Niels Lohmann	823eee3b59	Add editable json_documents: set, push_back, insert, and erase (#5630) ... * Add editable json_documents: set, push_back, insert, and erase basic_json_document gets a second template parameter, Editable (false by default), plus the aliases json_editable_document, json_editable_view, ordered_json_editable_document and ordered_json_editable_view. Editable documents can change values and structure without rewriting the source text: set()/push_back() on values, keys, array indices and JSON pointers; insert() before an array element; erase() of an object key, array index or JSON pointer. New values and element sequences go into edit storage that the document owns and never moves, so views keep referring to their value across edits and a parsed node never moves. Read-only documents walk the plain node array and are unaffected. Strings are checked for UTF-8 on entry, so dump() of an editable document never throws type_error.316. Binary values cannot be stored (type_error.319). A seeded differential test applies random edits to an editable document and to the equivalent ordered_json and compares both after every step. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix old clang and MSVC C4127 in editable json documents Value-initialize the const std::less in find_parent (clang 3.4/3.6 do not implement DR 253), and test the Editable template argument through a function to avoid MSVC C4127. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Copy nested values into a document without recursion Counting and copying the nodes of a view or a basic_json value into an editable document recursed once per nesting level, so that a deeply nested value overflowed the stack. The four functions now walk the value with an explicit stack, as materialize() does. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Do not leave a half-assigned container when set_moved() throws assign() rewrote the kind, length and extent of a slot before set_moved() registered its new element sequence. set_moved() can throw (std::bad_alloc from reserving the bookkeeping vectors) for a slot that is not moved yet, which left a container without the moved flag that showed its old children. The bookkeeping is now reserved first (reserve_moved()), so that nothing after the first write to the slot can throw. block_of() reserves before it marks anything for the same reason. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Check strings copied from another document for valid UTF-8 An editable document only holds valid UTF-8, but copy_scalar() copied the strings and keys of a view of another document unchecked. A document of a weaker check (or a borrowed text that changed after parsing) could therefore bring ill-formed UTF-8 into it. The copy is checked now, with the error that dump() reports for the string; copies within the same document stay unchecked. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Allow the edit arena to grow up to 4 GiB - 1 bytes append_text() doubled the capacity of the arena and rejected the result if it exceeded 4 GiB, so that an arena of more than 2 GiB could not grow even though the 32-bit offsets of nodes address 4 GiB - 1 bytes. The capacity is now clamped to that limit (text_capacity()), and an append is rejected only if the bytes themselves do not fit. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Set a null value below a pointer as basic_json does set(json_pointer, value) turned a null parent into an object for every last reference token, so "/a/0" and "/a/-" below {"a":null} made {"a":{"0":1}}, where basic_json's operator[](json_pointer) makes an array. A null parent now becomes an array for "-" and for digit tokens (filled with nulls up to the index) and an object otherwise. An invalid index is reported before the parent changes. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Replace a container by a scalar in constant time once it is linked Replacing an array or object that spans several nodes by a scalar looks up its parent from the root (find_parent), which is linear in the size of the document: setting every element of a 20,000 element array took more than half a second. The parent only has to switch to links once; afterward the extent of the replaced value no longer matters. Nodes that an entry of a moved sequence links to are now marked (node_flags::linked), and assign() skips the lookup for them. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Update the json_view banner and type_error.319 for editable documents The banner still described a read-only view, and the documentation of type_error.319 listed set and push_back only, although insert rejects binary values as well. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Assign the member that lookups find when set() meets duplicate keys An editable document reads the last member of a repeated key (as the read-only document does), but set(object, key, value) assigned the first one: a view taken from object[key] before the call did not show the new value. It now assigns the last member's value, keeps the key at the position of its first occurrence (where materialize() puts it), and drops the other members. The seeded differential test now also edits documents whose objects repeat keys and compares every lookup (operator[], at, find, value, contains, count, and JSON pointers) with the parsed basic_json value. A targeted test covers duplicates before and after edits that move the object, in large objects with an index, in moved arrays, and in values copied from other documents. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Assign the first member when set() meets duplicate keys again Lookups find the first member of a repeated key again, so set(object, key, value) assigns that member (keeping the key where it is) and drops the others, as documented before, and a view taken from object[key] shows the new value. This undoes the code and documentation changes of 5cbb8e6d6. Lookups in edited objects (navigation of editable documents) stop at the first match, like those of parsed objects. The tests that commit added expect the first member from lookups now. In the seeded differential test, the documents with repeated keys repeat them after the real members; the reference holds the first members, which the edits address and the lookups are compared with, while materialize() is compared with what parse() makes of the document's dump.

