-/*!
-@brief exception indicating a parse error
-
-This exception is thrown by the library when a parse error occurs. Parse errors
-can occur during the deserialization of JSON text, CBOR, MessagePack, as well
-as when using JSON Patch.
-
-Member @a byte holds the byte index of the last read character in the input
-file.
-
-Exceptions have ids 1xx.
-
-name / id                      | example message | description
------------------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------
-json.exception.parse_error.101 | parse error at 2: unexpected end of input; expected string literal | This error indicates a syntax error while deserializing a JSON text. The error message describes that an unexpected token (character) was encountered, and the member @a byte indicates the error position.
-json.exception.parse_error.102 | parse error at 14: missing or wrong low surrogate | JSON uses the `\uxxxx` format to describe Unicode characters. Code points above above 0xFFFF are split into two `\uxxxx` entries ("surrogate pairs"). This error indicates that the surrogate pair is incomplete or contains an invalid code point.
-json.exception.parse_error.103 | parse error: code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid | Unicode supports code points up to 0x10FFFF. Code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid.
-json.exception.parse_error.104 | parse error: JSON patch must be an array of objects | [RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902) requires a JSON Patch document to be a JSON document that represents an array of objects.
-json.exception.parse_error.105 | parse error: operation must have string member 'op' | An operation of a JSON Patch document must contain exactly one "op" member, whose value indicates the operation to perform. Its value must be one of "add", "remove", "replace", "move", "copy", or "test"; other values are errors.
-json.exception.parse_error.106 | parse error: array index '01' must not begin with '0' | An array index in a JSON Pointer ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) may be `0` or any number without a leading `0`.
-json.exception.parse_error.107 | parse error: JSON pointer must be empty or begin with '/' - was: 'foo' | A JSON Pointer must be a Unicode string containing a sequence of zero or more reference tokens, each prefixed by a `/` character.
-json.exception.parse_error.108 | parse error: escape character '~' must be followed with '0' or '1' | In a JSON Pointer, only `~0` and `~1` are valid escape sequences.
-json.exception.parse_error.109 | parse error: array index 'one' is not a number | A JSON Pointer array index must be a number.
-json.exception.parse_error.110 | parse error at 1: cannot read 2 bytes from vector | When parsing CBOR or MessagePack, the byte vector ends before the complete value has been read.
-json.exception.parse_error.112 | parse error at 1: error reading CBOR; last byte: 0xF8 | Not all types of CBOR or MessagePack are supported. This exception occurs if an unsupported byte was read.
-json.exception.parse_error.113 | parse error at 2: expected a CBOR string; last byte: 0x98 | While parsing a map key, a value that is not a string has been read.
-json.exception.parse_error.114 | parse error: Unsupported BSON record type 0x0F | The parsing of the corresponding BSON record type is not implemented (yet).
-
-@note For an input with n bytes, 1 is the index of the first character and n+1
-      is the index of the terminating null byte or the end of file. This also
-      holds true when reading a byte vector (CBOR or MessagePack).

------------------------------------ | --------------- | -------------------------
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.201 | iterators are not compatible | The iterators passed to constructor @ref basic_json(InputIT first, InputIT last) are not compatible, meaning they do not belong to the same container. Therefore, the range (@a first, @a last) is invalid.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.202 | iterator does not fit current value | In an erase or insert function, the passed iterator @a pos does not belong to the JSON value for which the function was called. It hence does not define a valid position for the deletion/insertion.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.203 | iterators do not fit current value | Either iterator passed to function @ref erase(IteratorType first, IteratorType last) does not belong to the JSON value from which values shall be erased. It hence does not define a valid range to delete values from.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.204 | iterators out of range | When an iterator range for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to a constructor or an erase function, this range has to be exactly (@ref begin(), @ref end()), because this is the only way the single stored value is expressed. All other ranges are invalid.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.205 | iterator out of range | When an iterator for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to an erase function, the iterator has to be the @ref begin() iterator, because it is the only way to address the stored value. All other iterators are invalid.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.206 | cannot construct with iterators from null | The iterators passed to constructor @ref basic_json(InputIT first, InputIT last) belong to a JSON null value and hence to not define a valid range.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.207 | cannot use key() for non-object iterators | The key() member function can only be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because other types do not have a concept of a key.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.208 | cannot use operator[] for object iterators | The operator[] to specify a concrete offset cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.209 | cannot use offsets with object iterators | The offset operators (+, -, +=, -=) cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.210 | iterators do not fit | The iterator range passed to the insert function are not compatible, meaning they do not belong to the same container. Therefore, the range (@a first, @a last) is invalid.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.211 | passed iterators may not belong to container | The iterator range passed to the insert function must not be a subrange of the container to insert to.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.212 | cannot compare iterators of different containers | When two iterators are compared, they must belong to the same container.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.213 | cannot compare order of object iterators | The order of object iterators cannot be compared, because JSON objects are unordered.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.214 | cannot get value | Cannot get value for iterator: Either the iterator belongs to a null value or it is an iterator to a primitive type (number, boolean, or string), but the iterator is different to @ref begin().

