ > in the range \f$[-2^{53}+1, 2^{53}-1]\f$ are interoperable in the sense
+ > that implementations will agree exactly on their numeric values.
+
+ As this range is a subrange of the exactly supported range [INT64_MIN,
+ INT64_MAX], this class's integer type is interoperable.
+
+ #### Storage
+
+ Integer number values are stored directly inside a @ref basic_json type.

+ > programming languages. A number is represented in base 10 using decimal
+ > digits. It contains an integer component that may be prefixed with an
+ > optional minus sign, which may be followed by a fraction part and/or an
+ > exponent part. Leading zeros are not allowed. (...) Numeric values that
+ > cannot be represented in the grammar below (such as Infinity and NaN)
+ > are not permitted.
+
+ This description includes both integer and floating-point numbers.
+ However, C++ allows more precise storage if it is known whether the number
+ is a signed integer, an unsigned integer or a floating-point number.
+ Therefore, three different types, @ref number_integer_t, @ref
+ number_unsigned_t and @ref number_float_t are used.
+
+ To store unsigned integer numbers in C++, a type is defined by the
+ template parameter @a NumberUnsignedType which chooses the type to use.
+
+ #### Default type
+
+ With the default values for @a NumberUnsignedType (`uint64_t`), the
+ default value for @a number_unsigned_t is:
+
+ @code {.cpp}
+ uint64_t
+ @endcode
+
+ #### Default behavior
+
+ - The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead,
+ leading zeros in integer literals lead to an interpretation as octal
+ number. Internally, the value will be stored as decimal number. For
+ instance, the C++ integer literal `010` will be serialized to `8`.
+ During deserialization, leading zeros yield an error.
+ - Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to `null`.
+
+ #### Limits
+
+ [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
+ > An implementation may set limits on the range and precision of numbers.
+
+ When the default type is used, the maximal integer number that can be
+ stored is `18446744073709551615` (UINT64_MAX) and the minimal integer
+ number that can be stored is `0`. Integer numbers that are out of range
+ will yield over/underflow when used in a constructor. During
+ deserialization, too large or small integer numbers will be automatically
+ be stored as @ref number_integer_t or @ref number_float_t.
+
+ [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) further states:
+ > Note that when such software is used, numbers that are integers and are
+ > in the range \f$[-2^{53}+1, 2^{53}-1]\f$ are interoperable in the sense
+ > that implementations will agree exactly on their numeric values.
+
+ As this range is a subrange (when considered in conjunction with the
+ number_integer_t type) of the exactly supported range [0, UINT64_MAX],
+ this class's integer type is interoperable.
+
+ #### Storage
+
+ Integer number values are stored directly inside a @ref basic_json type.
+
+ @sa @ref number_float_t -- type for number values (floating-point)
+ @sa @ref number_integer_t -- type for number values (integer)

+
+ This implementation does exactly follow this approach, as it uses double
+ precision floating-point numbers. Note values smaller than
+ `-1.79769313486232e+308` and values greater than `1.79769313486232e+308`

+ @a event) with a set recursion depth @a depth and context JSON value
+ @a parsed. The return value of the callback function is a boolean
+ indicating whether the element that emitted the callback shall be kept or
+ not.
+
+ We distinguish six scenarios (determined by the event type) in which the
+ callback function can be called. The following table describes the values
+ of the parameters @a depth, @a event, and @a parsed.
+
+ parameter @a event | description | parameter @a depth | parameter @a parsed
+ ------------------ | ----------- | ------------------ | -------------------

+ parse_event_t::key | the parser read a key of a value in an object | depth of the currently parsed JSON object | a JSON string containing the key
+ parse_event_t::object_end | the parser read `}` and finished processing a JSON object | depth of the parent of the JSON object | the parsed JSON object
+ parse_event_t::array_start | the parser read `[` and started to process a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | a JSON value with type discarded
+ parse_event_t::array_end | the parser read `]` and finished processing a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | the parsed JSON array

+
+ - Discarded values in structured types are skipped. That is, the parser
+ will behave as if the discarded value was never read.
+ - In case a value outside a structured type is skipped, it is replaced
+ with `null`. This case happens if the top-level element is skipped.

