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>

-When fixing a bug, edit `unit-regression3.cpp` and add a section referencing the fixed issue. Tests that need C++17 or
-C++20 go into `unit-regression3-cpp17.cpp` or `unit-regression3-cpp20.cpp` instead, so the large file is not rebuilt

-To keep compile times down, several test files are compiled together as one translation unit. This sets a few rules

-[`tests`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/tests) folder for how the tests are built and what to keep in

-#
-# Like calling json_test_add_test_for(<file> MAIN <main> ...) for each of the
-# <files>, but compiles several files together to speed up the build: for each
-# C++ standard, the files are split into batches of <size> files (default: 8)
-# and each batch is built as a single executable
-#
-#     test-unity-<pool><index>_cpp<version_number>
-#
-# whose generated source file #include-s the files of the batch (so they share
-# the template instantiations of the library). The tests are still named
-# test-foo_cpp<version_number>, one per file, but run the batch executable with
-# a doctest filter that selects the test cases of that file only.
-#
-# Files are only batched with files that agree on the macros defined before
-# the library is included: files that define at most JSON_TESTS_PRIVATE (or
-# macros derived from global compile definitions) form the pools "plain" and
-# "private". All other files are added with json_test_add_test_for() as usual,
-# as are files with test-specific build settings (see
-# json_test_set_test_options()) and the files listed in the explicit
-# exclusion list below.
-# Each <group> names a list variable json_test_unity_group_<group> of test file
-# stems (file names without "unit-" and ".cpp"). The batchable files of a group
-# are compiled together (regardless of BATCH_SIZE) as one executable
-#
-#     test-unity-<group>_cpp<version_number>
-#
-# so that related tests, which instantiate the same templates, share one
-# translation unit. A group may mix the pools "plain" and "private"; if any of
-# its files needs JSON_TESTS_PRIVATE, the whole group is built with it. Files
-# that cannot be batched stay standalone even if they are listed in a group.
-# Files in no group are batched by BATCH_SIZE as described above.
-# <files> in VARIANT_FILES are also built standalone with other settings, so

-
-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).

-   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.

-
-An editable document (`#!cpp Editable == true`) can be changed after parsing, with [`set`](set.md),

-[`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md) and
-[`ordered_json_editable_document`](../ordered_json_editable_document.md) are the corresponding specializations. A few
-points apply to every edit:
-
- **The source text is never written**, and the parsed index never moves: every value keeps the node it was parsed
-  into, so [views](../basic_json_view/index.md) taken before an edit stay valid, including
-  [`root()`](root.md). New values (and the element sequences of an edited array/object) go to storage owned by the
-  document, allocated on demand.
- **A view keeps referring to the same value.** After [`set`](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.
-  [`source_offset()`](../basic_json_view/source_offset.md) of a value introduced by an edit is
-  `#!cpp static_cast<std::size_t>(-1)`, the same value it reports for a decoded string.

-    `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
-exception [`save()`](save.md#exceptions) throws there, since the image format is little-endian only.
-
-Otherwise throws [`parse_error.116`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error116) if `image` is not one
-`save()` could have written, or fails the requested `check`:
-
-| message               | when                                                                                                |
-|------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| `too short`            | `image` is `#!cpp nullptr`, or `size` is smaller than the 64-byte header                             |
-| `unknown format`       | the header's magic bytes or version do not match, or a reserved header field is not zero             |
-| `sizes out of range`   | the node count, text size, or decoded-string size the header describes does not fit `size`, or the `#!cpp '\0'` after the text or after the decoded strings is missing |
-| `the check failed`     | `check` is not `#!cpp image_check::none`, and the image fails it -- see [`image_check`](#image_check) |

-
-## Complexity
-
-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
-template<typename V>
-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,
-strings, `#!cpp bool`, `#!cpp nullptr`, containers, ...).
-
-Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
-has `push_back`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).
-
-## Template parameters
-
-`V`
-:   the type of `value`, deduced; see above for what is accepted.
-
-## Parameters
-
-`array` (in)
-:   the array (or null value) to append to
-
-`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.
-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
-
-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.

-
-```cpp
-std::vector<std::uint8_t> save() const;

-
-Writes the document as an *image*: a byte buffer that [`load`](load.md) reads back without parsing. The image holds
-the node index, the source text (plus, for an edited document, the number tokens edits wrote), and the decoded
-strings (plus the strings edits wrote) -- everything [`root()`](root.md) needs, with nothing left to parse.
-
-An edited document is written in its *current* state, with its values in document order, the way the library's own

-[`erase`](erase.md)d member leaves no trace, and a float that is not finite (NaN or positive/negative infinity)
-becomes null, the same substitution [`dump()`](../basic_json_view/dump.md) makes. The same document always saves to

-([16 bytes each](../../home/architecture.md#node-index-of-json-views)), the text and a `#!cpp '\0'`, and the decoded
-strings and a `#!cpp '\0'`. [`load`](load.md) checks the header, and the sizes it describes, before reading anything
-else -- see [`load`'s Exceptions](load.md#exceptions).
-
-!!! warning "Experimental"
-
-    The image format is versioned but not yet stable: it may change in an incompatible way before it is declared
-    stable. Use images to cache a document within one build of the library, or to hand one to another process running
-    the *same* build on the *same* (little-endian) machine -- not as a long-term storage format. Keep the original
-    JSON text if you need to read a saved document back with a future library version.
-
-**Little-endian only.** The image is written as raw little-endian bytes, with no byte-swapping. `save()` (and
-[`load`](load.md)) throw `type_error.320` on a big-endian target rather than silently produce bytes a big-endian
-reader could not interpret correctly.

-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

-*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.

-The difference between the two ways matters for a `from_json()` that sets only the fields present in the JSON: since

-them with those of a default-constructed `T`.

-# 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>

-# 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);
-    }

-## Editing a document
-
-Everything above is read-only: a `json_document`/`json_view` lets you look at a parsed text without copying it, but
-not change it. [`basic_json_document<BasicJsonType, true>`](../api/basic_json_document/index.md) -- more conveniently

-[`ordered_json_editable_document`](../api/ordered_json_editable_document.md) -- also lets you
-[`set`](../api/basic_json_document/set.md) a value, [`push_back`](../api/basic_json_document/push_back.md) onto or
-[`insert`](../api/basic_json_document/insert.md) into an array, and [`erase`](../api/basic_json_document/erase.md)
-an object member or an array element, still without ever building a `basic_json` tree for parts you do not touch.
-
-`#!cpp Editable` defaults to `#!cpp false`, so `json_document`/`ordered_json_document` are unaffected -- they carry
-none of the bookkeeping edits need, and calling `set`/`push_back`/`insert`/`erase` on one is a compile error, not a
-runtime one.
-
-### Why: editing without reformatting
-
-The `#!cpp 19.90` price from [above](#writing-a-view-back) is exactly the kind of value that makes editing a `json`
-or `ordered_json` value in place lossy. Say you parse a configuration file, patch one field, and write it back:
-
- **`json`** re-sorts every key on the way in (`object_t` is a `#!cpp std::map`) and rewrites every number to its
-  shortest round-trip form on the way out -- a one-field patch turns into a diff that reorders the whole file and
-  rewrites `#!cpp 19.90` to `#!cpp 19.9`.
- **`ordered_json`** keeps the key order, but still rewrites every number the same way: parsing has already reduced
-  it to a `#!cpp double`/`#!cpp int64_t`, and there is no way back to how it was spelled in the source text.
-
-An editable document keeps both. [`dump()`](../api/basic_json_view/dump.md) of an edited document writes members in
-document order -- a member [`set`](../api/basic_json_document/set.md) added goes at the end, exactly where it was
-inserted, and an [`erase`](../api/basic_json_document/erase.md)d member simply leaves a gap: everything around it
-keeps its place -- and [`number_format::source`](../api/basic_json_view/number_format.md) keeps the exact spelling
-of every number an edit did not itself touch; a number an edit *did* touch is written the way
-[`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../api/basic_json/dump.md) would write it, since there is no source spelling for a brand
-new value.

-    ```json
-    --8<-- "examples/json_editable_document.output"
-    ```
-
-### What stays valid, and what an edit costs
-
-The source text itself is **never written**, and the parsed index never moves -- a value keeps the node it was
-parsed into for as long as it is not itself replaced. So every [view](../api/basic_json_view/index.md) taken before
-an edit, including a previously obtained [`root()`](../api/basic_json_document/root.md), stays valid and, if it
-still refers to the edited value, sees the edit; a view of a value a later edit drops or replaces just keeps showing
-what it last held. New values go to storage the document allocates and owns on demand. The one thing an edit does
-invalidate is the **iterators** taken over an edited array or object: the first time one of its elements is set,
-appended to, inserted into, or erased, its elements move from the parsed, fixed layout to a growable block of links
-so that [`push_back`](../api/basic_json_document/push_back.md) can later grow it in amortized constant time --
-existing elements are not touched, but an iterator that was walking the old layout no longer matches. A string
-obtained with
-[`get_string()`](../api/basic_json_view/get_string.md) is unaffected either way and stays valid across further
-edits. See [`basic_json_document`'s Edits](../api/basic_json_document/index.md#edits) for the details, and
-[`set`'s Exception safety](../api/basic_json_document/set.md#exception-safety) for what an edit guarantees if it
-throws (the *basic* guarantee, not the strong one `dump()` and the read-only functions provide). How edits are kept in
-the index is described in the [architecture overview](../home/architecture.md#node-index-of-json-views).
-
-## Images
-
-[`save()`](../api/basic_json_document/save.md) writes a document as an *image*: a byte buffer that
-[`load()`](../api/basic_json_document/load.md) reads back into a document without parsing -- no lexing, no building
-the node index, nothing but copying the nodes and pointing the text and the decoded strings at the image. Where
-[`parse_copy()`](../api/basic_json_document/parse_copy.md) still has to scan the whole input,
-[`load()`](../api/basic_json_document/load.md) turns that scan into a copy of the node index alone.
-
-**Why.** A document that is parsed once and then read many times -- a configuration loaded at startup, a template
-rendered on every request, a large reference dataset a worker process needs in memory -- pays for parsing once but
-can amortize [`save()`](../api/basic_json_document/save.md)'s cost across every later load. That makes images useful
-for a cache: save a document the first time it is parsed (to a file, a shared-memory segment, an in-process cache),
-and [`load()`](../api/basic_json_document/load.md) it on every later use instead of parsing the source text again.
-They are just as useful for handing a parsed document to another process (or a forked worker) running the same build
-of the library, since [`load()`](../api/basic_json_document/load.md) turns the transfer into a copy of the node index
-plus pointers into the received bytes, not a re-parse.
-
-**Choosing a check.** [`load()`](../api/basic_json_document/load.md) takes an
-[`image_check`](../api/basic_json_document/load.md#image_check) that trades validation against speed:
-`image_check::full` (the default) checks everything the parser itself guarantees, so a checked image is exactly as
-safe to read and serialize as a freshly parsed document -- the right choice whenever the image did not come straight
-from this process's own [`save()`](../api/basic_json_document/save.md), such as a file or a network peer.
-`image_check::bounds` only checks structure and bounds -- cheaper, since it skips scanning the text and the decoded
-strings -- and fits a cache the process trusts, one it wrote and reads back itself. `image_check::none` skips
-validation entirely, for an image trusted as much as the process's own memory. See
-[`load()`'s Notes](../api/basic_json_document/load.md#notes) for exactly what each level does and does not guarantee.
-
-??? example "Example: cache a parsed configuration as an image"
-
-    ```cpp
-    --8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__save.cpp"
-    ```
-
-    Output:
-
-    ```json
-    --8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__save.output"
-    ```
-
-!!! warning "Experimental"
-
-    The image format is versioned but not yet stable, and may change in an incompatible way before it is declared
-    stable. It is little-endian only, and tied to the library build that wrote it -- use it to cache a document or to
-    hand one to another process running the *same* build, not as a long-term storage format; keep the original JSON
-    text if a saved document needs to be readable by a future library version.
-
-The idea of a document you can read without parsing comes from zero-copy formats such as
-[FlatBuffers](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers) and [YaFF](https://github.com/yandex/yaff); the check
-[`load()`](../api/basic_json_document/load.md) runs follows the idea of FlatBuffers' Verifier. No code is taken from
-either.