For json_view.hpp it suggested adding <array> (std::array is used), and the headers that json.hpp already provides (abi_config, abi_macros, input_adapters, json_pointer, cpp_future, string_concat, value_t, json_fwd), plus <version> for std::nullptr_t, and removing <cstddef> and edit_storage.hpp. - include <array> - keep <cstddef> (nullptr_t, size_t; IWYU attributes them to <version> and <cstring>) - tell IWYU not to suggest the headers that json.hpp provides: the amalgamated json_view.hpp only includes json.hpp, so including them here would duplicate their definitions - drop edit_storage.hpp, which edit.hpp includes Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Keep the view's edit headers clean for clang-tidy in C++17 mode clang-tidy 22 checks the headers with -std=gnu++17 as well, where it asks for a transparent comparator and std::make_unique. The regions map uses its default comparator, and the allocation of the edit state keeps new (the library is C++11) with a NOLINT. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Regenerate the amalgamated headers Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Follow the renames from the review of the view builder The review of #5620 renamed document_data's tape/tape_size/tape_cap to nodes/node_count/node_capacity and made the decode arena a std::vector<char>; adapt the code of this change to it. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Expect count() to count every member in the edit tests Since #5622, count() counts every member with the key, so documents with duplicate keys no longer give 1. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Count matching keys as unsigned in the json_view edit tests Like in the access test, adding the int result of the conditional to a std::size_t fails -Werror=sign-conversion with GCC. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Address the review of erase() in editable json documents From gregmarr's review of #5630: - invalid_iterator.202 is thrown by overloads 1 and 2 only; the page said "every overload" and then excluded 3 in parentheses. - The note on links says what moves (the links after the removed element, as insert() moves them the other way) and that every iterator over the container is invalidated, not only those after the removed element. - edit.hpp compares keys with document_data::key_equals().

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Regenerate the amalgamated headers Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Address the rest of the review of editable json documents From gregmarr's review of #5630: - alloc_nodes() gives a request of half of the next chunk or more a chunk of its own, so that the rest of the current chunk stays available for smaller requests instead of being abandoned. - The comments on edit_state, append_text(), and reserve_moved() say that views stay valid across every edit (not just the first), that n is 0 for empty strings, and why both capacities are checked. - The architecture page names flag bits 3, 4, and 5 (linked) separately and says that a discarded view has no node; erase.md rewords overload 3 and says why it never throws invalid_iterator.202. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Call alloc_nodes() before reading chunks.back() in the json_view chunk test The operands of == are unsequenced, and MSVC evaluated d->edits->chunks.back() before alloc_nodes() added the new chunk, so the check compared the result with the previous chunk and failed on msvc-arm64 (Debug and Release).

