Niels Lohmann e7fc853e2d Include materialize.hpp in the view builder test
The test calls detail::view::materialize(), which only the single header
pulled in; the multiple-header build (JSON_TEST_USING_MULTIPLE_HEADERS)
failed with "'materialize' is not a member of detail::view".

Niels Lohmann 4cc906e567 Address the review: null inline nodes, trait spelling, and max() in json_view
- inline_nodes is null when the document has no inline nodes, instead of
  pointing past the end of the allocation; shrink_to_fit() no longer
  passes it to memcpy() for an empty node array
- is_byte_char and is_wide_char use conjunction/disjunction, which
  astyle leaves unspaced
- append_stream() uses (std::max) for the count read

Niels Lohmann 6d3f0dae96 Apply the review's wording fixes to the json_view documentation
- Copying is disabled because of its cost, not because of two documents
  borrowing the same buffer; the unique_ptr follows from move-only.
- Inputs: streams, FILE*, and wide characters (strings, arrays, pointers)
  are all supported and owned; point to parse_copy() for owned copies.
- The error replay only runs for failing input, builds no values, and is
  skipped with allow_exceptions = false.
- read() writes copied inputs into the previous owned copy.
- Views can dangle like std::string_view, and why there is no
  shared/weak pointer design.
- The 4 GiB limit (16-byte nodes, 16-byte scanner steps), streams being
  read to the end first, which macros apply, why materialize() has no
  source positions, and wording nits (accept() vs basic_json::accept(),
  is_binary, is_discarded, see-also lists, size table, "back into").

Niels Lohmann bdb6966416 Address the review of the view builder and document
Changes promised in the replies to the review of #5620:

- read() reuses the owned copy: a copied input (an rvalue byte container,
  a stream, FILE*, wide characters, an iterator range) is appended to the
  cleared owned buffer instead of a fresh std::string being move-assigned
  over it. A moved-in std::string still replaces it.
- The error replay runs the library parser with a SAX handler that stores
  nothing and throws the reported exception, instead of
  BasicJsonType::parse(), which built a DOM up to the error.
- Pointers to and arrays of wide characters, and FILE*, take the input
  adapter path (converted to UTF-8 into an owned buffer) instead of
  failing a static_assert. Wide pointers are NUL-terminated.
- Streams are read in blocks through rdbuf() into the buffer, instead of
  character by character through the input adapter; eofbit is set at the
  end, as by the library's stream adapter.
- tape/tape_size/tape_cap are now nodes/node_count/node_capacity.
- The builder's members get descriptive, m_-prefixed names.
- The shallow frame stack is a std::array (in a wrapper with a
  user-provided constructor: -Weffc++ wants the member initialized, and
  value-initializing the 64 frames costs up to 30 % on small documents).
- The value dispatch macro has no NEXT parameter; the switch is left with
  break, and the macro is undefined after its last use.
- literal() and digits_exceed() deduce the length from the string literal;
  each literal has one helper; the two `if (!is_float)` blocks are merged.
- arena_ensure() sits right before the writes; the decode arena is a
  std::vector<char>.
- The builder records the deepest nesting, and materialize() sizes its
  stack from it once (growing it only if a subtree is deeper).
- Comment fixes (hex4, slow_string, the NUL rule, put_utf8, 0 - m, the
  arena resize, grow()) and formatting (macro backslashes, digit cases,
  one power of ten per line, value_t assertion next to is_container()).
- build_with's template parameters follow the builder's order.

Greg's idea of keeping the source offset in `off` and the arena offset in
`next` for escaped strings was measured and not adopted: string access got
7-18 % slower with a select, and 3.5-18 % slower with a branch-free field
pick (Apple M-series, clang -O3), parsing was unchanged.

Niels Lohmann d14408a527 Read the node array base after emit() in the view builder's open()
emit() moves the node array when it grows, and the subtraction read base
in the same expression, so the order was unspecified. MSVC Release builds
without forced inlining read the old base; the container index then
pointed outside the array and close() wrote out of bounds.

Niels Lohmann b701e94ec3 Make json_view.hpp pass include-what-you-use
ci_single_binaries runs IWYU with --error on every header. For json_view.hpp
it suggested adding <array> (std::array is used), the headers that json.hpp
already provides (abi_config, abi_macros, input_adapters, json_pointer,
cpp_future, string_concat, value_t, json_fwd), and <version> for
std::nullptr_t, and removing <cstddef>.

- include <array>
- keep <cstddef> (nullptr_t, size_t; IWYU attributes them to <version> and <cstring>)
- tell IWYU not to suggest the headers that json.hpp provides: the amalgamated
  json_view.hpp only includes json.hpp, so including them here would duplicate
  their definitions
- export json.hpp, keep macro_unscope.hpp, and drop the unused forward declaration of the document class

Niels Lohmann 481a9a216f 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.

#
# Like calling json_test_add_test_for(<file> MAIN <main> ...) for each of the

# 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
# they are not marked as header-only sources of the batch.

!!! tip "Performance"
Contiguous inputs (strings, string views, vectors, arrays, pointer ranges) are the fastest to parse. A
`#!cpp std::istream` comes close: the parser scans the characters its stream buffer holds in bulk, without reading
ahead, so the stream is left exactly where it would be after reading one character at a time. A `#!cpp FILE*` is
read one character at a time, but the file is locked only once, so other threads that use the same `FILE` object
wait until parsing is done. See [input sources and performance](../../features/parsing/index.md#input-sources-and-performance),

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.