------------------------------ | --------------- | -------------------------
-json.exception.type_error.301 | cannot create object from initializer list | To create an object from an initializer list, the initializer list must consist only of a list of pairs whose first element is a string. When this constraint is violated, an array is created instead.
-json.exception.type_error.302 | type must be object, but is array | During implicit or explicit value conversion, the JSON type must be compatible to the target type. For instance, a JSON string can only be converted into string types, but not into numbers or boolean types.
-json.exception.type_error.303 | incompatible ReferenceType for get_ref, actual type is object | To retrieve a reference to a value stored in a @ref basic_json object with @ref get_ref, the type of the reference must match the value type. For instance, for a JSON array, the @a ReferenceType must be @ref array_t&.
-json.exception.type_error.304 | cannot use at() with string | The @ref at() member functions can only be executed for certain JSON types.
-json.exception.type_error.305 | cannot use operator[] with string | The @ref operator[] member functions can only be executed for certain JSON types.

-json.exception.type_error.311 | cannot use emplace_back() with string | The @ref emplace_back() member function can only be executed for certain JSON types.
-json.exception.type_error.312 | cannot use update() with string | The @ref update() member functions can only be executed for certain JSON types.
-json.exception.type_error.313 | invalid value to unflatten | The @ref unflatten function converts an object whose keys are JSON Pointers back into an arbitrary nested JSON value. The JSON Pointers must not overlap, because then the resulting value would not be well defined.
-json.exception.type_error.314 | only objects can be unflattened | The @ref unflatten function only works for an object whose keys are JSON Pointers.
-json.exception.type_error.315 | values in object must be primitive | The @ref unflatten function only works for an object whose keys are JSON Pointers and whose values are primitive.
-json.exception.type_error.316 | invalid UTF-8 byte at index 10: 0x7E | The @ref dump function only works with UTF-8 encoded strings; that is, if you assign a `std::string` to a JSON value, make sure it is UTF-8 encoded. |
-json.exception.type_error.317 | JSON value cannot be serialized to requested format | The dynamic type of the object cannot be represented in the requested serialization format (e.g. a raw `true` or `null` JSON object cannot be serialized to BSON) |

-@brief exception indicating access out of the defined range

-json.exception.out_of_range.402 | array index '-' (3) is out of range | The special array index `-` in a JSON Pointer never describes a valid element of the array, but the index past the end. That is, it can only be used to add elements at this position, but not to read it.
-json.exception.out_of_range.403 | key 'foo' not found | The provided key was not found in the JSON object.
-json.exception.out_of_range.404 | unresolved reference token 'foo' | A reference token in a JSON Pointer could not be resolved.
-json.exception.out_of_range.405 | JSON pointer has no parent | The JSON Patch operations 'remove' and 'add' can not be applied to the root element of the JSON value.
-json.exception.out_of_range.406 | number overflow parsing '10E1000' | A parsed number could not be stored as without changing it to NaN or INF.
-json.exception.out_of_range.407 | number overflow serializing '9223372036854775808' | UBJSON and BSON only support integer numbers up to 9223372036854775807. |
-json.exception.out_of_range.408 | excessive array size: 8658170730974374167 | The size (following `#`) of an UBJSON array or object exceeds the maximal capacity. |
-json.exception.out_of_range.409 | BSON key cannot contain code point U+0000 (at byte 2) | Key identifiers to be serialized to BSON cannot contain code point U+0000, since the key is stored as zero-terminated c-string |

-@note There are three enumeration entries (number_integer, number_unsigned, and
-number_float), because the library distinguishes these three types for numbers:
-@ref basic_json::number_unsigned_t is used for unsigned integers,
-@ref basic_json::number_integer_t is used for signed integers, and
-@ref basic_json::number_float_t is used for floating-point numbers or to
-approximate integers which do not fit in the limits of their respective type.