Niels Lohmann	3ff37ead75	Scan json_view strings with SIMD and index large objects (#5628) ... * Scan json_view strings with SIMD and index large objects Speed up json_view's parser with SIMD scanning and a hash table for large objects. Long runs of string bytes are scanned 16 bytes at a time with NEON (AArch64, GCC and Clang) and SSE2 (x86-64), both baseline instruction sets. Keys keep 16 table checks before the vector loop, because their lengths repeat from record to record; string values get 8, because their lengths vary more. Non-ASCII text is validated 16 bytes at a time with simdjson's "lookup4" check (Keiser and Lemire, 2021), with NEON on AArch64 and, on x86-64, with SSSE3. SSSE3 is not part of baseline x86-64, so the check is compiled for SSSE3 with a function attribute and used only where CPUID reports it, which all x86-64 CPUs since about 2011 do; the answer is cached in a statically initialized atomic, so there is no guard of a local static and no global constructor. The same input is accepted either way. JSON_VIEW_NO_SIMD selects the portable code. On x86-64, string runs are now checked vector-first: one SSE2 compare from the first byte finds the end of most keys and short values, instead of a branch per byte for the first 8-16 bytes. AArch64 keeps the byte-wise steps, where a NEON mask costs more and the branches predict well. Entering an object or array no longer stalls: open() stores the parent's frame field by field instead of building it on the stack and reading it back with wider loads, which waited for the narrower stores to retire. Objects with 128 members or more get an open-addressing hash table built when the object closes, so operator[], at(), find(), contains(), count(), value(), and JSON pointers take constant time on average in such objects; of duplicate keys, the first is kept, as for the linear search. The idea comes from Boost.JSON. simdjson is credited in simd.hpp's SPDX block, the README, and license.md. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix GCC module build and MSVC C4127 in the json_view SIMD code GCC ignores the target attribute in modules, so the SSSE3 dispatch is disabled for the module interface (the check stays portable, SSE2 is kept). Make the 8-vs-16 byte unrolling condition in scan_string_run a preprocessor/template split to avoid a constant condition (C4127). Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Remove an accidentally committed GCC module cache Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Bound the probe length of the large-object hash index The key hash is not seeded, so keys chosen to collide made building the table quadratic (20,000 colliding keys took 470 ms to parse). A key may now sit at most 64 slots from its home slot; if a key would sit further away, the table is dropped and the object is searched linearly. Lookups stop after the same distance. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Release the spare capacity of the hash index in shrink_to_fit shrink_to_fit() now trims the tables of large objects like the node array and the decoded strings, and the list of large objects is released as soon as the tables are built. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Use the portable string scan on non-x86 targets that define __SSE2__ WebAssembly with -msse2 defines __SSE2__, but has no <cpuid.h> or x86 intrinsics headers. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Document the hash index number in node::extra Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Keep the last of duplicate keys in the object hash index Lookups in objects with 128 members or more now return the last member of a repeated key, like the linear search of smaller objects and like materialize() and basic_json::parse(). build_object_index let the first occurrence win, so the same text gave different results depending on the size of the object. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Keep the first of duplicate keys in the object hash index again Lookups in objects with 128 members or more return the first member of a repeated key again, like the linear search of smaller objects. This undoes the code change of a69542046; its test now expects the first member from lookups (with and without a table) and the last value from materialize() and basic_json::parse().

Like the other ABI-affecting macros, they now add a tag to the inline namespace (_vns and _vssse3), and the docs replace the "Define consistently" warning with the usual ABI compatibility note.

Niels Lohmann	4c3a3eb5b5	Add dump() and comparisons to json_view (#5624) ... * Add dump() and comparisons to json_view Add basic_json_view::dump() and the comparison operators, and read floats from the parser's digit layout instead of rescanning the token. dump(indent, indent_char, ensure_ascii, number_format) writes a value the way ordered_json::parse(text).dump() writes it for the same arguments: members in document order, all of them should a key occur more than once; strings escaped by the same rules, using the library's scanning kernels; floats written with the library's to_chars conversion, so the output equals basic_json's byte for byte; integers copied from the source, where they are already canonical, except -0, which parse() reads as 0. There is no error_handler argument, because the view only holds valid UTF-8. number_format::source copies numbers exactly as they appear in the source (e.g. "1.50", "1E2", "-0"), which basic_json cannot provide. operator<< takes the indentation from the stream width, as for basic_json. The writer walks iteratively, so nesting depth is limited by memory only. operator== and operator!= compare two views, or a view and a basic_json value in either order, by the rules basic_json's operator== uses: numbers compare by value across their types, objects compare by their members with duplicate keys resolved as parse() resolves them, member order matters only where the object type keeps one, and discarded views compare as discarded basic_json values do, including under JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON. Nothing is materialized except single scalars. While parsing, the view now records where the integer digits, the fraction digits, and the exponent of a float token are, so floats and doubles with at most 19 digits are read from that layout with the library's decimal_to_float() instead of rescanning the token. Both round correctly, so the values are those of parse(). get<double>(), materialize(), dump(), and the comparisons all use it.