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

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>insert
```cpp
template<typename I, typename V>
view_type insert(view_type array, I idx, V&& value);
```
Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
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.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>load

// (1)
static basic_json_document load(const std::uint8_t* image, std::size_t size,
const image_check check = image_check::full);
// (2)
static basic_json_document load(const std::vector<std::uint8_t>& image,

// (3)

const image_check check = image_check::full);
```
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) |

[json.exception.parse_error.116] parse error: invalid json_document image: the check failed

## 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.

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

: 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

as a null `array` argument already turned into an empty array even though `value` itself was not appended.
## Exceptions

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

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.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_document::</small>save
```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
parser would have produced them for that JSON text: a member [`set`](set.md) added goes at the end, an
[`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
the same bytes -- also across `BasicJsonType` and `#!cpp Editable`, since the image reflects document order and
values only, not which specialization produced them.
## Return value
The image, as a `#!cpp std::vector<std::uint8_t>`. Pass it, or a pointer to its data together with its size, to
[`load`](load.md) to read the document back.
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: `save()` does not modify `#!cpp *this` (it is `#!cpp const`), so if it throws, the document is left
exactly as it was, and the partially built image is discarded with the exception.
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.320`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error320) if the document is
[discarded](is_discarded.md) -- a default-constructed document, or one a failed [`parse()`](parse.md)/
[`read()`](read.md) with `allow_exceptions == false` left discarded.
On a big-endian target, throws `type_error.320` with a different message instead: the image format is little-endian
only (see [Notes](#notes)).
Throws [`out_of_range.416`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range416) if the node count, the text, or
the decoded strings of the image would individually reach 4 GiB -- the same 32-bit offsets

## Complexity
Linear in the size of the document: the number of nodes, plus the length of the text and the decoded strings that end
up in the image.
## Notes
**Format.** The image begins with a 64-byte header (the magic bytes `#!cpp "NJVI"`, a version number, the node count,
and the sizes of the text and the decoded strings, all little-endian), followed by the nodes
([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.
## Examples
??? example "Caching a parsed document as an image"
The example below saves a parsed configuration as an image -- the way a service might cache one to answer later
requests without parsing the text again -- and confirms that loading it back gives exactly the same result as
parsing did, and that saving is deterministic.

```
Only an **editable** document (`#!cpp Editable == true`, e.g. [`json_editable_document`](../json_editable_document.md))
has `set`; calling it on a read-only `basic_json_document` fails to compile (`#!cpp static_assert`).
1. Replaces the value `target` refers to with `value`.
2. Sets the member `key` of the object `object` to `value`: assigns it if `object` already has a member with this
key -- the first one, should the key occur more than once, and the later duplicates are then dropped (see the
[Notes](#notes) below) -- or appends a new member at the end otherwise. A [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md)
`object` first becomes an empty object.
3. Assigns `value` to the element at index `idx` of the array `array`, which must already exist (`#!cpp idx <
array.size()`).
4. Sets the value the JSON pointer `ptr` refers to, relative to [`root()`](root.md), to `value`. The *parent* of the
target must already exist: an object member is set as in 2. (added if it does not exist yet), an array element is
assigned as in 3., and a last reference token of `#!cpp "-"`, or equal to the size of the array, appends `value`
instead, exactly as [`push_back`](push_back.md) would. A [null](../basic_json_view/is_null.md) parent becomes what
[`basic_json::operator[]`](../basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) with a JSON pointer makes of it: an array if the last
reference token is `#!cpp "-"` or consists of digits only (for an index beyond 0, the array is first filled with
null values up to that index), an object otherwise. An empty `ptr` sets [`root()`](root.md) itself, as in 1.
In every overload, `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 `target`'s/`object`'s/`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
`V`
: 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.

```
1. Returns the value of the object member with key `key` -- the first one, should the key occur more than once (see
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes)).
2. Returns the array element at index `idx`. The template accepts every integer type except `#!cpp bool` and
`#!cpp std::size_t` and forwards to the `size_type` overload, as for [`operator[]`](operator[].md); a negative
`idx` is out of range.
3. Returns the value a JSON pointer `ptr` refers to, starting at this value.
## Parameters
`key` (in)
: object key of the element to access
`idx` (in)
: index of the element to access
`ptr` (in)
: JSON pointer to the element to access
## Return value
1. the value of the first member with key `key`
2. the element at index `idx`
3. the value `ptr` resolves to, starting at this value
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
1. The function can throw the following exceptions, both with the same message as the corresponding call to
[`BasicJsonType::at`](../basic_json/at.md):
- Throws [`type_error.304`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error304) if the value is not an object.
- Throws [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403) if no member has key `key`.
2. The function can throw the following exceptions, both with the same message as the corresponding call to
[`BasicJsonType::at`](../basic_json/at.md):
- Throws [`type_error.304`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error304) if the value is not an array.
- Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if `#!cpp idx >= size()`.
3. The function can throw the following exceptions, all with the same message as the corresponding call to
[`BasicJsonType::at`](../basic_json/at.md):
- Throws [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index in `ptr`
begins with `#!cpp '0'`.
- Throws [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index in `ptr` is
not a number.
- Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if an array index in `ptr`
is out of range.
- Throws [`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402) if a reference token is
`#!cpp "-"` at an array -- `at` never inserts an element, so `#!cpp "-"` is always invalid.
- Throws [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403) if a reference token names
an object member that does not exist.
- Throws [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) if `ptr` cannot be resolved
because a reference token is used on a primitive value.
None of these exceptions carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
1. Linear in the number of members: as for [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), members are compared one after
another, in document order, stopping at the first match. Each comparison first checks the
key's length -- already known from the index, without reading the key bytes -- before comparing its content.
Objects with 128 or more members get a hash index of their keys while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes
constant time on average.
2. Linear in `idx`: elements are skipped one at a time from the first one, since they are not a fixed size in the
index (unlike `BasicJsonType`'s array, which is random-access).
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 (as 1.) or the index into the array (as 2.).
## Notes
!!! warning "Duplicate keys: the first member wins"
If the source text repeats a key, this resolves to the *first* member with it, not to the last one that
[`materialize()`](materialize.md) and `parse()` keep. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of
`operator[]` and [Duplicate keys](../../features/json_view.md#duplicate-keys) for the reasons and for how to get
the last value.
Unlike [`operator[]`](operator[].md), which returns a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view for a missing key or an
out-of-range index, `at` always throws -- exactly as `BasicJsonType::at` does, and with the same messages, so
existing error handling written against `BasicJsonType::at` keeps working unchanged when switched to a view. This
also holds for overload 3: unlike [`operator[]`](operator[].md) with a JSON pointer, which returns a discarded view
for a missing key or an out-of-range index, `at` throws for those too (`out_of_range.403`/`out_of_range.401`).
## Examples
??? example "Example: (1)/(2) access specified element with bounds checking"
The example below reads required fields out of a service configuration with `at`, and shows that the exceptions
it throws -- for a wrong type and for a missing key -- carry the same messages
[`BasicJsonType::at`](../basic_json/at.md) would produce for the same JSON text.