-## Input sources and performance
-
-All inputs produce the same values and the same exceptions, but they are read in different ways, which makes some of
-them faster than others:
-
-| input                                                                                      | how it is read                                                                     |
-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| strings, string views, string literals, contiguous containers, pointer or iterator ranges over contiguous memory | the whole input is scanned in bulk: runs of string characters, numbers, and indentation are recognized several bytes at a time |
-| `#!cpp std::istream` (`#!cpp std::ifstream`, `#!cpp std::istringstream`, ...)            | the characters the stream buffer holds are scanned in bulk like a string; the stream buffer is asked for more when they are used up |
-| `#!cpp FILE*`                                                                              | one character at a time, with the file locked once for the whole parse              |
-| other iterator ranges (e.g., `#!cpp std::list<char>`, `#!cpp std::istreambuf_iterator<char>`), wide strings | one character at a time                                                             |
-
-Parsing a file from a `#!cpp std::ifstream` is therefore only about 10 to 20 % slower than reading the whole file into a
-`#!cpp std::string` first and parsing that, and it needs no memory for a copy of the file. The stream is never read
-ahead: after parsing, it is positioned exactly as if every character had been read one at a time, so
-[`operator>>`](../../api/operator_gtgt.md) can still read several values from one stream (see also
-[JSON Lines](json_lines.md)).
-
-Two macros switch these optimizations off without changing any result:
-[`JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN`](../../api/macros/json_disable_stream_bulk_scan.md) for stream buffers that do not
-follow the usual `std::streambuf` contract, and
-[`JSON_DISABLE_UNLOCKED_FILE_IO`](../../api/macros/json_disable_unlocked_file_io.md) for programs in which another
-thread must use the same `#!cpp FILE` object while it is parsed.

 /// This sink is not part of the virtual output_adapter_protocol hierarchy: it is
 /// passed to binary_writer by value as a template parameter, so

 /// vtable lookup and no shared_ptr. It is used for the common
-/// `to_cbor`/`to_msgpack`/... into a std::vector.
-///
-/// Most writes are a few bytes - a type marker, or a number of 1, 2, 4, or 8
-/// bytes - and appending those with push_back() or insert() cost more than
-/// encoding them: insert() is an out-of-line call into a routine that can insert
-/// anywhere, and resize() is one as well with libstdc++. The sink therefore keeps
-/// its own write position: it grows the vector geometrically ahead of the
-/// position and copies each write to it, so a write is a capacity check and a
-/// short copy. The destructor shrinks the vector to the bytes actually written,
-/// also when a write throws; shrinking a vector never allocates. The sink owns
-/// that trim, so it can be moved but not copied, and the vector must not be used
-/// while the sink is alive.
