Move the std::vector<std::byte> tests to unit-custom-binary-type-cpp17.cpp

The develop merge kept the test case that #5809 moved from unit-regression3.cpp in unit-custom-binary-type.cpp, but byte_binary_json is only defined in the C++17 file now, so the C++17 build of the former failed. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

+
+Creates a [JSON Merge Patch](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396) so that value `source` can be changed into the value
+`target` by calling the [`merge_patch`](merge_patch.md) function. The patch contains only what differs: changed and
+added members with their new values, and removed members with the value `#!json null`. Nested objects are compared
+member by member; any other value that differs, including an array, is replaced as a whole.
+
+For two JSON values `source` and `target`, where `target` contains no object member whose value is `#!json null`, the
+following code always yields `#!cpp true` (for [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), see the notes below):
+```cpp
+basic_json patched = source;
+patched.merge_patch(merge_diff(source, target));
+patched == target;
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+`source` (in)
+:   JSON value to compare from
+
+`target` (in)
+:   JSON value to compare against
+
+## Return value
+
+a JSON Merge Patch to convert the `source` to `target`
+
+## Exception safety
+
+Strong guarantee: `source` and `target` are never modified.
+
+## Complexity
+
+Linear in the total number of values (including nested ones) in `source` and `target`, times the cost of a key-based
+object operation (looking up a key, or adding one to the patch): logarithmic for [`json`](../json.md), and linear for
+[`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md) (see [`ordered_map` complexity](../ordered_map.md#complexity)). For
+`ordered_json`, diffing two objects with `n` and `m` members therefore takes O((n+m)²).
+
+## Notes
+
+- A merge patch uses `#!json null` to remove a member, so it cannot set a member to `#!json null`. As in RFC 7396, a
+  `#!json null` member of `target` is treated as absent: the patch removes the member from `source` instead of setting
+  it to `#!json null`. A member that is `#!json null` in both `source` and `target` is unchanged and left out of the
+  patch, so `source` keeps it.
+- A merge patch cannot reorder object members, and [`merge_patch`](merge_patch.md) appends added members at the end.
+  For [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), the patched value therefore has the same members as `target`, but not
+  necessarily in the same order, and may compare unequal to it. The patch lists changed and removed members in the
+  order of `source`, followed by added members in the order of `target`.
+
+## Examples

+# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>erase
+
+```cpp
+// (1)
+std::size_t erase(view_type object, string_view_t key);
+
+// (2)
+template<typename I>
+void erase(view_type array, I idx);
+

+```
+
+Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
+has `erase`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).
+
+1. Removes every member of `object` whose key is `key` (see [Notes](#notes) on duplicate keys) and returns how many
+   were removed; `#!cpp 0` if `object` has no member with this key.
+2. Removes the element at index `idx` of `array`, which must already exist (`#!cpp idx < array.size()`).
+3. Removes the value the JSON pointer `ptr` refers to, relative to [`root()`](root.md). `ptr` must not be empty
+   ([`root()`](root.md) itself cannot be erased), and the *parent* of the target must already exist. The target is
+   removed as in 1. if the parent is an object (returns the number of removed members, `#!cpp 0` or more) and as in 2.
+   if it is an array (always returns `#!cpp 1`).
+
+## Template parameters
+
+`I`
+:   an integral type other than `#!cpp bool`, deduced (overloads taking a `#!cpp bool` or a non-integral type for
+    `idx` do not participate in overload resolution).
+
+## Parameters
+
+`object` (in)
+:   the object to remove a member of
+
+`array` (in)
+:   the array to remove an element of
+
+`key` (in)
+:   the key of the member(s) to remove
+
+`idx` (in)
+:   the index of the element to remove; a negative value throws (see [Exceptions](#exceptions))
+
+`ptr` (in)
+:   a JSON pointer to the value to remove, relative to `root()`
+
+## Return value
+
+1. the number of removed members (`#!cpp 0` if `object` had none with this `key`)
+2. (nothing)
+3. the number of removed values (`#!cpp 0` or more for an object member, always `#!cpp 1` for an array element)
+
+## Exceptions
+
+1. Throws [`type_error.307`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error307) if `object` is not an object -- the
+   same message [`BasicJsonType::erase`](../basic_json/erase.md) throws for the same type.
+2. Throws `type_error.307` if `array` is not an array. Throws
+   [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `idx` is negative, or if
+   `#!cpp idx >= array.size()`.