Returns the last element of an array, the last member value of an object, or the value itself if it is primitive

## Return value

## Complexity
Linear in the size of the array or object: unlike [`front()`](front.md), which only ever looks at the first
element, `back()` has to walk every element to find where they end, since elements are not a fixed size in the
index.
## Notes
Unlike [`BasicJsonType::back()`](../basic_json/back.md), which has undefined behavior for an empty array or object,
`back()` throws `invalid_iterator.214` for an empty array, an empty object, a null value, or a discarded view.

```cpp
iterator begin() const noexcept;
```
Returns an iterator to the first element of an array, or the first member value of an object, in **document order**
-- the order the values appear in the source text, not sorted by key. A primitive value iterates as a range of one
element (itself), and a `#!json null` value or a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view iterates as an empty range.
## Return value
Iterator to the first element.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
For an object, iteration visits **every** member, including all occurrences of a duplicate key -- unlike
[`operator[]`](operator[].md), [`at`](at.md), [`find`](find.md), and [`contains`](contains.md),
which all resolve to the *first* member with a given key. See the
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of `operator[]`.
Because objects are iterated in document order rather than sorted by key, the order seen here can differ from what
iterating the [`materialize()`](materialize.md)d `BasicJsonType` value would produce: a `#!cpp basic_json` object
(`std::map`-backed by default) sorts its keys, while a view does not.
An `ordered_json` value also keeps document order, but it keeps only one entry per key: as `parse()` does, it keeps the
*last* value, at the position of the key's *first* occurrence. The view, in contrast, visits every member, including
the duplicates.

The example below iterates a log record's members with `begin()`/[`end()`](end.md) and prints them in the order

2. Checks whether a JSON pointer `ptr` can be resolved, starting at this value.
## Parameters
`key` (in)
: key value to check its existence
`ptr` (in)
: JSON pointer to check its existence
## Return value
1. `#!cpp true` if the value is an object and has a member with key `key`, `#!cpp false` otherwise
2. `#!cpp true` if `ptr` can be resolved to a value starting at this view, `#!cpp false` otherwise
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
1. Linear in the number of members: as for [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), members are compared one after
another, in document order, stopping at the first match. Each comparison first checks the
key's length -- already known from the index, without reading the key bytes -- before comparing its content.
Objects with 128 or more members get a hash index of their keys while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes
constant time on average.
2. 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 for [`operator[]`](operator[].md#complexity) and
[`at`](at.md#complexity) with a JSON pointer.
## Notes
!!! warning "Duplicate keys: the first member wins"
If the source text repeats a key, this resolves to the *first* member with it, not to the last one that
[`materialize()`](materialize.md) and `parse()` keep. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of
`operator[]` and [Duplicate keys](../../features/json_view.md#duplicate-keys) for the reasons and for how to get
the last value.
Overload 1 always returns `#!cpp false` when the value is not an object -- including a [discarded](is_discarded.md)
view.
!!! info "Postconditions"
If `#!cpp v.contains(key)` returns `#!cpp true`, then `#!cpp v[key]` is not [discarded](is_discarded.md) and
`#!cpp v.at(key)` does not throw. If
`#!cpp v.contains(ptr)` returns `#!cpp true`, then `#!cpp v[ptr]` is not discarded and `#!cpp v.at(ptr)` does not
throw.
!!! info "Overload 2 never throws"
Unlike [`BasicJsonType::contains(const json_pointer&)`](../basic_json/contains.md), which can throw for certain
malformed pointers (for instance an empty array-index reference token), overload 2 never throws: a missing key,
an out-of-range or malformed array index, a `#!cpp "-"` index, or a reference token used on a primitive all
simply make it return `#!cpp false`.
## Examples
??? example "Example: (1) check with key"
The example below counts how many of a batch of records carry an optional `retry_of` field, using `contains()`
to check without ever materializing a single record of the batch.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__contains.cpp"
```
Output:
```json

??? example "Example: (2) check with JSON pointer"
The example below checks an optional, nested field with a JSON pointer, and shows two pointers that
`#!cpp contains()` resolves to `#!cpp false` without throwing.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>count
```cpp
size_type count(string_view_t key) const;
size_type count(const char* key) const;
size_type count(const string_t& key) const;
```
Returns the number of members with key `key` if the value is an object, `#!cpp 0` otherwise. Members with a repeated
key are all counted.
## Parameters
`key` (in)
: key value of the element to count
## Return value
the number of members of the object with key `key` (duplicates included), or `#!cpp 0` if the value is not an object
or has no such member.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Linear in the number of members: unlike the lookup functions, `count()` does not stop at the first match, because it
has to count every member with the key. Members are compared one after another, in document order. Each comparison
first checks the key's length -- already known from the index, without reading the key bytes -- before comparing its
content. The hash index of the keys of objects with 128 or more members does not help here, since every member
is visited.
## Notes
This method always returns `#!cpp 0` when the value is not an object -- including a [discarded](is_discarded.md)
view.
If the source text repeats a key, `count()` returns more than `#!cpp 1` for it, even though the
[materialized](materialize.md) value (like the result of `parse()`) would have only one member with that key. Hence
`#!cpp count(key) > 1` detects duplicate keys. This is unlike the lookup functions
([`operator[]`](operator[].md), [`at`](at.md), [`find`](find.md), [`contains`](contains.md)), which resolve to the
*first* member; see the [Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of `operator[]`.
## Examples
??? example
The example below validates that every transaction of a batch carries exactly one `amount` field, using
`count()` before deciding whether to materialize a transaction at all. It reports a transaction with no `amount`