+ @brief create a container (array or object) from an initializer list
+
+ Creates a JSON value of type array or object from the passed initializer
+ list @a init. In case @a type_deduction is `true` (default), the type of
+ the JSON value to be created is deducted from the initializer list @a init
+ according to the following rules:
+
+ 1. If the list is empty, an empty JSON object value `{}` is created.
+ 2. If the list consists of pairs whose first element is a string, a JSON
+ object value is created where the first elements of the pairs are
+ treated as keys and the second elements are as values.
+ 3. In all other cases, an array is created.
+
+ The rules aim to create the best fit between a C++ initializer list and
+ JSON values. The rationale is as follows:
+
+ 1. The empty initializer list is written as `{}` which is exactly an empty
+ JSON object.
+ 2. C++ has now way of describing mapped types other than to list a list of
+ pairs. As JSON requires that keys must be of type string, rule 2 is the
+ weakest constraint one can pose on initializer lists to interpret them
+ as an object.
+ 3. In all other cases, the initializer list could not be interpreted as
+ JSON object type, so interpreting it as JSON array type is safe.
+
+ With the rules described above, the following JSON values cannot be
+ expressed by an initializer list:
+
+ - the empty array (`[]`): use @ref array(std::initializer_list<basic_json>)
+ with an empty initializer list in this case
+ - arrays whose elements satisfy rule 2: use @ref
+ array(std::initializer_list<basic_json>) with the same initializer list
+ in this case
+
+ @note When used without parentheses around an empty initializer list, @ref
+ basic_json() is called instead of this function, yielding the JSON null
+ value.
+
+ @param[in] init initializer list with JSON values
+
+ @param[in] type_deduction internal parameter; when set to `true`, the type
+ of the JSON value is deducted from the initializer list @a init; when set
+ to `false`, the type provided via @a manual_type is forced. This mode is
+ used by the functions @ref array(std::initializer_list<basic_json>) and
+ @ref object(std::initializer_list<basic_json>).
+
+ @param[in] manual_type internal parameter; when @a type_deduction is set
+ to `false`, the created JSON value will use the provided type (only @ref
+ value_t::array and @ref value_t::object are valid); when @a type_deduction
+ is set to `true`, this parameter has no effect

+ @brief return string value for string tokens
+
+ The function iterates the characters between the opening and closing
+ quotes of the string value. The complete string is the range
+ [m_start,m_cursor). Consequently, we iterate from m_start+1 to
+ m_cursor-1.
+
+ We differentiate two cases:
+
+ 1. Escaped characters. In this case, a new character is constructed
+ according to the nature of the escape. Some escapes create new
+ characters (e.g., `"\\n"` is replaced by `"\n"`), some are copied
+ as is (e.g., `"\\\\"`). Furthermore, Unicode escapes of the shape
+ `"\\uxxxx"` need special care. In this case, to_unicode takes care
+ of the construction of the values.
+ 2. Unescaped characters are copied as is.
+
+ @pre `m_cursor - m_start >= 2`, meaning the length of the last token
+ is at least 2 bytes which is trivially true for any string (which
+ consists of at least two quotes).

+
+ Lemma: The loop body will always terminate.\n
+
+ Proof (by contradiction): Assume the loop body does not terminate. As
+ the loop body does not contain another loop, one of the called
+ functions must never return. The called functions are `std::strtoul`
+ and to_unicode. Neither function can loop forever, so the loop body
+ will never loop forever which contradicts the assumption that the loop
+ body does not terminate, q.e.d.\n
+
+ Lemma: The loop condition for the for loop is eventually false.\n
+
+ Proof (by contradiction): Assume the loop does not terminate. Due to
+ the above lemma, this can only be due to a tautological loop
+ condition; that is, the loop condition i < m_cursor - 1 must always be
+ true. Let x be the change of i for any loop iteration. Then
+ m_start + 1 + x < m_cursor - 1 must hold to loop indefinitely. This
+ can be rephrased to m_cursor - m_start - 2 > x. With the
+ precondition, we x <= 0, meaning that the loop condition holds
+ indefinitly if i is always decreased. However, observe that the value
+ of i is strictly increasing with each iteration, as it is incremented
+ by 1 in the iteration expression and never decremented inside the loop
+ body. Hence, the loop condition will eventually be false which
+ contradicts the assumption that the loop condition is a tautology,
+ q.e.d.