+3. Throws [`out_of_range.405`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range405) ("JSON pointer has no parent")
+   if `ptr` is empty. Throws what [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md) throws (overload 3) for resolving `ptr`'s parent.
+   For the last reference token itself: if the parent is an array, throws what 2. throws for an index that is out of
+   range, or, for a token that is not a valid array index,
+   [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) (a leading `#!cpp '0'`),
+   [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) (not a number),
+   [`out_of_range.410`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range410) (too large for `size_type`), or
+   [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) (an empty token); otherwise (an
+   object, or a primitive value the pointer's parent resolves to) throws what 1. throws.
+
+Overloads 1. and 2. also throw [`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202)
+("view does not belong to this document") if `object`/`array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md)
+view or a view of a *different* document. Overload 3. never throws `invalid_iterator.202`: it takes no view, and it
+always starts from this document's own [`root()`](root.md).
+
+## Complexity
+
+1. Linear in the number of members of `object`.
+2. Linear in the number of elements of `array` at or after `idx` (they move one slot over).
+3. Linear in the number of reference tokens of `ptr` and, for each token, in the number of members of the object at
+   that level or the index into the array (as [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md)), plus the complexity of 1. or 2. for
+   the last token.
+
+## Notes
+
+!!! info "Duplicate keys"
+
+    Overload 1. removes *every* member with `key`, not just the first -- unlike [`set`](set.md), which assigns the
+    first occurrence and drops the rest. This is why it returns a count rather than a single view: there may be
+    more than one member removed, or none.
+
+Like [`set`](set.md) and [`push_back`](push_back.md), `erase` never moves an element's *value*: a view still
+referring to a removed member or element keeps showing what it last held (see [Edits](index.md#edits)) -- it just no
+longer appears when `array`/`object` is read, dumped, or iterated. What does change is the container's sequence of
+*links* to its elements: removing an element of `array` (2.) shifts the links to the elements after it by one, as
+[`insert`](insert.md) does in the other direction. *Every* iterator already taken over `array`/`object` is invalidated
+by an erase, not only those at or after the removed element, since the container may now use a different sequence.
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example
+
+    The example below drops a deprecated field and a decommissioned entry from a configuration document -- using all
+    three overloads -- and shows what stays intact that would not with a plain `json`/`ordered_json` value: the order
+    of the fields around the ones removed, and the exact spelling of a number that was never touched.

+- **A view keeps referring to the same value.** After [`set`](set.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()`](../basic_json_view/get_string.md) stays valid even
+  as further edits happen (earlier buffers of edited text are kept alive, not overwritten).
+- **Values are accepted three ways:** a [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) of *any* document
+  (read-only or editable; it is copied, nothing is shared with the source document), a `BasicJsonType` value, or
+  anything `BasicJsonType` can be constructed from (numbers, strings, `#!cpp bool`, `#!cpp nullptr`, containers, ...).
+- [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) writes an edited document with members in document order, new members at
+  the end, and, with [`number_format::source`](../basic_json_view/number_format.md), keeps the spelling of every
+  number that was not itself edited -- see [Editing a document](../../features/json_view.md#editing-a-document) for
+  why this matters.
+- [`read()`](read.md) discards all edits, [`shrink_to_fit()`](shrink_to_fit.md) does not move the node index once
+  there are edits, and [`memory_usage()`](memory_usage.md) includes the memory edits use.

+has `insert`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).

+Inserts `value` into `array` as a new element before position `idx`, which must not be past the end
+(`#!cpp idx <= array.size()`; `#!cpp idx == array.size()` appends, like [`push_back`](push_back.md)). Unlike
+[`push_back`](push_back.md), a [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) `array` does *not* first become an empty array:
+`array` must already be an array.
+
+`value` is accepted three ways: a [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) of *any* document -- read-only or
+editable, and it does not have to be `array`'s own document -- which is copied so that nothing is shared with the
+source document afterward; a `BasicJsonType` value; or anything `BasicJsonType` can be constructed from (numbers,
+strings, `#!cpp bool`, `#!cpp nullptr`, containers, ...).
+
+## Template parameters
+
+`I`
+:   an integral type other than `#!cpp bool`, deduced (overloads taking a `#!cpp bool` or a non-integral type for
+    `idx` do not participate in overload resolution).
+
+`V`
+:   the type of `value`, deduced; see above for what is accepted.
