* docs: new design for the documentation site
Apply the brand to the Material for MkDocs site: Inter and JetBrains Mono
served by the site (upright and real italic), brand colours, blue header band
with the syntax pattern, wordmark in the header, new home page (hero, cards,
animated feature tour), 404 page, polish for tabs, search, footer, focus
rings, tables and code blocks, and theme features (code copy, previous/next
footer, TOC follow, search suggestions).
Draw the number railroad diagram, the parser callback events and the iterator
illustrations as inline SVGs that follow the light and dark scheme. The
generator scripts are in docs/mkdocs/scripts/figures; the feature slideshow
(json-light.svg, json-dark.svg, replacing json.gif on the home page) is built
by docs/mkdocs/scripts/slideshow. Decision nodes in five flowcharts become
hexagons, which need far less room.

* docs: add figures, table captions and a macro chooser
- Figures with numbered captions: SAX stepper, json_view layout and edit
stepper, exception map, JSON pointer and patch walkers, QA pipeline,
scaling and binary size charts, roadmap lanes, release timeline,
integration decision tree and namespace builder
- Table captions (nj-table-caption) on 9 pages
- Compile times: modules and PCH charts, filesystem section, re-measured
Figure 1, links between features/modules.md and compile_times.md
- Interactive macro chooser for features/arbitrary_types.md
- Link check: exclude URLs that answer the plugin with 400/401/419 or are
dead (customers.md)

* docs: macro chooser generates adl_serializer for non-default-constructible types
Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>
* docs: cross-link concept pages and API pages in See also sections
Add See also links in both directions between the concept pages (features,
home, integration) and the API pages, write API links in code font, give every
entry a comment after a dash, and show the callback event figure on the parser
callbacks page.

* docs: address review comments on the new design
- Home: add a "Latest release" button
- Sponsors: update the list and group it by tier
- Features: list all feature pages on the index page
- Releases: add highlights per release, link the 4.0 roadmap, add the first commit to the timeline
- Exceptions: prefix all example messages with the exception name
- API: no code font for format names in the See also links of the to_/from_ pages
- Merge Patch: show the document before, the patch, and the result
- Replace "--" with typographic dashes, mark external links with an icon, center Mermaid diagrams

- Make the iterator range illustrations legible in dark mode (prefers-color-scheme
rules inside the SVGs).
- Add a "Byte layout" section with a color-coded byte table to each binary format
page (BJData, BON8, BSON, CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON), and highlight the smallest
size per file in the comparison table.
- Add "See also" sections to the overview pages that lacked one.
- Split the release notes into one page per release, grouped by minor version on
the overview page, with an "API changes" section per release generated from the
API pages' version histories (hooks/api_changes.py).
- Fact-check the release notes and version histories against the release tags and
correct wrong or misleading entries (e.g., json_serializer 2.1.0, merge_patch
3.1.0, items, count, operator[], to_bjdata, std::string_view key support).

* docs: add 89 customers and sort all sections
Extend the customers page from 136 to 225 entries. New entries were
found by searching vendor open-source notices and by inspecting
dependency manifests in public repositories.
Every added entry was verified to link either to a page that credits
the library, or to an open source repository where its use is directly
visible (a vendored copy, a build manifest, or an include). Candidates
whose only evidence was a transitive dependency (via ICU or
KDDockWidgets), packaging metadata, or an unused vendored file were
dropped rather than listed.
Also sort every section alphabetically ignoring case, and keep the
Peregrine lunar lander first under "Space Exploration".

* docs: add 41 customers and rebuild the overview image
The list was assembled by searching for names one at a time, which is why it
had plateaued. These additions come from enumerating instead: a public code
search returning every repository that references the library, and the reverse
build-dependencies of the Debian and Ubuntu source indices.
Every addition cites a first-party call site rather than a repository root,
and every evidence URL was checked to resolve. Several prominent candidates
were rejected on exactly that test:
- Node.js reaches the library only through deps/icu-small, the inherited
attribution ICU carries into everything that ships it.
- Visual Studio Code's only hits are copies of the library's own headers
used as sample C++ in the Copilot extension's test fixtures.
- OSS-Fuzz fuzzes the library rather than calling it; projects/json/ is the
library's own OSS-Fuzz integration.
- libuv matched only its AUTHORS file, which lists a contributor by name.
- simdjson and LLVM matched only benchmarks and a mangled-symbol test.
Two entries were already present under a different name and are merged rather
than duplicated: PrestoDB, and DB Browser for SQLite under its repository name.
GitHub CodeQL's citation moves from the repository root to shared/cpp/Diagnostics.h,
which includes the header directly.
The image is rebuilt with 236 logos over 17 rows. It is smaller than the one it
replaces, 1.02 MB against 1.35 MB, despite carrying 100 more marks.
