+@brief a class to store JSON values
+
+@tparam ObjectType type for JSON objects (`std::map` by default; will be used
+in @ref object_t)
+@tparam ArrayType type for JSON arrays (`std::vector` by default; will be used
+in @ref array_t)
+@tparam StringType type for JSON strings and object keys (`std::string` by
+default; will be used in @ref string_t)
+@tparam BooleanType type for JSON booleans (`bool` by default; will be used
+in @ref boolean_t)
+@tparam NumberIntegerType type for JSON integer numbers (`int64_t` by
+default; will be used in @ref number_integer_t)
+@tparam NumberUnsignedType type for JSON unsigned integer numbers (@c
+`uint64_t` by default; will be used in @ref number_unsigned_t)
+@tparam NumberFloatType type for JSON floating-point numbers (`double` by
+default; will be used in @ref number_float_t)
+@tparam AllocatorType type of the allocator to use (`std::allocator` by
+default)
+@tparam JSONSerializer the serializer to resolve internal calls to `to_json()`
+and `from_json()` (@ref adl_serializer by default)
+
+@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.
+
+@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, 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.

+
+ To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameter

+
+ #### Encoding
+
+ Strings are stored in UTF-8 encoding. Therefore, functions like

+
+ #### String comparison
+
+ [RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) states:

+ > 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.

+ 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.
+

+ @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)

+ @brief applies a JSON patch
+
+ [JSON Patch](http://jsonpatch.com) defines a JSON document structure for

+ executing all operations from the patch.
+
+ @param[in] json_patch JSON patch document
+ @return patched document
+
+ @note The application of a patch is atomic: Either all operations succeed
+ and the patched document is returned or an exception is thrown. In
+ any case, the original value is not changed: the patch is applied
+ to a copy of the value.
+
+ @throw parse_error.104 if the JSON patch does not consist of an array of
+ objects
+
+ @throw parse_error.105 if the JSON patch is malformed (e.g., mandatory
+ attributes are missing); example: `"operation add must have member path"`
+
+ @throw out_of_range.401 if an array index is out of range.
+
+ @throw out_of_range.403 if a JSON pointer inside the patch could not be
+ resolved successfully in the current JSON value; example: `"key baz not
+ found"`