Niels Lohmann	43e97b629b	Add element access, iteration, values, and JSON pointers to json_view (#5622) ... * Add element access, iteration, values, and JSON pointers to json_view Give basic_json_view the read-only access functions of basic_json: operator[] and at() with keys and indices, front()/back(), find(), contains(), count(), begin()/end() and cbegin()/cend(), items() with structured bindings from C++17 on, and type_name(). Exceptions have the ids and messages of the const functions of basic_json. Where basic_json has undefined behavior the view answers safely: operator[] with a missing key or an out-of-range index returns a discarded view, and front()/back() of an empty container throw invalid_iterator.214. Objects are iterated in document order, and all members are visited; duplicate-key lookups find the first member (as yyjson and simdjson do), while parse(), materialize(), and the map conversions keep the last value, as parse() does. Keys of up to 16 bytes are compared with two overlapping loads. Add value conversions: get<T>()/get_to() for arithmetic types, bool, nullptr_t, strings (std::basic_string copied, string_view_t without a copy), BasicJsonType, views, std::vector, and maps with string keys; get_string() for the string without a copy; number_token() for the number exactly as written in the source; value() with keys and JSON pointers; and operator[]/at()/ contains() with JSON pointers. Everything else, including types with from_json(), goes through materialize() of that subtree. get<T>() of arithmetic types is inlined down to the conversion, so reading an integer needs no call. detail::json_pointer_access exposes a pointer's reference tokens to code outside basic_json. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Make view lookups last-wins and chained access safe * Lookups (operator[], at, find, contains, count, value, JSON pointers) return the last member of a duplicate key, as materialize() and parse() keep it. * operator[] on a discarded view returns a discarded view instead of throwing, so v["a"]["b"] is safe for a missing "a". * operator[] and at() take any integer type (not only int and size_t), fixing ambiguous calls with unsigned, long, std::int64_t, ... * Fix the operator[] documentation, which claimed a discarded view for a type mismatch where type_error.305 is thrown.

Niels Lohmann	122d718330	Add json_document and json_view: node index, parser, and document (#5620) ... * Add json_document and json_view: node index, parser, and document Add json_document and json_view, a read-only, zero-copy index of a JSON text, as the first public slice of the zero-copy view (#5295). A parse produces a flat array of 16-byte nodes in document order, one per value and one per object key. Strings stay in the source text; escaped strings are decoded into an arena. Integers are converted while their digits are in the cache; floats keep only their digit layout and are converted on read. Containers store the size of their subtree, so a reader can step over one in constant time. A document makes a handful of allocations, however many values it has. The parser accepts exactly what json::parse accepts, with every combination of ignore_comments and ignore_trailing_commas, with and without a trailing NUL, and under JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING. It is portable C++11 and does not depend on byte order. basic_json_document adds parse, parse_copy, accept, read (reuses a document's memory), root, is_discarded, source, owns_source, node_count, memory_usage, and shrink_to_fit. basic_json_view adds type, the is_* queries, operator bool, size, empty, materialize, and source_offset. A parse error throws the same exception basic_json::parse would throw for the same input, message and position included. detail::abi_config keeps JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING and JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON readable after json.hpp undefines them, in the ABI namespace so they always match the basic_json in use. A NUL byte that ends a // comment is the end of the input, as in parse() since #5696. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix document_data for old Clang (3.4-3.6) Drop the empty braced NSDMIs of the std::string members: old Clang rejects the defaulted constructor when it is used by a member initializer before the end of the class definition. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Exclude libstdc++'s string_view comparison from the sign-change check basic_string_view::_S_compare stores the difference of two lengths in a signed difference_type on purpose, which -fsanitize=integer reports for every comparison with a shorter view (test-json_view_cpp17). Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Reject integer lengths in json_document::parse parse(ptr, len) compiled: len converted to allow_exceptions, and ptr was read as a C string, past the end of a buffer without a terminating NUL. Delete the overloads of parse, parse_copy, accept, and read that take an integer other than bool where the flags are expected. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Copy const rvalue strings and document the accepted inputs json_document::parse(std::move(const_string)) failed to compile with "no matching read_kind": only a non-const rvalue std::string can be moved from. Treat a const rvalue as a copied byte container. parse() does not accept everything BasicJsonType::parse() does: a FILE* and pointers to or arrays of wide characters are rejected at compile time. List the supported inputs instead. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Remove the conversion to bool from json_view explicit operator bool meant "refers to a value", which silently differs from what a basic_json converts to.

Delete the overload for rvalue documents, take a named document in the tests, and document the lifetime rule. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Store node integers by halves on big-endian targets The non-little-endian path of the node writer wrote the integer's native word over len and next, so len got the high half there. Compose and split the value explicitly (len is the low half, next the high half); the little-endian path stays a plain memcpy. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Check the node array size for overflow reserve(n) and the growth of the index computed n * sizeof(node) without a check, which wraps around on 32-bit targets for inputs of about 1 GiB and allocates a too small array.

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * State the exact input size limit of json_document The check rejects inputs of 0xFFFFFFF0 bytes or more, but the exception message and the documentation said 4 GiB.