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>dump
```cpp
string_t dump(const int indent = -1,
const char indent_char = ' ',
const bool ensure_ascii = false,
const number_format numbers = number_format::shortest) const;
```
Serializes this value (and its subtree) directly from the flat index, without ever building a `BasicJsonType` value
first. With the default `#!cpp numbers == number_format::shortest`, the result is the same string
[`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md) would produce for the value
[`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) builds from the same source text, called with the same `indent`,
`indent_char`, and `ensure_ascii` -- except that members of an object appear in document order rather than sorted by
key, and *every* occurrence of a repeated key is written rather than only the last one (see
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes)). For a `json_view` (whose `BasicJsonType` is not ordered), this means
`dump()` can print an object's members in a different order than [`materialize()`](materialize.md)`.dump()` of the
same subtree.
## Parameters
`indent` (in)
: If `indent` is nonnegative, array elements and object members are pretty-printed with that indent level. An
indent level of `0` only inserts newlines. `-1` (the default) selects the most compact representation.
`indent_char` (in)
: The character used for indentation if `indent` is greater than `0`. The default is ` ` (space).
`ensure_ascii` (in)
: If `ensure_ascii` is `#!cpp true`, all non-ASCII characters in the output are escaped with `\uXXXX` sequences, and
the result consists of ASCII characters only.
`numbers` (in)
: how to write numbers, see [`number_format`](number_format.md): `shortest` (the default) writes them the way
[`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md) would; `source` copies every number exactly as it appears in the
source text.
## Return value
string containing the serialization of this value, or `#!cpp "<discarded>"` if the view is
[discarded](is_discarded.md).
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
May throw `#!cpp std::bad_alloc` if allocating the output string fails. Unlike
[`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md), there is no `error_handler` parameter and no
[`type_error.316`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error316): the view only ever holds text the parser
already validated as UTF-8, so there is nothing to replace or ignore.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the output text.
## Notes
The walk over the subtree is iterative, so the nesting depth it can write is limited by available memory only, not by
the call stack -- as for [`materialize()`](materialize.md).
Strings are escaped by the same rules as [`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md).
With `#!cpp numbers == number_format::shortest`, floats are written with the library's shortest round-trip conversion,
exactly as [`BasicJsonType::dump`](../basic_json/dump.md) would (e.g. `#!cpp 1.5`, `#!cpp 100.0`, `#!cpp 1e+100`), and
integers are copied from the source text -- already canonical in JSON, so this matches their shortest form too --
except that `#!cpp -0` is written as `#!cpp 0`, the way [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) reads it.
`#!cpp number_format::source` copies every number exactly as written in the source text instead, with no exception
for `#!cpp -0` -- `#!cpp 1.50`, `#!cpp 1E2`, `#!cpp -0.0`, `#!cpp -0`, or all digits of an integer literal with more
digits than any number type holds (such a literal is itself classified as a float, see
[What is different](../../features/json_view.md#what-is-different)) -- something `BasicJsonType` cannot do, since
parsing already reduces every number to its parsed value.
## Examples
??? example
The example below forwards a single record out of a larger batch, and re-serializes a configuration file, both
without ever building a `BasicJsonType` value for the surrounding array or for the parts of it that were not
needed. It also shows that [`materialize()`](materialize.md)`.dump()` of the configuration sorts its keys, where
`dump()` on the view keeps the order they appear in the source text.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>end
```cpp
iterator end() const noexcept;
```
Returns an iterator to one past the last element of an array, one past the last member value of an object, in
**document order** -- see [`begin()`](begin.md). A primitive value iterates as a range of one element (itself), and a
`#!json null` value or a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view iterates as an empty range (`#!cpp begin() == end()`).
## Return value
Iterator one past the last element.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
`#!cpp iterator` is a forward iterator: unlike `BasicJsonType::iterator`, it cannot be decremented, so there is no

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>get
```cpp
template<typename T>
T get() const;
```
Converts the value to `T`.
For the types below, the conversion works directly on the flat index -- no `BasicJsonType` value is built for it:
- `#!cpp bool`
- arithmetic types other than `#!cpp bool` (for a boolean, `#!cpp 0`/`#!cpp 1`, exactly as for
[`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md))
- `#!cpp std::nullptr_t`
- `#!cpp std::basic_string<char, Traits, Alloc>` (including `string_t`) -- a copy of the string
- [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) -- **no copy**: the returned view points into the document's
[`source()`](../basic_json_document/source.md) text, or, for a string that contains escape sequences, into the
document's own buffer of decoded strings (see [`get_string()`](get_string.md))
- `BasicJsonType` -- equivalent to [`materialize()`](materialize.md)
- `basic_json_view` -- returns `#!cpp *this`
- `#!cpp std::vector<U, A>` -- from an array, element by element, each converted with `#!cpp get<U>()`; `#!cpp
std::vector<basic_json_view>` keeps a view of every element instead of a value
- `#!cpp std::map<K, V, C, A>` and `#!cpp std::unordered_map<K, V, H, E, A>`, if `K` is constructible from a `#!cpp
(const char*, std::size_t)` pair -- from an object, member by member, each value converted with `#!cpp get<V>()`; with a repeated
key, the *last* value is kept, as [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) (and
[`materialize()`](materialize.md)) does; `#!cpp std::map<std::string, basic_json_view>` keeps views of the members
instead of values
Every other `T` -- `#!cpp std::list`, `#!cpp std::pair`, `#!cpp std::array`, enumerations, user types with a
`from_json()`, ... -- is converted by `#!cpp materialize().get<T>()`: the subtree is built into a real `BasicJsonType`
value first (as [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) would), and converted from there exactly as
[`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md) would convert it.
## Template parameters
`T`
: the type to convert the value to
## Return value
the value, converted to `T`
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
- For the directly-converted types listed above (other than `BasicJsonType` and `basic_json_view`, which never
throw): throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if the value's type does not
match `T` -- the same exception, with the same message, that [`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md)
throws for the same JSON type and `T`.
- For `#!cpp std::vector<U, A>`: throws `type_error.302` if the value is not an array; otherwise, whatever converting
an element to `U` throws.
- For `#!cpp std::map`/`#!cpp std::unordered_map`: throws `type_error.302` if the value is not an object; otherwise,
whatever converting a member to the mapped type throws.
- For every other `T`: whatever [`materialize().get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md) throws -- typically `type_error.302`,
or whatever a user-provided `from_json()` throws.
None of the exceptions thrown directly by this function (the first three bullets above) carry a
[`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no `BasicJsonType` value to point at. An
exception thrown while converting through `materialize()` (the last bullet) is different: it is thrown by a real
`BasicJsonType` value, so it **does** carry a `JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` path if `BasicJsonType` was built with it enabled.
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.
## Complexity
- `#!cpp bool`, arithmetic types, `#!cpp std::nullptr_t`, [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types), `basic_json_view`:
constant.
- `#!cpp std::basic_string<char, Traits, Alloc>`: constant, plus one allocation and a copy of the string's bytes.
- `BasicJsonType`: linear in the size of the subtree, see [`materialize()`](materialize.md).
- `#!cpp std::vector<U, A>`: linear in the number of elements, times the complexity of converting one element to `U`.
- `#!cpp std::map`/`#!cpp std::unordered_map`: linear in the number of members for walking them, plus the container's
own insertion cost per member (logarithmic for `#!cpp std::map`, amortized constant for `#!cpp
std::unordered_map`), times the complexity of converting one member to the mapped type.
- every other `T`: the cost of [`materialize()`](materialize.md) and of destroying the `BasicJsonType` value
afterwards, plus that of [`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](../basic_json/get.md).
## Notes
!!! info "Floating-point values"
A floating-point `T` is converted from the same digits the lexer would see during `#!cpp BasicJsonType::parse()`,
using the same conversion, so the result is bit-for-bit identical to `#!cpp BasicJsonType::parse(text).get<T>()`
for the same source text.
!!! info "Duplicate keys"
`#!cpp std::map`/`#!cpp std::unordered_map` conversions keep the *last* value of a repeated key, like
[`materialize()`](materialize.md) and [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) do. This is the opposite
of [`operator[]`](operator[].md)/[`at`](at.md)/[`find`](find.md)/[`contains`](contains.md), which resolve to the
*first* occurrence (see the [Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes)).
!!! info "No pointers, references, or implicit conversion"
Unlike `BasicJsonType`, `basic_json_view` has no stored value anywhere to hand out a pointer or a reference to, so
it provides neither `#!cpp get_ptr()`, `#!cpp get_ref()`, nor `#!cpp operator ValueType()`.
[`get_string()`](get_string.md) (equivalently, `#!cpp get<string_view_t>()`) is the zero-copy alternative for
strings.
## Examples
??? example
The example below reads typed fields straight into C++ variables, collects a view of every array element with
`#!cpp get<std::vector<basic_json_view>>()` instead of a value, and converts a nested object into a user type
through its `from_json()` -- which runs on a `BasicJsonType` value `materialize()` builds for just that one
member.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>get_string

