## Notes
`BasicJsonType` has no counterpart to this function: once a number is parsed into `number_integer_t`, `number_unsigned_t`, or `number_float_t`, its original textual form (leading zeros aside, which are already rejected by the grammar; trailing zeros in the fraction; the case and sign of the exponent; ...) is gone. `number_token()` is useful precisely where that form must survive -- a price or an identifier that must be reproduced exactly, or a number too large for any of `BasicJsonType`'s number types to hold without loss.

The returned [`string_view_t`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/#member-types) always points into the document's [`source()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/source/index.md) text -- numbers are never decoded into the document's separate string buffer -- and is valid exactly as long as that text is, see the [validity rules](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/index.md) of `basic_json_view`.

## Examples
Example
The example below keeps a price and an order ID exactly as they were written in an incoming order, where converting them with [`get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/get/index.md) would lose information: the price picks up floating-point rounding, and the order ID -- more digits than a 64-bit integer holds -- can only be approximated as a `double` once `materialize()`d.