+
+## Parameters
+
+`array` (in)
+:   the array to insert into
+
+`idx` (in)
+:   the position to insert `value` before; a negative value throws (see [Exceptions](#exceptions))
+
+`value` (in)
+:   the value to insert
+
+## Return value
+
+a view of the new element, now holding `value`
+
+## Exception safety
+
+Basic exception safety: `value` is fully encoded -- including the checks below -- into storage owned by the document
+before anything already reachable from [`root()`](root.md) is touched, so a failure while encoding `value` (an
+invalid argument, or `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`) leaves the document completely unchanged, other than memory allocated
+for the encoding that is not reclaimed. A failure of a later allocation -- while `array` switches from its parsed
+layout to a growable block, or while that block grows, see [Notes](#notes) -- can still leave `array` already
+switched to that layout even though `value` itself was not inserted.
+
+## Exceptions
+
+Throws [`type_error.309`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error309) if `array` is not an array -- the same
+message [`BasicJsonType::insert`](../basic_json/insert.md) throws for the same type; a null `array` throws this too
+(see above). Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `idx` is negative,
+or if `#!cpp idx > array.size()`. Throws
+[`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) ("view does not belong to this
+document") if `array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a view of a *different* document.
+Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if `value` is a
+[discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a [discarded](../basic_json/is_discarded.md) `BasicJsonType`
+value, and [`type_error.319`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error319) if `value` is (or contains) a
+binary value -- `BasicJsonType` can hold one, but a `json_document` cannot. Throws
+[`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316) if `value` is (or contains) a string that is
+not valid UTF-8, with the same message [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) gives for that string.
+
+## Complexity
+
+Linear in the number of elements of `array` at or after `idx` (they move one slot over), plus time linear in the
+size of `value` to encode it into the document's storage (constant for a scalar, linear in the number of nested
+values for an array or object): like [`push_back`](push_back.md), the elements of `array` move to a growable block
+of links the first time it is inserted into (or [`set`](set.md)/[`push_back`](push_back.md) on), and that block
+grows in amortized constant time; inserting before the end within that block still shifts every later element.
+
+## Notes
+
+Like [`set`](set.md) on a member or an element, `insert` never moves an existing *element's value* -- only where
+`array`'s *links* to its elements live -- so a view of an existing element of `array` stays valid across an
+`insert`, and keeps referring to the same element even though its index shifts. Any iterator already taken over
+`array` is invalidated, since it was walking the old layout. See [Edits](index.md#edits) for what stays valid across
+an edit in general.
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example
+
+    The example below inserts a step into the middle of a deployment plan, without touching the steps that come
+    after it, and shows that a view taken before the insert keeps referring to the same element even though its
+    index shifts -- something a plain `json`/`ordered_json` array, or its `std::vector`-based storage, has no
+    equivalent for.

+```
+
+1. Reads an image [`save()`](save.md) wrote, from a pointer and a byte count. The image is **borrowed**: `image`
+   must stay alive and unchanged for as long as the returned document, and any view taken from it, is used.
+2. Reads an image from a `#!cpp std::vector`. Also **borrowed** -- equivalent to overload 1 called with
+   `#!cpp image.data()` and `#!cpp image.size()`.
+3. Reads an image, keeping the vector instead of copying it: `image` is moved into the document (no copy), which
+   then owns it for as long as it needs the text and the decoded strings. [`owns_source()`](owns_source.md) is
+   `#!cpp true` afterward.
+
+In every overload, the node index is copied into storage the document itself owns -- so that it is properly aligned,
+and, for an [editable](index.md#edits) document, can be edited -- while the text and the decoded strings stay in
+`image`. The hash indexes [large objects](../../features/json_view.md) use for lookup are rebuilt, exactly as after
+parsing.
+
+## Parameters
+
+`image` (in)
+:   the image [`save()`](save.md) wrote (overloads 1 and 2), or one to take ownership of (overload 3)
+
+`size` (in)
+:   the number of bytes at `image` (overload 1)
+
+`check` (in)
+:   how thoroughly to validate `image` before trusting it; see [`image_check`](#image_check) below (optional,
+    `#!cpp image_check::full` by default)
+
+## Return value
+
+The document read from the image.
+
+## Exception safety
+
+Overloads 1 and 2 give the strong guarantee: `image` is only read, never written, so a thrown exception leaves the
+caller's buffer untouched.
+
+Overload 3 moves `image` into the document *before* validating it, so that a good image is kept without a copy. If
+loading then fails, the partially built document -- and the vector now inside it -- is discarded along with the
+exception, and `image` itself is left **empty**, not restored to what was passed in. Move a copy in instead, or
+validate with overload 2 first, if the original vector must survive a failed load.
+
+## Exceptions
+
+On a big-endian target, throws [`type_error.320`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error320) -- the same

+Linear in the number of nodes, which are always copied into the document. `#!cpp image_check::none` does not read
+the text or the decoded strings. `#!cpp image_check::bounds` reads one byte of the text for each float token (its sign,
+to check the recorded digits against the token's length), and nothing else of the text or the decoded strings.
+
+With `#!cpp image_check::full`, linear in the size of the image (the nodes, the text, and the decoded strings), plus
+sorting the ranges of the strings and of the float tokens (at most one per node): the contents of each distinct range
+are checked once, however many nodes refer to it.
+
+## Notes
+
+### `image_check` { #image_check }
+
+```cpp
+using image_check = detail::view::image_check;
+
+enum class image_check
+{
+    full,
+    bounds,
+    none
+};
+```
+
+How thoroughly `load()` validates `image` before trusting it.
+
+`full` (the default)
+:   Checks everything the parser itself guarantees: structure and bounds; that every string is valid UTF-8 (and, for a
+    string still in the source text, that it contains no quote, backslash, or control character); and that every number
+    token is well-formed and matches the value stored for it. Strings and float tokens may share a range only if the
+    ranges are identical (as nodes that share a value do), and never overlap otherwise. Reading and serializing a
+    checked image is safe and always produces valid JSON, exactly as for a parsed document. This is the right choice for
+    an image from anything you do not fully control -- a file, a cache shared with other processes, a peer on the
+    network.
+
+`bounds`
+:   Checks structure and bounds only: that every offset and count in the node index stays inside the image. So
+    `load()`, [`root()`](root.md), element access, and [`materialize()`](../basic_json_view/materialize.md) can never
+    read outside the image, even on a damaged one. It does *not* guarantee that the image describes valid JSON: a
+    string that a `full` check would have rejected can make [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) write invalid UTF-8
+    or invalid JSON, or throw [`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316), and a number can
+    read back with a value that does not match how it is spelled. An [editable document](../json_editable_document.md)
+    does not take such a string over: [`set`](set.md), [`push_back`](push_back.md) and [`insert`](insert.md) throw
+    `type_error.316` when they copy it from a view of the loaded document, and leave the editable document unchanged.
+    `bounds` skips scanning the text and the decoded strings, so it fits a cache your own process just wrote and reads
+    straight back, where damage would mean a bug or a hardware fault rather than adversarial input.
+
+`none`
+:   Checks nothing. Reading a damaged image is undefined behavior, so use it only for an image you trust as much as
+    your own memory.
+
+**Lifetime.** Overloads 1 and 2 borrow `image`: it must stay alive and byte-for-byte unchanged for as long as the
+returned document, and any [view](../basic_json_view/index.md) taken from it, is used -- exactly like a document
+[`parse()`](parse.md) borrowed its input for. Overload 3 avoids this by keeping the vector itself; see
+[`owns_source`](owns_source.md).
+
+!!! warning "Experimental"
+
+    The image format is versioned but not yet stable, and may change in an incompatible way before it is declared
+    stable; `load()` already rejects an image written by a different format version with `parse_error.116`
+    ("unknown format"). 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.
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example "Caching a document, ownership, and a rejected image"
+
+    The example below saves a parsed document as an image, checks that `load()` reproduces the original
+    [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) without parsing, and shows the difference between
+    `load(std::move(image))` (owned) and `load(image)` (borrowed). It then damages one byte of the image and shows
+    `image_check::full` rejecting it with `parse_error.116`, while `image_check::bounds` -- meant for a cache the
+    process already trusts -- still reads it without going out of bounds.
+
+    ```cpp
+    --8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__load.cpp"

+```cpp

+view_type push_back(view_type array, V&& value);

+
+Appends `value` as a new last element of `array`. A [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) `array` first becomes an
+empty array, the same way [`set`](set.md) turns a null `object` into an empty object.