Returns the string value as a [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types), without copying it.
## Return value
The string, as a [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) that points either into the document's
[`source()`](../basic_json_document/source.md) text (a string with no escape sequences), or into the document's own
buffer of decoded strings (a string that contains escape sequences, such as `#!json "\n"` or `#!json "\u00e9"`, which
had to be decoded once when the document was parsed).
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if the value is not a string; example:
`"type must be string, but is array"`.
This exception does not carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
`basic_json_view` has no `BasicJsonType` value stored anywhere, so unlike `BasicJsonType`, it has no `get_ref()` to
hand out a reference to a stored `string_t`. `get_string()` (equivalently, [`get<string_view_t>()`](get.md)) is the
zero-copy alternative: [`BasicJsonType::get_ref<const string_t&>()`](../basic_json/get_ref.md) is its closest
counterpart, except that it returns a view instead of a reference to a value that must already exist.
`get_string()` borrows the string: nothing is copied, whereas [`get<std::string>()`](get.md) copies it. For a borrowed
document, the returned [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) is valid as long as the caller's buffer; for an owned
one, as long as the document.
The returned [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) is valid exactly as long as the view that produced it -- see the
[validity rules](index.md) of `basic_json_view` -- and, for a string with no escapes, for as long as the document's
source text, which for a borrowed document must remain valid **and unmodified** for as long as the document exists,
since floating-point values and unescaped strings are read from the source lazily.
## Examples
??? example
The example below pulls one field out of a JSON text that stands in for a large API response, and shows that no
`#!cpp std::string` was allocated for it: the returned view still points inside the original buffer. A field that
contains an escape sequence cannot point into the original text -- it was decoded once into the document's own
buffer instead -- but still avoids a per-field allocation.

`#!cpp std::nullptr_t`, [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types), `#!cpp std::basic_string`, `BasicJsonType`,
`basic_json_view`, `#!cpp std::vector`, and `#!cpp std::map`/`#!cpp std::unordered_map` with string keys -- `v` is
assigned: `#!cpp v = get<T>()`.
- For every other type, the subtree is built into a `BasicJsonType` value and `#!cpp materialize().get_to(v)` is
called, i.e. `from_json()` is invoked with the existing `v`, exactly as
[`BasicJsonType::get_to()`](../basic_json/get_to.md) does.
## Template parameters
`T`
: the type to convert the value to
## Parameters
`v` (out)
: the variable to store the converted value in
## Return value
`v`, allowing calls to chain
## Exception safety
- For the directly converted types: strong exception safety. If an exception is thrown, `v` is not modified.
- For every other type: as for [`BasicJsonType::get_to()`](../basic_json/get_to.md). `materialize()` throws before `v`
is touched, but a `from_json()` that throws may leave `v` partly modified.
## Exceptions
- For the directly converted types: whatever [`get<T>()`](get.md) throws for the same value and `T`.
- For every other type: whatever [`materialize()`](materialize.md) and
[`BasicJsonType::get_to()`](../basic_json/get_to.md) throw.
## Complexity
- For the directly converted types: whatever [`get<T>()`](get.md) has for the same `T`.
- For every other type: that of [`materialize()`](materialize.md), plus that of
[`BasicJsonType::get_to()`](../basic_json/get_to.md).
## Notes
The difference between the two ways matters for a `from_json()` that sets only the fields present in the JSON: since
it runs on the existing `v`, the other fields of `v` keep their values, whereas assigning `get<T>()` would replace
them with those of a default-constructed `T`.
## Examples
??? example
The example below reads several fields of a service configuration directly into existing variables, then uses
the returned reference to fold the `#!cpp host`/`#!cpp port` pair into a single string in the same expression.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__get_to.cpp"
```
Output:
```json