+@brief the JSON type enumeration
+
+This enumeration collects the different JSON types. It is internally used to
+distinguish the stored values, and the functions @ref basic_json::is_null(),
+@ref basic_json::is_object(), @ref basic_json::is_array(),
+@ref basic_json::is_string(), @ref basic_json::is_boolean(),
+@ref basic_json::is_number() (with @ref basic_json::is_number_integer(),
+@ref basic_json::is_number_unsigned(), and @ref basic_json::is_number_float()),
+@ref basic_json::is_discarded(), @ref basic_json::is_primitive(), and
+@ref basic_json::is_structured() rely on it.
+
+@note There are three enumeration entries (number_integer, number_unsigned, and
+number_float), because the library distinguishes these three types for numbers:
+@ref basic_json::number_unsigned_t is used for unsigned integers,
+@ref basic_json::number_integer_t is used for signed integers, and
+@ref basic_json::number_float_t is used for floating-point numbers or to
+approximate integers which do not fit in the limits of their respective type.
+
+@sa see @ref basic_json::basic_json(const value_t value_type) -- create a JSON
+value with the default value for a given type

-    The function is realized with a deterministic finite state machine derived
-    from the grammar described in RFC 7159. Starting in state "init", the
-    input is read and used to determined the next state. Only state "done"
-    accepts the number. State "error" is a trap state to model errors. In the
-    table below, "anything" means any character but the ones listed before.

+    contains cycles, but any cycle can be left when EOF is read. Therefore,
+    the function is guaranteed to terminate.
+
+    During scanning, the read bytes are stored in token_buffer. This string is
+    then converted to a signed integer, an unsigned integer, or a
+    floating-point number.

-@brief a template for a bidirectional iterator for the @ref basic_json class
-This class implements a both iterators (iterator and const_iterator) for the
-@ref basic_json class.
-@note An iterator is called *initialized* when a pointer to a JSON value has
-      been set (e.g., by a constructor or a copy assignment). If the iterator is
-      default-constructed, it is *uninitialized* and most methods are undefined.
-      **The library uses assertions to detect calls on uninitialized iterators.**
-@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
--
-[BidirectionalIterator](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/BidirectionalIterator):
-  The iterator that can be moved can be moved in both directions (i.e.
-  incremented and decremented).
-@since version 1.0.0, simplified in version 2.0.9, change to bidirectional
-       iterators in version 3.0.0 (see https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/593)

+This class models an iterator for primitive JSON types (boolean, number,

+a `difference_type` variable. Value begin_value (`0`) models the begin,
+end_value (`1`) models past the end.

-@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
-- Basic
- - [DefaultConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible):
-   JSON values can be default constructed. The result will be a JSON null
-   value.
- - [MoveConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/MoveConstructible):
-   A JSON value can be constructed from an rvalue argument.
- - [CopyConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyConstructible):
-   A JSON value can be copy-constructed from an lvalue expression.
- - [MoveAssignable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/MoveAssignable):
-   A JSON value van be assigned from an rvalue argument.
- - [CopyAssignable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyAssignable):
-   A JSON value can be copy-assigned from an lvalue expression.
- - [Destructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Destructible):
-   JSON values can be destructed.
-- Layout
- - [StandardLayoutType](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/StandardLayoutType):
-   JSON values have
-   [standard layout](https://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](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/EqualityComparable):
-   JSON values can be compared with `==`, see @ref
-   operator==(const_reference,const_reference).
- - [LessThanComparable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/LessThanComparable):
-   JSON values can be compared with `<`, see @ref
-   operator<(const_reference,const_reference).
- - [Swappable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/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](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/NullablePointer):
-   JSON values can be compared against `std::nullptr_t` objects which are used
-   to model the `null` value.
-- Container
- - [Container](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Container):
-   JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide iterator access.
- - [ReversibleContainer](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/ReversibleContainer);
-   JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide reverse iterator
-   access.