+
+`value` is accepted three ways: a [`basic_json_view`](../basic_json_view/index.md) of *any* document -- read-only or
+editable, and it does not have to be `array`'s own document -- which is copied so that nothing is shared with the
+source document afterward; a `BasicJsonType` value; or anything `BasicJsonType` can be constructed from (numbers,

+
+Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))

+## Parameters
+
+`array` (in)

+`value` (in)
+:   the value to append
+
+## Return value
+
+a view of the new last element of `array`, now holding `value`
+
+## Exception safety
+
+Basic exception safety: `value` is fully encoded -- including the checks below -- into storage owned by the document
+before anything already reachable from [`root()`](root.md) is touched, so a failure while encoding `value` (an
+invalid argument, or `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`) leaves the document completely unchanged, other than memory allocated
+for the encoding that is not reclaimed. A failure of a later allocation -- while `array` switches from its parsed
+layout to a growable block, or while that block grows, see [Notes](#notes) -- can still leave a partial effect, such
+as a null `array` argument already turned into an empty array even though `value` itself was not appended.
+
+## Exceptions
+
+Throws [`type_error.308`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error308) if `array` is neither an array nor
+null -- the same message [`BasicJsonType::push_back`](../basic_json/push_back.md) throws for the same type. Throws
+[`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) ("view does not belong to this
+document") if `array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a view of a *different* document.

+[discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a [discarded](../basic_json/is_discarded.md) `BasicJsonType`
+value, and [`type_error.319`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error319) if `value` is (or contains) a

+[`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316) if `value` is (or contains) a string that is
+not valid UTF-8, with the same message [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) gives for that string.
+
+## Complexity
+
+Amortized constant, plus time linear in the size of `value` to encode it into the document's storage (constant for
+a scalar, linear in the number of nested values for an array or object): the elements of `array` move to a growable
+block of links the first time it is appended to (or [`set`](set.md) on), and that block itself grows -- doubling its
+capacity, so the cost of growing it amortizes to constant per element -- only once it runs out of room. See
+[Notes](#notes).
+
+## Notes
+
+Like [`set`](set.md) on a member or an element, `push_back` never moves an existing element itself -- only where
+`array`'s *links* to its elements live -- so a view of an existing element of `array` stays valid across a
+`push_back`, but any iterator already taken over `array` is invalidated, since it was walking the old layout. See
+[Edits](index.md#edits) for what stays valid across an edit in general.
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example
+
+    The example below appends records to an array one at a time, as they might arrive from a stream of events,
+    without ever building a `BasicJsonType` value for the array or for the records already in it, and shows that a
+    view taken from an earlier `push_back` still refers to the same element once later ones have run.

+:   the type of `value`, deduced; see above for what is accepted.
+
+`I`
+:   an integral type other than `#!cpp bool`, deduced (overloads taking a `#!cpp bool` or a non-integral type for
+    `idx` do not participate in overload resolution).
+
+## Parameters
+
+`target` (in)
+:   the value to replace
+
+`object` (in)
+:   the object (or null value) whose member to set
+
+`array` (in)
+:   the array whose element to assign
+
+`key` (in)
+:   the key of the member to set
+
+`idx` (in)
+:   the index of the element to assign; a negative value throws (see [Exceptions](#exceptions))
+
+`ptr` (in)
+:   a JSON pointer to the value to set, relative to `root()`
+
+`value` (in)
+:   the new value
+
+## Return value
+
+1. a view of `target`, now holding `value`
+2. a view of the member `key` of `object`, now holding `value`
+3. a view of the element `idx` of `array`, now holding `value`
+4. a view of the value `ptr` refers to, now holding `value`
+
+## Exception safety
+
+Basic exception safety: `value` is fully encoded -- including the checks below -- into storage owned by the document
+before anything already reachable from [`root()`](root.md) is touched, so a failure while encoding `value` (an
+invalid argument, or `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`) leaves the document completely unchanged, other than memory allocated
+for the encoding that is not reclaimed. A failure of a later allocation -- while an edited array or object switches
+from its parsed layout to a growable block, see [Notes](#notes) -- can still leave a partial effect, such as a
+[null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) `object`/`array` argument already turned into an empty object/array even
+though `value` itself was not linked in. Likewise, a failure of `value` in 4. leaves a null parent that is set with an
+index beyond 0 already filled with the null values before the index.
+
+## Exceptions
+
+1. Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if `value` is a
+   [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view, or a [discarded](../basic_json/is_discarded.md)
+   `BasicJsonType` value (e.g. `#!cpp BasicJsonType(value_t::discarded)`) -- an object or array `value`, of either
+   kind, is fine and is encoded as a whole subtree.
+2. Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if `object` is neither an object
+   nor null -- the same message [`operator[]`](../basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D.md) throws for a string argument on
+   such a value. Throws [`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316) if `key` is not
+   valid UTF-8, with the same message [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) gives for that string.
+   Also throws what 1. throws for `value`.
