Niels Lohmann ec6eab43ce Check the CSV file and the round count in the json_view benchmarks
fopen() of the CSV output was not checked, so an unwritable directory made
fprintf() write to a null FILE*; the round count is parsed with strtol and
clamped instead of atoi.

Niels Lohmann 583006de35 Make the downloads of json_view's compare.py robust
Hash the archives in chunks instead of reading them into memory, download
with a timeout, extract into a temporary directory that is renamed into
place only after success (a half-extracted directory was trusted forever),
and split CXX and CC into arguments so that values like 'ccache g++' work.
Note at the pins that a SHA-256 mismatch of a GitHub tag archive means
that GitHub regenerated it.

Niels Lohmann 3359c8c74e Compare json_view with yyjson, simdjson, and Boost.JSON
tests/benchmarks/json_view/ holds a comparison with other
libraries, answering the question users ask when they pick one.
It is not built by CMake and not run by CI.

- bench_view.cpp: parse, traverse, select and dump of twitter,
  citm_catalog, canada, jeopardy, a tweet and an RPC request,
  against json_view, yyjson, simdjson, Boost.JSON and json::parse,
  all agreeing and run interleaved.
- bench_corpus.cpp: parse, traverse and dump of any file list.
- bench_edit.cpp: parses, edits through each library's own API,
  and serializes; all outputs must describe the same value.
- compare.py: builds both programs with system or pinned,
  SHA-256-checked downloads, and writes results with the commit,
  CPU, OS, compiler and library versions.
- README.md and a workflow that runs on demand or via a PR label.

Fairness fixes folded in: each engine runs once untimed before
each timed round, so the next one no longer pays for the
previous one's cleanup; dump is also compared with source numbers
against yyjson's raw-number mode; a "simdjson DOM (fresh)" column
and a reused-document column for json_view were added;
compare.py's paths are absolute; downloads use a .part file and a
failed checksum removes the archive.

Niels Lohmann 5c1decb42f Split the value and pointer edit tests off unit-json_view_edit.cpp
The MinGW linker of the Windows clang jobs cannot link object files with more
than 32767 sections ("relocation truncated to fit: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32

dump instantiates more code for editable documents, so its test cases "views
and values", "deeply nested values", "pointers below a null value", and
"strings of other documents are checked" move into
unit-json_view_edit_values.cpp. The helper exception_of_call() that both
files use moves into json_view_test_helpers.hpp.

Niels Lohmann dc6397a8ea Fix out-of-bounds read when dumping a float token of an unchecked image
A float node of an image loaded with image_check::bounds can hold a
token whose bytes are not digits, so its value need not have the digit
count recorded in the node. write_double_at() passed that count to
write_short_decimal(), which indexes its table of powers of ten by it:
an assertion failure in debug builds, an out-of-bounds read in release
builds. Use the counted overload only if the value has exactly that many
digits, otherwise count them.

Niels Lohmann 6723b8e7ef Write json_view's dump() without a call or conversion per token
The default dump() (no indentation, no ensure_ascii) gets its own
writer that makes the same walk and produces the same output:

- the write position stays in a local variable instead of a
  member, so the compiler keeps it in a register across stores
  through aliasing char pointers;
- strings and number tokens are copied with fixed-size 32-byte
  moves wherever enough source bytes remain, instead of one
  memcpy call per token;
- the innermost open container lives in local variables; a stack
  that starts as a local array of 32 entries holds the rest;
- unedited documents are walked through the node array in order,
  and integer tokens are read from the source directly.

On top of that, float tokens of at most 15 significant digits are
written straight from their digits via zmij::to_shortest() and
write_shortest(), without converting to a double and back: such
decimals are farther apart than a double's rounding interval, so
the token's digits are the double's shortest digits. Tokens of
16+ digits, or edited values, still go through decimal_to_float().
The view's own NEON write_decimal() is removed in favor of the
shared writer, and the dump output now grows in 64 KiB steps
instead of being resized to its estimate at once.

Niels Lohmann 4d4a4dc560 Check each distinct string and float range once in the full image check
The full check scanned the contents of every string node and every float token over its own range, so many nodes pointing to one large range made load() quadratic. The structural walk now only collects the ranges; after it, each kind is sorted and checked once per distinct range. Ranges of one kind that overlap without being identical are rejected, as save() never writes them (nodes that share a value share the whole range). The cost is linear in the size of the image plus sorting the ranges.

Niels Lohmann aea8e84df0 Add images of json_documents: save() and load()
An image is a document stored so that loading it needs no
parsing: save() writes the node index, the text and the decoded
strings; the static load() reads an image written by save().

load() takes a pointer and size, a borrowed vector, or an owned
rvalue vector; the nodes are copied so they are aligned and can
be edited, while the text and decoded strings stay in the image.

image_check controls how much load() trusts the input: full
checks structure, bounds, strings and numbers, the parser's own
guarantees; bounds checks structure and bounds only; none skips
all checks, for images from a trusted source.

Layout is little-endian only ("NJVI" header, nodes, text, decoded
strings), following the idea of zero-copy formats such as
FlatBuffers and YaFF; the check follows FlatBuffers' Verifier.

New errors: parse_error.116 for a malformed image or a failed
check, type_error.320 for a discarded document or a big-endian
target.

A dedicated fuzzer and 6,000 seeded corruptions, checked under
ASan/UBSan, found and fixed two gaps: unchecked reserved header
fields, and unbounded null/boolean offsets that could make
dump() throw std::length_error.

Niels Lohmann 99896ea728 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.

Niels Lohmann 3fdb47b0ba 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.

afterward the extent of the replaced value no longer matters. Nodes that

Niels Lohmann a8c98b7d02 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.

Niels Lohmann 923a7f457b 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().

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.

Niels Lohmann a63e8fc5a8 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.

Niels Lohmann 1f4822e430 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.

every lookup scanned the whole object (1.6 to 3.4 times slower for small

Niels Lohmann d366489a83 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.

Niels Lohmann 47b7a05b9d 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.

Niels Lohmann da84d2a513 Select the Zmij conversion by a trait, not by the double overload
The non-template overloads for double asserted binary64 doubles wherever json.hpp was included, so the library no longer compiled where double is not IEEE 754 binary64 (AVR, -fshort-double). A trait now picks Zmij for any binary64 type, including a long double of that format (MSVC, Apple Arm), and Grisu2 for the others. Remove the unused write_short_decimal, powers_of_ten_16, zmij::decimal, zmij::to_decimal, and shortest_digits(double).

Niels Lohmann 32092c79a5 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 b5aa90a301 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.

## Debugging
### `nlohmann_json.natvis`
The [Natvis](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/create-custom-views-of-native-objects) file that
gives `json` values a friendly view in the Visual Studio debugger. The file is generated by
`tools/generate_natvis/generate_natvis.py` from the template `tools/generate_natvis/nlohmann_json.natvis.j2` and the ABI
tags and version in `include/nlohmann/detail/abi_macros.hpp`; change the script or the template rather than editing
the file by hand. The file can be updated by calling
```shell
make natvis
```
The "Check amalgamation" workflow fails if the file is out of date.
The file covers the namespace variants with up to two ABI tags. A Natvis file for other configurations can be
generated with the `--abi-tags` or `--all` options, for example
`make natvis NATVIS_ARGS="--abi-tags _diag,_dp,_vns --output my_nlohmann_json.natvis"`; see
[`tools/generate_natvis`](tools/generate_natvis/README.md). With MSVC, CMake adds the file to the `nlohmann_json`
target and installs it.

If the source text repeats a key, `count()` returns more than `#!cpp 1` for it, even though the

Unlike [`BasicJsonType::count()`](../basic_json/count.md), whose return value can in principle exceed `#!cpp 1` for
an `ObjectType` that allows multiple entries per key, `count()` here never does: it is exactly
[`contains()`](contains.md) as `#!cpp 0`/`#!cpp 1`. This holds even if the source text has a duplicate key -- see the

That path is relative to the root of the view's subtree, because `materialize()` builds only the subtree (with parent
pointers): it is empty if the failing value is the subtree's root itself, and it never is the path within the whole
document.

# JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN
```cpp
#define JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN /* value */
```
When defined to `1`, parsing from a `#!cpp std::istream` reads the input one character at a time through the stream
buffer, as in version 3.12.0 and earlier, instead of scanning the characters that the stream buffer already holds in
bulk.
The macro is an escape hatch for stream buffers that do not follow the usual contract of `std::basic_streambuf` (see
the requirements on the stream buffer in the notes below). It does not change any result: values, exceptions, and the
position of the stream after parsing are the same either way. Only the speed differs.
## Default definition
The default value is `0`: streams are scanned in bulk.
```cpp
#define JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN 0
```
## Notes
!!! note "How streams are scanned"
A `std::streambuf` keeps the part of the input it has read but not yet handed out in its *get area*, the range
from `gptr()` to `egptr()`. A `std::filebuf`, for instance, reads the file in blocks of a few kilobytes into its get
area, and a `std::stringbuf` exposes its whole string as one get area.
When parsing from a `std::istream`, the parser scans this get area directly, with the same fast paths that it uses
for a `std::string`: runs of ordinary string characters, numbers, and indentation are recognized several bytes at a
time instead of being requested from the stream buffer one character at a time. When the parser reaches the end of
the get area, it asks the stream buffer for the next character as before, which makes the stream buffer refill its
get area.
The parser only reads characters that it would also have read one at a time, and it advances the stream buffer
exactly over the characters it consumes. Nothing is read ahead, buffered elsewhere, or put back. Therefore, the
stream is left exactly where it was left before:
- [`operator>>`](../operator_gtgt.md) and [`sax_parse`](../basic_json/sax_parse.md) with `strict = false` can still
read several values from one stream, and the stream can still be used with other `std::istream` functions after a
value has been read.
- With [`JSON_PRECISE_STREAM_POSITION`](json_precise_stream_position.md), the stream is still positioned right after
a parsed number.
- Exception messages, including the line, the column, and the last read token, are unchanged.
!!! note "Performance"
Parsing from a `std::ifstream` or `std::istringstream` is typically 1.5 to 2 times as fast as before, and reading
many small values from one stream with `operator>>` 1.4 to 4 times as fast. Parsing from a stream is then within
about 10 to 20 % of first reading the whole file into a `std::string` and parsing that.
A stream buffer without a get area (one that only overrides `underflow()` and `uflow()` and hands out every
character from there) offers nothing to scan in bulk, so it is read one character at a time as before.
!!! note "Requirements on the stream buffer"
The bulk scan relies on the following behavior, which every stream buffer of the standard library and every stream
buffer that keeps its input in its get area has:
- When `sgetc()` returns a character while `gptr() < egptr()`, that character is `*gptr()`; when `sbumpc()` returns
one, it was at `gptr()` before the call.
- Characters in the get area are not changed while they are in the get area.
- `underflow()` or `uflow()` either sets up a get area that holds the returned character at `gptr()` (or at
`gptr() - 1` after `uflow()`), or leaves the get area empty.
A stream buffer that returns characters from `uflow()` while leaving unrelated characters in its get area, or that
changes the characters in its get area in place, does not meet these requirements. Define the macro to `1` for
such stream buffers.
!!! note "ABI compatibility"
The value of this macro is encoded in the [namespace](../../features/namespace.md) (tag `_dsbs`), resulting in
distinct symbol names. Translation units compiled with and without it can therefore be linked into the same program
without One Definition Rule (ODR) violations, but they cannot exchange instances of library types.
!!! note "Other inputs"
Strings, string views, vectors, arrays, and pointer or iterator ranges over contiguous memory are scanned in bulk
anyway. Reading from a `#!cpp FILE*` is not affected by this macro; see
[`JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO`](json_disable_unlocked_file_io.md) for that input.
## Examples
??? example "Example: reading values from a stream (default)"
The stream is scanned in bulk, and the values are read one after the other:
```cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
std::istringstream input(R"({"id": 1} {"id": 2} 42 rest)");
json j1, j2, j3;
input >> j1 >> j2 >> j3; // {"id":1}, {"id":2}, 42
std::string word;
input >> word; // "rest"
}
```
??? example "Example: reading one character at a time (macro defined to 1)"
With the macro, the same program reads the stream one character at a time, with the same results:
```cpp
#define JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN 1
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
std::istringstream input(R"({"id": 1} {"id": 2} 42 rest)");
json j1, j2, j3;
input >> j1 >> j2 >> j3; // {"id":1}, {"id":2}, 42
std::string word;
input >> word; // "rest"
}
```

# JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO
```cpp
#define JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO /* value */
```
When defined to `1`, parsing from a `#!cpp FILE*` reads every character with `std::fgetc`, as in version 3.12.0 and
earlier, instead of locking the file once and reading it with the unlocked stdio functions.
It does not change any result: values, exceptions, and the position of the file after parsing are the same either way.
Only the speed and the locking of the file differ (see the notes on locking below).
Builds with MemorySanitizer use `std::fgetc` automatically, because the inline `getc_unlocked` of glibc reads the stdio
buffer directly, which glibc (not instrumented) filled, and MemorySanitizer would report it as uninitialized.
## Default definition
The default value is `0`: the file is locked once and read with the unlocked stdio functions where they are available.
```cpp
#define JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO 0
```
## Notes
!!! note "Background"
The C standard library makes every `std::fgetc` call thread-safe by locking and unlocking the `FILE` object. When
parsing from a `FILE*`, the parser reads one character at a time, so this happens for every character of the input.
Instead, the parser locks the file once when parsing starts and unlocks it when parsing ends - also when an
exception is thrown - and reads the characters in between without locking:
| C library | functions |
|------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
| glibc (Linux), Apple (macOS, iOS), Android, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD | `flockfile`, `getc_unlocked`, `funlockfile` (POSIX) |
| Microsoft (MSVC, clang-cl) | `_lock_file`, `_fgetc_nolock`, `_unlock_file` |
| others (e.g., musl, MinGW, newlib) | `std::fgetc`, as before |
This makes parsing from a `FILE*` 3 to 4 times as fast with the Apple C library and 1.1 to 1.3 times as fast with
glibc, whose locking is cheaper. The binary formats ([`from_cbor`](../basic_json/from_cbor.md),
[`from_msgpack`](../basic_json/from_msgpack.md), ...) read from a `FILE*` the same way.
!!! note "Locking"
While a value is parsed from a `FILE*`, the parsing thread holds the file's lock. The lock is recursive, so the
parsing thread itself - for instance, a [SAX](../json_sax/index.md) handler or a
[parser callback](../basic_json/parser_callback_t.md) - can keep using the file with stdio functions such as
`std::ftell`. Other threads that use the same `FILE` object wait until the parser is done. Before, they could
interleave their reads with the parser's, which made the parsed input unpredictable anyway.
A program in which a SAX handler or parser callback waits for **another** thread that uses the **same** `FILE`
object would deadlock. Define the macro to `1` for such programs.
!!! note "ABI compatibility"
The value of this macro is encoded in the [namespace](../../features/namespace.md) (tag `_dufio`), resulting in
distinct symbol names. Translation units compiled with and without it can therefore be linked into the same program
without One Definition Rule (ODR) violations, but they cannot exchange instances of library types.
!!! note "Other inputs"
Reading from a `#!cpp std::istream` is not affected by this macro; see
[`JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN`](json_disable_stream_bulk_scan.md) for that input.
## Examples
??? example "Example: parsing from a `FILE*` (default)"
The file is locked once while it is parsed:
```cpp
#include <cstdio>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
std::FILE* f = std::fopen("example.json", "rb");
json j = json::parse(f); // f is locked until parse() returns
std::fclose(f);
}
```
??? example "Example: locking for every character (macro defined to 1)"
With the macro, every character is read with `std::fgetc`, with the same result:
```cpp
#define JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO 1
#include <cstdio>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
std::FILE* f = std::fopen("example.json", "rb");
json j = json::parse(f); // std::fgetc for every character
std::fclose(f);
}
```

# JSON_NO_SIMD
```cpp
#define JSON_NO_SIMD
```
When defined, the library uses only portable C++ code where it would otherwise use vector instructions: when scanning
strings during parsing, and when writing floating-point numbers during serialization.
The macro is an escape hatch, for example for toolchains that cannot compile the vector code, for sanitizers or
analyzers that do not understand it, or to compare the speed of both variants. It does not change any result: values,
exceptions, and error positions are the same either way. Only the speed differs.
## Default definition
By default, `#!cpp JSON_NO_SIMD` is not defined, and vector instructions are used where the target has them.
```cpp
#undef JSON_NO_SIMD
```
## Notes
!!! note "Which instructions are used"
- **x86-64:** SSE2, which every x86-64 CPU has, finds the end of runs of plain string characters 16 bytes at a time
and writes the digits of floating-point numbers. The UTF-8 check of non-ASCII text needs SSSE3, which is not part
of x86-64: it is compiled for SSSE3 with a function attribute and used when the CPU has SSSE3 (every x86-64 CPU
since about 2011), else the portable check. Code compiled for SSSE3 anyway (e.g., with `-mssse3` or `-march=native`)
skips this check of the CPU. 32-bit x86 uses SSE2 for strings when the compiler targets it.
- **AArch64:** NEON, which every 64-bit Arm CPU has, checks UTF-8 text and long runs of plain string characters 16
bytes at a time, and writes the digits of floating-point numbers. With MSVC, only the floating-point digits use
NEON.
- **Other targets:** portable code only.
Strings are only scanned this way for contiguous input and for the characters a `#!cpp std::istream` holds in its
stream buffer (see [`JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN`](json_disable_stream_bulk_scan.md)); other inputs are read one
character at a time.
!!! note "Interaction with `JSON_USE_SIMDUTF`"
With [`JSON_USE_SIMDUTF`](json_use_simdutf.md), runs of string characters are first validated by simdutf; the code
described here is used for what simdutf does not accept, so that errors are reported at the same position.
`JSON_NO_SIMD` does not affect simdutf.
!!! note "ABI compatibility"
The macro selects between two definitions of the library's internal scanning and formatting functions. Whether it
is defined is encoded in the [namespace](../../features/namespace.md) (tag `_ns`), resulting in distinct symbol
names. Translation units compiled with and without it can therefore be linked into the same program without One
Definition Rule (ODR) violations, but they cannot exchange instances of library types.
## Examples
??? example "Example: switching off vector instructions"
The program parses and serializes the same values with and without the macro:
```cpp
#define JSON_NO_SIMD
#include <iostream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
const json j = json::parse(R"({"name": "日本語 text", "pi": 3.141592653589793})");
std::cout << j.dump() << '\n'; // {"name":"日本語 text","pi":3.141592653589793}
}