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>items
```cpp
/* unspecified */ items() const noexcept;
```
Returns a range of items -- (key, value) pairs -- for use in range-based for loops. An item's `#!cpp key()` is a
`#!cpp string_view_t` (for an array element, its index converted to a string, as for
[`BasicJsonType::items()`](../basic_json/items.md)), and its `#!cpp value()` is a `basic_json_view` of the element.
The returned type is not part of the public API and may change between versions; use a range-based for loop (see the
example), or `#!cpp decltype(v.items())` if you need to name it.
```cpp
for (const auto& item : v.items())
{
std::cout << "key: " << item.key() << ", value: " << item.value() << '\n';
}
```
On C++17, `item` also supports [structured bindings](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/structured_binding):
```cpp
for (const auto [key, value] : v.items())
{
std::cout << "key: " << key << ", value: " << value << '\n';
}
```
Note the `#!cpp const auto` (by value), not `#!cpp const auto&`: unlike `BasicJsonType::items()`, whose elements are
references into an existing object, a view's `item` is produced on the fly for each step of the iteration, so there
is nothing for a reference to bind to.
## Return value
A range whose iterators dereference to an item (with `#!cpp key()` and `#!cpp value()`, see above) and whose
`#!cpp begin()`/`#!cpp end()` are equivalent to [`basic_json_view::begin()`](begin.md)/[`end()`](end.md), in document order.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
As for [`begin()`](begin.md)/[`end()`](end.md), `items()` visits **every** member of an object, including all
occurrences of a duplicate key -- unlike [`operator[]`](operator[].md), [`at`](at.md), [`find`](find.md),
and [`contains`](contains.md), which resolve to the *first* member with a given key. See the
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of `operator[]`.
!!! danger "Lifetime issues"
Unlike `BasicJsonType::items()` (see [#2040](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/2040)), calling `items()` on
a temporary view is safe, for instance `#!cpp for (auto item : v["a"].items())`: the returned range holds a copy
of the view. What must outlive the loop is the document and, for a borrowed document, the source buffer.
## Examples
??? example
The example below shows a settings object whose source text records every update to a key as a duplicate
member, in the order they happened. `items()` walks all of them, so the update history is visible, while
[`operator[]`](operator[].md) only ever sees the *first* one and [`materialize()`](materialize.md) -- like
[`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) -- keeps only the *last*.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>number_format
```cpp
enum class number_format {

```
This enumeration is used in [`dump`](dump.md) to choose how numbers are written. Two values are differentiated:
shortest
: integers are copied from the source text -- already canonical in JSON -- except that `#!cpp -0` becomes
`#!cpp 0`, the way [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) reads it; floats are written with the
library's shortest round-trip conversion, exactly as [`BasicJsonType::dump()`](../basic_json/dump.md) would (e.g.
`#!cpp 1.5`, `#!cpp 100.0`, `#!cpp 1e+100`)
source
: every number is copied exactly as it appears in the source text -- `#!cpp 1.50`, `#!cpp 1E2`, `#!cpp -0`, all
digits of an integer literal with more digits than any number type holds -- something `BasicJsonType` cannot do,
since parsing already reduces every number to its parsed value
## Examples
??? example
The example below writes back a price list received from a supplier: with `number_format::shortest` (the
default), a trailing zero and scientific notation are normalized away and a long account number that overflows
every number type is rounded, the same way `#!cpp materialize().dump()` (or `basic_json::dump()`) would;
`number_format::source` keeps every number exactly as it was written in the source text instead.

Returns the number exactly as it appears in the source text, without parsing or rounding it.
## Return value
The number's token text, as a [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) into the document's
[`source()`](../basic_json_document/source.md) text -- for example `#!cpp "1.50"`, `#!cpp "1E2"`, `#!cpp "-0"`, or an
integer literal with more digits than any number type holds (such as a 30-digit integer, which [`get<T>()`](get.md)
and [`materialize()`](materialize.md) can only represent approximately, as a `number_float_t`).
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if the value is not a number; example:
`"type must be number, but is string"`.
This exception does not carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
`BasicJsonType` has no counterpart to this function: once a number is parsed into `number_integer_t`,
`number_unsigned_t`, or `number_float_t`, its original textual form (leading zeros aside, which are already rejected
by the grammar; trailing zeros in the fraction; the case and sign of the exponent; ...) is gone. `number_token()` is
useful precisely where that form must survive -- a price or an identifier that must be reproduced exactly, or a
number too large for any of `BasicJsonType`'s number types to hold without loss.
The returned [`string_view_t`](index.md#member-types) always points into the document's
[`source()`](../basic_json_document/source.md) text -- numbers are never decoded into the document's separate string
buffer -- and is valid exactly as long as that text is, see the [validity rules](index.md) of `basic_json_view`.
## Examples
??? example
The example below keeps a price and an order ID exactly as they were written in an incoming order, where
converting them with [`get<T>()`](get.md) would lose information: the price picks up floating-point rounding, and
the order ID -- more digits than a 64-bit integer holds -- can only be approximated as a `#!cpp double` once
`#!cpp materialize()`d.

2. Returns the array element at index `idx`, or a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view if `idx` is out of range. The
template accepts every integer type except `#!cpp bool` and `#!cpp std::size_t` (`#!cpp int`, `#!cpp unsigned`,
`#!cpp long`, `#!cpp std::int64_t`, ...) and forwards to the `size_type` overload, so that an integer argument is
not ambiguous between that overload and 1; a negative `idx` is out of range.

Strong guarantee: there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
1. Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if the value is not an object and
not [discarded](is_discarded.md) --

2. Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if the value is not an array and
not [discarded](is_discarded.md) --
the same exception, with the same message, that the **const** overload of
[`BasicJsonType::operator[]`](../basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) throws for a numeric argument on a non-array value.
3. Throws the same exceptions, with the same messages, that the **const** overload of
[`BasicJsonType::operator[]`](../basic_json/operator%5B%5D.md) throws for the same pointer and the same document:
- [`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402) if a reference token is `#!cpp "-"`
at an array.
- [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) if a reference token cannot be
resolved because it is used on a primitive value.
- [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index in `ptr` begins
with `#!cpp '0'`.
- [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index in `ptr` is not a
number.
None of these exceptions carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
1. Linear in the number of members: as for [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), members are compared one after
another, in document order, stopping at the first match. Each comparison first checks the
key's length -- already known from the index, without reading the key bytes -- before comparing its content, so a
key of a different length than `key` is rejected without touching the source text.
Objects with 128 or more members get a hash index of their keys while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes
constant time on average.
2. Linear in `idx`: elements are skipped one at a time from the first one, since they are not a fixed size in the
index (unlike `BasicJsonType`'s array, which is random-access).
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 (as 1.) or the index into the array (as 2.).
## Notes
Unlike `BasicJsonType::operator[]`, which is undefined behavior (guarded by a
[runtime assertion](../../features/assertions.md)) for a missing key on a **const** value, this operator returns a
safe, testable result for a missing key or an index out of range: a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view, which is
tested with [`is_discarded`](is_discarded.md).
There is also no non-const overload that inserts a missing key or extends an array -- a view never modifies the
document.
!!! info "Chained access"
`#!cpp operator[]` on a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view returns a discarded view and does not throw, so a chain
like `#!cpp v["a"]["b"][0]` is safe even if `"a"` or `"b"` is missing: the first missing step makes the whole
result discarded, which is tested once at the end. Type errors on values that are *not* discarded still throw: a
key on an array or a primitive, or an index on an object or a primitive, is `type_error.305` as for
`BasicJsonType`. [`at`](at.md) still throws for a discarded view, as it does for a missing key.
!!! warning "Duplicate keys: the first member wins"
If the source text has an object with a duplicate key, `#!cpp operator[]` (and [`at`](at.md), [`find`](find.md),
[`contains`](contains.md), [`value`](value.md), and JSON pointer resolution) all resolve to
the *first* member with that key, because a lookup can stop as soon as it finds a match. This is different from
[`materialize()`](materialize.md) (and [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md)), which replay every
member in order and so keep the *last* value for a repeated key, so `#!cpp v["a"]` and
`#!cpp v.materialize()["a"]` can differ. To get the value `parse()` would give, use
[`materialize()`](materialize.md) or iterate the members with [`items()`](items.md) and keep the last match.
The key hash index of a larger object (128 members or more) leads to the first member of a key as well.
[`begin()`](begin.md)/[`end()`](end.md) and [`items()`](items.md) iterate over *all* members, including
duplicates, in document order. See [Duplicate keys](../../features/json_view.md#duplicate-keys) and
[`size()`](size.md#notes).
!!! info "JSON pointer resolution"
Overload 3 walks `ptr` one reference token at a time, starting at this value, the same way [`at`](at.md) and
[`contains`](contains.md) do. It only ever returns a discarded view where the **const** overload of
`BasicJsonType::operator[]` would be undefined behavior for the same pointer -- a missing object member or an
out-of-range array index -- and still throws for every other way `ptr` can fail to resolve. See
[`at`](at.md#exceptions) for the checked version, which throws in every case instead, and
[`contains`](contains.md) for a version that never throws.
## Examples
??? example "Example: (1)/(2) access specified element"
The example below reads a couple of fields out of a batch of user records without ever materializing a full
`BasicJsonType` value for the batch. `operator[]` is used both to look up an optional object member and to index
into an array -- in both cases, a missing value comes back as a discarded view that can be tested with a plain
`#!cpp if`, instead of relying on undefined behavior.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>operator==
```cpp
// (1)
bool operator==(const basic_json_view& lhs, const basic_json_view& rhs);
// (2)
bool operator==(const basic_json_view& lhs, const BasicJsonType& rhs);
bool operator==(const BasicJsonType& lhs, const basic_json_view& rhs);
```
1. Compares two views for equality: whether the values [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](../basic_json/parse.md) would
produce for `lhs` and `rhs` are equal, according to `BasicJsonType`'s [`operator==`](../basic_json/operator_eq.md).
2. Compares a view and a `BasicJsonType` value for equality, in either order: whether the value `parse()` would
produce for the view and the other operand are equal, according to `BasicJsonType`'s
[`operator==`](../basic_json/operator_eq.md).
Neither overload builds a `BasicJsonType` value for a view to do the comparison (see [Notes](#notes) below). Numbers
compare by value across their types (`#!cpp 1 == 1.0`), and an object compares by its members, with duplicate keys
resolved exactly as `parse()` resolves them -- the last value, at the position of the first occurrence of the key.
This is not what [`operator[]`](operator[].md) and the other lookups return for a duplicate key: they find the *first*
member (see [Duplicate keys](../../features/json_view.md#duplicate-keys)).
## Parameters
`lhs` (in)
: first value to consider
`rhs` (in)
: second value to consider
## Return value
whether the values `lhs` and `rhs` are equal
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to either operand, or to the document(s) a
view refers to.
## Exceptions
May throw `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`. Unlike the other comparison and most other `basic_json_view` functions,
`operator==` is not `#!cpp noexcept`: resolving an object's members needs a temporary array to sort them by key (see
[Complexity](#complexity) below), and that allocation can fail.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the compared values: every number, string, array element, and object member is visited at most
once, and the walk is iterative, so the nesting depth it can compare is limited by available memory only, not by the
call stack (as for [`materialize()`](materialize.md)). Resolving an object's members takes an additional O(n log n)
in the number of members at that level, since they are sorted by key to detect and resolve duplicates before being
compared. Two arrays of different [`size()`](size.md) are rejected without visiting either one's elements.
## Notes
Only a single number, boolean, or `#!cpp null` value is ever materialized into a `BasicJsonType`, to reuse its
`operator==` -- for numbers, so that values written differently in the source text but equal in value (e.g. an
integer and a floating-point literal) still compare equal, following the same rules `BasicJsonType` does for special
values such as `#!cpp NaN`. Constructing one of these scalars never allocates. Strings are compared directly, without
allocating, either from the source text on both sides or, for overload 2, against `BasicJsonType`'s own string.
Arrays and objects are never materialized at all; only their elements or members are visited, one pair at a time.
!!! info "How objects are compared"
For a [`json_view`](../json_view.md) (`BasicJsonType::object_t` is `#!cpp std::map`), members are compared by
key, regardless of the order they appear in the source text. For an
[`ordered_json_view`](../ordered_json_view.md) (`object_t` is `ordered_map`), they are compared in the order
they occur, so the very same two objects with their members reordered can compare equal as `json_view`s but not
as `ordered_json_view`s. This is exactly how [`json`](../json.md) and [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md)
compare, see ["Comparing different `basic_json` specializations"](../basic_json/operator_eq.md#notes).
!!! info "Discarded views"
A [discarded](is_discarded.md) view compares the same way a discarded `BasicJsonType` value does, which is
governed by
[`JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON`](../macros/json_use_legacy_discarded_value_comparison.md): by
default, a discarded view is never equal to anything, not even another discarded view.
No ordering comparison (`#!cpp operator<`) is provided for `basic_json_view`; [`materialize()`](materialize.md) is
the way to get a `BasicJsonType` value that supports it.
## Examples
??? example
The example below checks whether a newly received configuration differs from the previous one, and whether a
received document matches what a test expects -- directly on views, without ever materializing a `BasicJsonType`
value for either side.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>operator<<
```cpp
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& o, const basic_json_view& v);
```
Not available when [`JSON_NO_IO`](../macros/json_no_io.md) is defined.
Serializes the given view `v` to the output stream `o`, using [`dump`](dump.md) -- exactly as
`#!cpp operator<<(std::ostream&, const basic_json&)` does for a `basic_json` value.
- The indentation of the output can be controlled with the member variable `width` of the output stream `o`. For
instance, using the manipulator `std::setw(4)` on `o` sets the indentation level to `4`, and the serialization
result is the same as calling `#!cpp v.dump(4)`. A `width` of `0` or less (the default) selects the most compact
representation, as `#!cpp v.dump(-1)` does.
- The indentation character can be controlled with the member variable `fill` of the output stream `o`. For instance,
the manipulator `std::setfill('\t')` sets indentation to use a tab character rather than the default space
character.
- As for `basic_json`, `o`'s `width` is reset to `0` after this call, whether or not it was greater than `0` before.
Numbers are always written as `#!cpp v.dump()` writes them by default, i.e. as with
[`number_format::shortest`](number_format.md); there is no way to select `#!cpp number_format::source` through the
stream.
## Parameters
`o` (in, out)
: stream to write to
`v` (in)
: view to serialize
## Return value

## Exceptions
May throw `#!cpp std::bad_alloc`, propagated from [`dump`](dump.md#exceptions). Unlike
`#!cpp operator<<(std::ostream&, const basic_json&)`, there is no UTF-8 decoding step that could throw

1. Returns the value of the object member with key `key` -- the first one, should the key occur more than once (see
[Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes)) -- converted to `T`, or `default_value` if there is no such member.
2. Returns the value a JSON pointer `ptr` refers to, starting at this value, converted to `T`, or `default_value` if
`ptr` cannot be resolved.
Both overloads have a dedicated `#!cpp const char*` overload, so `#!cpp v.value(key, "default")` (and the JSON pointer
equivalent) deduce `string_t`, not `const char*`, for their return type and for the comparison used to pick between
`key` and `default_value`.

: the type to convert the found value to; also the type of `default_value`
## Parameters

: object key of the element to access

: JSON pointer to the element to access
`default_value` (in)
: the value to return if `key`/`ptr` resolves to no value
## Return value
1. the first member with key `key`, converted to `T`, or `default_value`
2. the value `ptr` resolves to, converted to `T`, or `default_value`
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
1. Throws [`type_error.306`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error306) if the value is not an object --
the same exception, with the same message, that [`BasicJsonType::value`](../basic_json/value.md) throws for the
same call. If a member with key `key` is found, throws whatever converting it to `T` throws (typically
[`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302), with the same message
[`BasicJsonType::value`](../basic_json/value.md) throws for the same mismatch); a missing member never throws.
2. Throws [`type_error.306`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error306) if this value -- not the value `ptr`
resolves to -- is neither an object nor an array. Throws [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106)
or [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if `ptr` contains a malformed array
index. If `ptr` resolves to a value, throws whatever converting it to `T` throws. Every other way `ptr` can fail to
resolve -- a missing key, an out-of-range or "`-`" array index, an unresolvable token on a primitive -- yields
`default_value` instead of throwing, exactly as [`BasicJsonType::value`](../basic_json/value.md) catches
`out_of_range` and returns `default_value`.
None of these exceptions carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
1. Linear in the number of members: as for [`operator[]`](operator[].md#complexity), members are compared one after
another, in document order, stopping at the first match. Plus the complexity of converting
the found member to `T` (see [`get`](get.md)).
Objects with 128 or more members get a hash index of their keys while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes
constant time on average.
2. 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 for the [`operator[]`](operator[].md#complexity) and
[`at`](at.md#complexity) overloads that take a JSON pointer. Plus the complexity of converting the resolved value
to `T`.
## Notes
!!! warning "Duplicate keys: the first member wins"
If the source text repeats a key, this resolves to the *first* member with it, not to the last one that
[`materialize()`](materialize.md) and `parse()` keep. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](operator[].md#notes) of
`operator[]` and [Duplicate keys](../../features/json_view.md#duplicate-keys) for the reasons and for how to get
the last value.
!!! info "Differences to `at` and `operator[]`"
Unlike [`at`](at.md), this function does not throw if `key`/`ptr` resolves to no value. Unlike
[`operator[]`](operator[].md), it never returns a [discarded](is_discarded.md) view -- it always returns a `T` --
and it is available on any view, since it never needs to insert a missing element the way the non-const
`BasicJsonType::operator[]` would.
!!! info "Which values can be asked"
As for [`BasicJsonType::value`](../basic_json/value.md), the key overload (1) requires an object, and the JSON
pointer overload (2) an object or an array.

# 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_VIEW_USE_SSSE3
```cpp
#define JSON_VIEW_USE_SSSE3
```
When defined on x86-64, the parser of [`basic_json_document`](../basic_json_document/index.md)
(`<nlohmann/json_view.hpp>`) validates non-ASCII text in strings with SSSE3 without asking the CPU first.
By default, the parser checks once at run time whether the CPU has SSSE3 (all x86-64 CPUs since about 2011 have it)
and then validates non-ASCII text 16 bytes at a time, using the "lookup4" algorithm of
[simdjson](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson); on CPUs without SSSE3, it validates one UTF-8 sequence at a time.
The vector check is compiled for SSSE3 with a function attribute (GCC 4.9 and later, Clang), so this needs no compiler
option. With MSVC, the check uses `__cpuid`. On AArch64, the vector check uses NEON and is always on.
Define the macro only together with a compiler option that enables SSSE3 (e.g. `-mssse3`, or `-march=` with a CPU that
has it), and only for programs that run on such CPUs. It saves the check of the CPU, which costs little. The same
input is accepted or rejected either way; only the speed of non-ASCII text differs.
!!! note "ABI compatibility"
The macro selects between two definitions of the same inline functions. Whether it is defined is encoded in the