+3. Throws `type_error.305` if `array` is not an array -- the same message `operator[]` throws for a numeric argument
+   on such a value. Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `idx` is
+   negative, or if `#!cpp idx >= array.size()`. Also throws what 1. throws for `value`.
+4. Throws what [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md) throws (overload 3) for resolving `ptr`'s parent, except that a
+   missing object member or an array index equal to the array's size at the very last reference token is not an
+   error there (it becomes a new member or an appended element) instead of
+   [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403)/[`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402).
+   For the last reference token itself: if the parent is an object (or a primitive value, where it throws
+   `type_error.305`), throws what 2. throws; if the parent is an array, throws what 3. throws for an index that is
+   out of range, or, for a token that is not a valid array index,
+   [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) (a leading `#!cpp '0'`),
+   [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) (not a number),
+   [`out_of_range.410`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range410) (too large for `size_type`), or
+   [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) (an empty token); the same errors are
+   thrown for a null parent and a token of digits (the parent is not changed then), and
+   [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if the index is 4294967295 or more.
+   Also throws what 1. throws for `value`.
+
+Every overload also throws [`type_error.319`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error319) if `value` is (or
+contains) a binary value -- `BasicJsonType` can hold one, but a `json_document` cannot -- and
+[`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) ("view does not belong to this
+document") if `target`/`object`/`array` is a [discarded](../basic_json_view/is_discarded.md) view or a view of a
+*different* document (overloads 1-3 only; overload 4 always starts from this document's own [`root()`](root.md)).
+
+## Complexity
+
+1. Linear in the size of `value` (encoding it into the document's storage): constant for a scalar, linear in the
+   number of nested values for an array or object. If `target` is itself an array or object that spans more than one
+   node in its parent's original, unedited layout, and `value` is a scalar, replacing it additionally costs time
+   linear in the size of the document, the *first* time (the parent of `target` is looked up from
+   [`root()`](root.md), and then switches to links) -- see [Notes](#notes). Once the parent has links, `target` is
+   replaced in constant time: setting every element of a large array one after the other is linear overall. To avoid
+   the lookup altogether, use 3. (or 2. for an object), which know the parent.
+2. Linear in the number of members of `object`, to find an existing member with `key`, plus the complexity of 1. for
+   `value`.
+3. Constant, plus the complexity of 1. for `value`.
+4. Linear in the number of reference tokens of `ptr` and, for each token, in the number of members of the object at
+   that level or the index into the array (as [`at`](../basic_json_view/at.md)), plus the complexity of 2. or 3. for
+   the last token; for a null parent and an index, linear in the index.
+
+## Notes
+
+!!! info "Duplicate keys"
+
+    If `object` already has more than one member with `key` (2.), the *first* one is assigned `value` and every
+    later member with the same key is removed -- so that a lookup, an iteration, and
+    [`materialize()`](../basic_json_view/materialize.md) of `object` afterward all agree on a single value for
+    `key`, the same way [`operator[]`](../basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D.md) already picks the first occurrence of a
+    duplicate key for reading. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](../basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D.md#notes) of
+    `operator[]`.
+
+Setting a member (2.) or an element (3., through 4.) of an array or object whose elements have not been edited
+before switches it from its parsed layout to a growable block holding links to its elements; a later
+[`push_back`](push_back.md) or `set` on the same container reuses that block, growing it (amortized constant time)
+only once it runs out of room. This never moves an element itself -- only where the container's *links* to its
+elements live -- so a view of an element stays valid, but any iterator already taken over the container is
+invalidated, since it was walking the old layout. See [Edits](index.md#edits) for what stays valid across an edit in
+general.
+
+The same switch happens, for the same reason, when overload 1. replaces a multi-node array/object value with a
+scalar: the *parent's* element sequence is what has to switch to links, not `target` itself, because the parent
+originally stepped over `target`'s whole subtree by its node count, which no longer applies once `target` is a
+one-node scalar.
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example "Example: (1)/(2)/(3)/(4) replace a value, set a member, assign an element, set via a JSON pointer"
+
+    The example below edits a small configuration document -- replacing a value, adding an object member, assigning
+    an array element, and reaching a field through a JSON pointer -- and shows what
+    [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) preserves that is lost once the same edits are made on a `BasicJsonType`
+    value instead: the order object members were written in, and the exact spelling of a number that was never
+    touched.
+
+    ```cpp
+    --8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__set.cpp"
+    ```
+
+    Output:
+
+    ```json
+    --8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__set.output"
+    ```