A moved-in std::string still replaces it. - The error replay runs the library parser with a SAX handler that stores nothing and throws the reported exception, instead of BasicJsonType::parse(), which built a DOM up to the error. - Pointers to and arrays of wide characters, and FILE*, take the input adapter path (converted to UTF-8 into an owned buffer) instead of failing a static_assert. Wide pointers are NUL-terminated. - Streams are read in blocks through rdbuf() into the buffer, instead of character by character through the input adapter; eofbit is set at the end, as by the library's stream adapter. - tape/tape_size/tape_cap are now nodes/node_count/node_capacity. - The builder's members get descriptive, m_-prefixed names. - The shallow frame stack is a std::array (in a wrapper with a user-provided constructor: -Weffc++ wants the member initialized, and value-initializing the 64 frames costs up to 30 % on small documents). - The value dispatch macro has no NEXT parameter; the switch is left with break, and the macro is undefined after its last use. - literal() and digits_exceed() deduce the length from the string literal; each literal has one helper; the two `if (!is_float)` blocks are merged. - arena_ensure() sits right before the writes; the decode arena is a std::vector<char>. - The builder records the deepest nesting, and materialize() sizes its stack from it once (growing it only if a subtree is deeper). - Comment fixes (hex4, slow_string, the NUL rule, put_utf8, 0 - m, the arena resize, grow()) and formatting (macro backslashes, digit cases, one power of ten per line, value_t assertion next to is_container()). - build_with's template parameters follow the builder's order. Greg's idea of keeping the source offset in `off` and the arena offset in `next` for escaped strings was measured and not adopted: string access got 7-18 % slower with a select, and 3.5-18 % slower with a branch-free field pick (Apple M-series, clang -O3), parsing was unchanged. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Apply the review's wording fixes to the json_view documentation - Copying is disabled because of its cost, not because of two documents borrowing the same buffer; the unique_ptr follows from move-only. - Inputs: streams, FILE*, and wide characters (strings, arrays, pointers) are all supported and owned; point to parse_copy() for owned copies. - The error replay only runs for failing input, builds no values, and is skipped with allow_exceptions = false. - read() writes copied inputs into the previous owned copy. - Views can dangle like std::string_view, and why there is no shared/weak pointer design. - The 4 GiB limit (16-byte nodes, 16-byte scanner steps), streams being read to the end first, which macros apply, why materialize() has no source positions, and wording nits (accept() vs basic_json::accept(), is_binary, is_discarded, see-also lists, size table, "back into"). Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Say that json_view converts integers while parsing Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Address the review: null inline nodes, trait spelling, and max() in json_view - inline_nodes is null when the document has no inline nodes, instead of pointing past the end of the allocation; shrink_to_fit() no longer passes it to memcpy() for an empty node array - is_byte_char and is_wide_char use conjunction/disjunction, which astyle leaves unspaced - append_stream() uses (std::max) for the count read Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Include materialize.hpp in the view builder test The test calls detail::view::materialize(), which only the single header pulled in; the multiple-header build (JSON_TEST_USING_MULTIPLE_HEADERS) failed with "'materialize' is not a member of detail::view". Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Rename emit() in the view builder for Qt compatibility Qt defines emit as an empty macro, so a Qt header included before json_view.hpp broke the declaration of the builder's emit(), see issue #5865. It is now called push_node(). Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Do not copy an empty run into an unallocated arena memcpy() must not be passed a null pointer even for zero bytes, which arena_run() did for an empty run while the arena was still empty (ci_test_clang_sanitizer: "null pointer passed as argument 1" in builder.hpp). Only the slow path can see such a run. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Exclude the view builder test from Infer's reports Infer's std::unique_ptr model confuses the values that the test's build() helper returns by value and reports USE_AFTER_DELETE for one of them after the destructor of an unrelated temporary (ci_infer, 12 reports, all in tests/src/unit-json_view_builder.cpp). AddressSanitizer is clean on the same tests. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Skip the deleted-overload checks of json_view on MSVC 2015 MSVC 2015 does not treat selecting a deleted function in decltype as a substitution failure, so is_detected reports the deleted parse/parse_copy/accept/read(ptr, len) overloads as callable and the static_asserts in "integer arguments do not compile" fail (AppVeyor VS2015 jobs).