-    @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, it is unspecified which
-      one of the values for a given key will be chosen. For instance,
-      `{"key": 2, "key": 1}` could be equal to either `{"key": 1}` or
-      `{"key": 2}`.
-    - 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 explicitly constrained.
-    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.

-

-
-    In this class, the array's limit of nesting is not explicitly constrained.
-    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 array.
-
-    #### Storage
-
-    Arrays are stored as pointers in a @ref basic_json type. That is, for any
-    access to array values, a pointer of type `array_t*` must be dereferenced.
-
-    @sa @ref object_t -- type for an object value

-    @brief a type for a string
-
-    [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes JSON strings as follows:
-    > A string is a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters.
-
-    To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameter
-    described below. Unicode values are split by the JSON class into
-    byte-sized characters during deserialization.
-
-    @tparam StringType  the container to store strings (e.g., `std::string`).
-    Note this container is used for keys/names in objects, see @ref object_t.
-
-    #### Default type
-
-    With the default values for @a StringType (`std::string`), the default
-    value for @a string_t is:
-
-    @code {.cpp}
-    std::string
-    @endcode
-
-    #### Encoding
-
-    Strings are stored in UTF-8 encoding. Therefore, functions like
-    `std::string::size()` or `std::string::length()` return the number of
-    bytes in the string rather than the number of characters or glyphs.
-
-    #### String comparison
-
-    [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) states:
-    > Software implementations are typically required to test names of object
-    > members for equality. Implementations that transform the textual
-    > representation into sequences of Unicode code units and then perform the
-    > comparison numerically, code unit by code unit, are interoperable in the
-    > sense that implementations will agree in all cases on equality or
-    > inequality of two strings. For example, implementations that compare
-    > strings with escaped characters unconverted may incorrectly find that
-    > `"a\\b"` and `"a\u005Cb"` are not equal.
-
-    This implementation is interoperable as it does compare strings code unit
-    by code unit.
-
-    #### Storage
-
-    String values are stored as pointers in a @ref basic_json type. That is,
-    for any access to string values, a pointer of type `string_t*` must be

-
-    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

-
-    #### Default behavior
-
-    - The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead,

-      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`.
-

-    When the default type is used, the maximal integer number that can be

-    that are out of range will yield over/underflow when used in a

-    @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 no 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(initializer_list_t)
-      with an empty initializer list in this case
-    - arrays whose elements satisfy rule 2: use @ref
-      array(initializer_list_t) 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(initializer_list_t) and
-    @ref object(initializer_list_t).
-
-    @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 type_error.301 if @a type_deduction is `false`, @a manual_type is
-    `value_t::object`, but @a init contains an element which is not a pair
-    whose first element is a string. In this case, the constructor could not
-    create an object. If @a type_deduction would have be `true`, an array
-    would have been created. See @ref object(initializer_list_t)
-    for an example.

-
-    Compares two JSON values for equality according to the following rules:
-    - Two JSON values are equal if (1) they are from the same type and (2)
-      their stored values are the same according to their respective
-      `operator==`.
-    - Integer and floating-point numbers are automatically converted before
-      comparison. Note than two NaN values are always treated as unequal.
-    - Two JSON null values are equal.
-
-    @note Floating-point inside JSON values numbers are compared with
-    `json::number_float_t::operator==` which is `double::operator==` by
-    default. To compare floating-point while respecting an epsilon, an alternative
-    [comparison function](https://github.com/mariokonrad/marnav/blob/master/src/marnav/math/floatingpoint.hpp#L34-#L39)

-
-    @warning CBOR allows map keys of any type, whereas JSON only allows
-             strings as keys in object values. Therefore, CBOR maps with keys
-             other than UTF-8 strings are rejected (parse_error.113).

-    JSON value.
-
-    The function implements the following algorithm from Section 2 of

-
-    ```

-        return Target
-      else:
