A document may **borrow** the text it was parsed from (the caller's buffer must then outlive the document) or **own** it (a copy, or an rvalue `std::string` that was moved in); see [`owns_source`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/owns_source/index.md). `basic_json_document` is move-only: a copy would duplicate the whole index, the decoded-string buffer, and the owned text, and a move is enough in every use we know of. The index, the decoded strings, and the owned text live in one heap block that the document holds through a `std::unique_ptr`; this is also why views survive a move of the document.
With `Editable == true`, the document also offers [`set`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/set/index.md), [`push_back`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/push_back/index.md), [`insert`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/insert/index.md), and [`erase`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/erase/index.md) to change values in place, see [Edits](#edits) below. The source text itself is never written; a read-only document (`Editable == false`, the default) does not carry any of the bookkeeping edits need, and calling any of them on one fails to compile (`static_assert`).

The source text itself is never written; a read-only document (`view_mode::read_only`, the default) does not carry any of the bookkeeping edits need, and calling any of them on one fails to compile (`static_assert`).
## Template parameters
`BasicJsonType` : a specialization of [`basic_json`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/index.md), for instance [`json`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/json/index.md) or [`ordered_json`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/ordered_json/index.md). Only 64-bit `number_integer_t`/`number_unsigned_t` types are supported; this is checked with a `static_assert`.
`Editable` : whether the document supports [`set`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/set/index.md), [`push_back`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/push_back/index.md), [`insert`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/insert/index.md), and [`erase`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/erase/index.md) (optional, `false` by default). See [Edits](#edits) below.
`Mode` : a [`view_mode`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/view_mode/index.md): `view_mode::editable` if the document supports [`set`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/set/index.md), [`push_back`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/push_back/index.md), [`insert`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/insert/index.md), and [`erase`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/erase/index.md) (optional, `view_mode::read_only` by default).

A few points apply to every edit:
- **The source text is never written**, and the parsed index never moves: every value keeps the node it was parsed into, so [views](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/index.md) taken before an edit stay valid, including [`root()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/root/index.md). New values (and the element sequences of an edited array/object) go to storage owned by the document, allocated on demand.
- **A view keeps referring to the same value.** After [`set`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/set/index.md) replaces the value a view refers to, that view sees the new value; a view of a value that a later edit replaces or drops keeps showing what it last held. An edit of an array or object, however, **invalidates the iterators taken over it** (its members may now live in a different sequence), and a string obtained with [`get_string()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/get_string/index.md) stays valid even as further edits happen (earlier buffers of edited text are kept alive, not overwritten).

Inserts `value` into `array` as a new element before position `idx`, which must not be past the end (`idx <= array.size()`; `idx == array.size()` appends, like [`push_back`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/push_back/index.md)). Unlike [`push_back`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/push_back/index.md), a [null](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/is_null/index.md) `array` does *not* first become an empty array: `array` must already be an array.

Writes the document as an *image*: a byte buffer that [`load`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/load/index.md) reads back without parsing. The image holds the node index, the source text (plus, for an edited document, the number tokens edits wrote), and the decoded strings (plus the strings edits wrote) -- everything [`root()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/root/index.md) needs, with nothing left to parse.
An edited document is written in its *current* state, with its values in document order, the way the library's own parser would have produced them for that JSON text: a member [`set`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/set/index.md) added goes at the end, an [`erase`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/erase/index.md)d member leaves no trace, and a float that is not finite (NaN or positive/negative infinity) becomes null, the same substitution [`dump()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/dump/index.md) makes. The same document always saves to the same bytes -- also across `BasicJsonType` and `Editable`, since the image reflects document order and values only, not which specialization produced them.

The image format is versioned but not yet stable: it may change in an incompatible way before it is declared stable. Use images to cache a document within one build of the library, or to hand one to another process running the *same* build on the *same* (little-endian) machine -- not as a long-term storage format. Keep the original JSON text if you need to read a saved document back with a future library version.
**Little-endian only.** The image is written as raw little-endian bytes, with no byte-swapping. `save()` (and [`load`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/load/index.md)) throw `type_error.320` on a big-endian target rather than silently produce bytes a big-endian reader could not interpret correctly.
**Little-endian targets only.** The image is written as raw little-endian bytes, with no byte-swapping. On a big-endian target, `save()` and [`load`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_document/load/index.md) do not exist: a call fails to compile rather than produce bytes a big-endian reader could not interpret correctly.

Sets the member `key` of the object `object` to `value`: assigns it if `object` already has a member with this key -- the first one, should the key occur more than once, and the later duplicates are then dropped (see the [Notes](#notes) below) -- or appends a new member at the end otherwise. A [null](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/is_null/index.md) `object` first becomes an empty object.