Niels Lohmann	91a7a94cc6	Write doubles with the shortest digits (Żmij), digits in registers (#5634) ... * Write doubles with the shortest digits (Żmij), digits in registers Write doubles with the conversion of Zmij by Victor Zverovich (MIT), ported to C++11 (detail/conversions/zmij.hpp). It finds the shortest decimal that reads back as the same double, and the closest one if there are several. Grisu2, used until now, is fast but not always shortest: it sometimes writes a 17th digit where 16 suffice, or a last digit that is not the closest. The layout is unchanged (1.5, 100.0, 1e+100, -0.0); float keeps Grisu2. Digits are converted eight at a time with the BCD conversion of Xiang JunBo, as in Zmij, and written with one byte swap per eight digits and fixed-size moves instead of per-digit loops. Leading and trailing zeros are counted from those bytes. to_chars() uses a local buffer when the caller's is shorter than the 41 bytes this may write. The powers of ten come from the number-parsing table, adjusted where it holds values rounded up, and extended with Zmij's compressed tables beyond 10^308. write_shortest() converts its 16 digits in one vector register (SSE2 on x86-64, NEON on 64-bit Arm, both baseline) and inserts the decimal point inside the register, avoiding a store-forwarding stall that cost about 25% of the time to write a double. dump() writes floats and integers straight into the serializer's write buffer instead of copying them from a member buffer, and small integers eight digits at a time. read_eight_bytes() and parse_eight_digits() are marked always-inline, which GCC had been calling out of line in the number-parsing loops. Of one million random doubles, about 0.14% are now written with different digits, always to a value that still reads back as the same double.

Niels Lohmann	5b4c8f9b00	Speed up the lexer: own float parser, string scan, and \u table (#5738) ... * Speed up the lexer: own float parser, string scan, and \u table Give the library its own correctly rounded float converter for binary32 and binary64 (IEEE 754), and speed up the lexer's string and escape scanning. The converter splits a number token into sign, significand, and decimal exponent, then tries Clinger's fast path, then a templated Eisel-Lemire step, and falls back to an exact big-integer digit comparison for tokens with more than 19 significant digits whose two candidate values round differently. This replaces std::from_chars and strtod/strtof for both formats, so parsed values no longer depend on the C/C++ library or the current locale. The strtold fallback kept for other long double formats (x87, binary128) now also copies a multi-byte decimal point correctly, fixing #5660. eisel_lemire() and decimal_to_float() are always inlined so callers keep the whole conversion in their hot loop. The string-scanning kernels in string_scan.hpp find a stop byte with the trailing-zero count of the SWAR mask instead of a byte loop, and scalar_string_bulk_run() validates a run of multi-byte UTF-8 sequences one after another instead of re-searching after each one. get_codepoint() decodes a contiguous \uXXXX escape with one table lookup per byte instead of four range-checked get() calls; the streaming path and all error positions are unchanged. Adds 508 generated hard float-parsing cases with expected binary32 and binary64 bits, and kernel-comparison tests for the string scans and the escape table against byte-by-byte references.

Niels Lohmann	aa9620fb15	Skip the indentation after a newline 8 bytes at a time (#5810) ... Pretty-printed JSON indents every line with a run of spaces, which skip_whitespace() read one character at a time. For contiguous input (bulk_scan) the lexer now skips the spaces after a newline 8 bytes at a time directly in the input buffer, including the leading spaces of the last, partial word. This bypasses get(), which is safe because bulk_scan implies the lazy position from the previous commit: nothing is counted per character. Compared to lazy positions alone, pretty-printed input (twitter, citm_catalog with indent 2 and 4) parses up to 13% faster and accept() gets up to 30% faster (GCC 13 and clang 18 on x86-64, Apple clang 21 on arm64).

Niels Lohmann	f23830b65e	Derive the lexer position lazily for seekable input (#5809) ... * Derive the lexer position lazily for seekable input The lexer counted the read position on every character: two increments and a newline check per get(), all on members kept in memory. For seekable input (pointers, strings, other random-access byte ranges) the position can be derived instead: chars_read_total is the adapter's read count (including reads at EOF) minus a pending unget, and line and column are recomputed from the consumed input only when get_position() is called, i.e. on parse errors. JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS uses the new O(1) get_chars_read_total(). Stream, file, wide-string and user-defined adapters keep the eager counters. Parsing pretty-printed input gets 8-12% faster and accept() 12-27% (canada, citm_catalog, twitter; clang 21 arm64 and GCC 13 x86-64). Error messages, byte offsets, SAX positions and diagnostic positions are unchanged (differential comparison against develop on 548k inputs).

