+
+@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
+- Basic
+ - [DefaultConstructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/DefaultConstructible):
+ JSON values can be default constructed. The result will be a JSON null value.
+ - [MoveConstructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/MoveConstructible):
+ A JSON value can be constructed from an rvalue argument.
+ - [CopyConstructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/CopyConstructible):
+ A JSON value can be copy-constructed from an lvalue expression.
+ - [MoveAssignable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/MoveAssignable):
+ A JSON value van be assigned from an rvalue argument.
+ - [CopyAssignable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/CopyAssignable):
+ A JSON value can be copy-assigned from an lvalue expression.
+ - [Destructible](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Destructible):
+ JSON values can be destructed.
+- Layout
+ - [StandardLayoutType](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/StandardLayoutType):
+ JSON values have
+ [standard layout](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/data_members#Standard_layout):
+ All non-static data members are private and standard layout types, the class
+ has no virtual functions or (virtual) base classes.
+- Library-wide
+ - [EqualityComparable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/EqualityComparable):
+ JSON values can be compared with `==`, see @ref
+ operator==(const_reference,const_reference).
+ - [LessThanComparable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/LessThanComparable):
+ JSON values can be compared with `<`, see @ref
+ operator<(const_reference,const_reference).
+ - [Swappable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Swappable):
+ Any JSON lvalue or rvalue of can be swapped with any lvalue or rvalue of
+ other compatible types, using unqualified function call @ref swap().
+ - [NullablePointer](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/NullablePointer):
+ JSON values can be compared against `std::nullptr_t` objects which are used
+ to model the `null` value.
+- Container
+ - [Container](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Container):
+ JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide iterator access.
+ - [ReversibleContainer](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/ReversibleContainer);
+ JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide reverse iterator
+ access.
+
+@invariant The member variables @a m_value and @a m_type have the following
+relationship:
+- If `m_type == value_t::object`, then `m_value.object != nullptr`.
+- If `m_type == value_t::array`, then `m_value.array != nullptr`.
+- If `m_type == value_t::string`, then `m_value.string != nullptr`.
+The invariants are checked by member function assert_invariant().

+ @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.

+
+ This description includes both integer and floating-point numbers.

+ 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.

+ 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

+
+ As this range is a subrange of the exactly supported range [INT64_MIN,

+ 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:

+ > 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.
+

+ @brief a type for a number (floating-point)
+
+ [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 floating-point numbers in C++, a type is defined by the template
+ parameter @a NumberFloatType which chooses the type to use.
+
+ #### Default type
+
+ With the default values for @a NumberFloatType (`double`), the default
+ value for @a number_float_t is:
+
+ @code {.cpp}
+ double
+ @endcode
+
+ #### Default behavior
+
+ - The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead,
+ leading zeros in floating-point literals will be ignored. Internally,
+ the value will be stored as decimal number. For instance, the C++
+ floating-point literal `01.2` will be serialized to `1.2`. During
+ deserialization, leading zeros yield an error.
+ - Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to `null`.
+
+ #### Limits
+
+ [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) states:
+ > This specification allows implementations to set limits on the range and
+ > precision of numbers accepted. Since software that implements IEEE
+ > 754-2008 binary64 (double precision) numbers is generally available and
+ > widely used, good interoperability can be achieved by implementations
+ > that expect no more precision or range than these provide, in the sense
+ > that implementations will approximate JSON numbers within the expected
+ > precision.
+
+ 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`
+ will be stored as NaN internally and be serialized to `null`.
+
+ #### Storage
+
+ Floating-point number values are stored directly inside a @ref basic_json
+ type.

+ @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
+
+ @throw std::domain_error if @a type_deduction is `false`, @a manual_type

+
+ The function iterates the characters between the opening and closing

+ 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.

+ 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.