Niels LohmannandAfonso Januário	a5f5d3059b	Make std::hash<basic_json> consistent with operator== for numbers (#5772) ... * Make std::hash<basic_json> consistent with operator== for numbers operator== converts between number_integer, number_unsigned, and number_float before comparing, so json(0), json(0U), and json(0.0) all compare equal. hash() folded the specific value_t into the result for each of the three numeric cases, giving each a distinct hash and breaking the standard Hash requirement that a == b implies hash(a) == hash(b). A std::unordered_set could therefore hold all three as separate elements even though they compare equal. hash() now treats all three numeric variants the same way: it converts the value to number_float_t and combines it with a single shared type tag, so any two numbers operator== considers equal hash identically regardless of which internal type actually holds them.

Niels Lohmann	1c754cfe31	Copy a pair-shaped array value under JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS (#5701) ... With JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS enabled, single-element brace initialization from a JSON value decided whether to copy the value or build an object by inspecting the value's runtime shape: a two-element array whose first element is a string, such as ["key", 42], was turned into an object instead of being copied. This made the behavior depend on the element's content, and it did not distinguish an existing value of this shape from a nested braced pair written in the source, such as the inner {"key", "value"} of {{"key", "value"}}. json_ref now records whether it was constructed from a braced list (true only for the std::initializer_list<json_ref> constructor used for nested braced lists) or from a value. The initializer-list constructor uses this to copy or move a single non-braced-list element before deciding whether the list describes an object, so a JSON value is always copied regardless of its shape, while a braced pair written in the source still creates an object.

A deleted function still takes part in overload resolution, so from_*(ptr, len) cannot silently bind len to the strict parameter of from_*(InputType&&, bool); the roadmap now plans to keep these overloads deleted in 4.0.0 instead of removing them. The legacy discarded-value comparison is left to its own macro. Also update the 4.0 roadmap: add JSON_DISABLE_TUPLE_REFERENCE_CONVERSION and JSON_DELETE_DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS to the macro table, add the from_bjdata/from_bon8 (ptr, len) overloads to the deprecated functions, document the macro in the migration guide, and fix the docs style check findings (example titles, missing docset entry for JSON_STRICT_BINARY_UTF8).

The call instead bound to from_*(InputType&&, bool strict), which read ptr as a NUL-terminated C string via strlen and silently converted len to the strict flag. Data containing a 0x00 byte was cut off there; data without one was read past the end of the buffer. Add a deprecated (ptr, len, strict, allow_exceptions) overload for each function that forwards to (ptr, ptr + len, ...), matching the existing deprecated overloads of the other four binary readers.

Niels LohmannandMuhammad Amir bin Mohamad Ghazaly	8c1f60a45e	Store maps with enum keys as objects (opt-in) (#5600) ... * Store maps with enum keys as objects (opt-in) Maps with enum keys, such as std::map<E, T>, are stored as arrays of [key, value] pairs, because enums are not convertible to the string type of object keys - even if NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM maps them to strings (#4378). The new JSON_USE_OBJECTS_FOR_ENUM_KEYED_MAPS macro stores them as objects instead, converting each key with the enum's to_json. It applies to any map-like type with enum keys (std::map with any comparator, std::unordered_map, ...). A key that does not convert to a string throws type_error.302, and two keys converting to the same string throw the new type_error.318, rather than losing an entry. The macro changes the output of inline functions, so it is part of the ABI tag (_ekmo). Reading needs no macro: std::map and std::unordered_map with enum keys are now also read from objects, converting each key with the enum's from_json. That input was rejected before, and arrays of pairs are still read, so data written either way can be read. This supersedes #4531, which first proposed storing these maps as objects. Co-authored-by: Muhammad Amir bin Mohamad Ghazaly <amirghaz@umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Keep multimaps with enum keys as arrays of pairs With JSON_USE_OBJECTS_FOR_ENUM_KEYED_MAPS, is_enum_keyed_map also matched std::multimap and std::unordered_multimap. Storing them as objects throws type_error.318 as soon as a key occurs twice, which is the normal case for a multimap, so such values could no longer be serialized at all once the macro was enabled, although they are stored losslessly as arrays of [key, value] pairs without it. Exclude maps with non-unique keys from is_enum_keyed_map. They are detected by insert(value_type) returning an iterator rather than a pair<iterator, bool>. Map-like types without such an insert() are still treated as before.

Move the test case unchanged into unit-enum_keyed_maps_default.cpp, with the three enums it needs.
