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-The "Check amalgamation" workflow fails if the file is out of date.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

-
-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>

-
-        std::string word;

-    }

-# 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.
-

-
-    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.

-      and writes the digits of floating-point numbers. The UTF-8 check of non-ASCII text needs SSSE3, which is not part
-      of x86-64: it is compiled for SSSE3 with a function attribute and used when the CPU has SSSE3 (every x86-64 CPU
-      since about 2011), else the portable check. Code compiled for SSSE3 anyway (e.g., with `-mssse3` or `-march=native`)
-      skips this check of the CPU. 32-bit x86 uses SSE2 for strings when the compiler targets it.
-    - **AArch64:** NEON, which every 64-bit Arm CPU has, checks UTF-8 text and long runs of plain string characters 16
-      bytes at a time, and writes the digits of floating-point numbers. With MSVC, only the floating-point digits use
-      NEON.
-    - **Other targets:** portable code only.
-
-    Strings are only scanned this way for contiguous input and for the characters a `#!cpp std::istream` holds in its
-    stream buffer (see [`JSON_DISABLE_STREAM_BULK_SCAN`](json_disable_stream_bulk_scan.md)); other inputs are read one

-
-`NumberUnsignedType` may be the same type as `NumberIntegerType`, e.g.
-`#!cpp nlohmann::json::with_integers_t<std::int64_t, std::int64_t>` (see
-[`with_integers_t`](../../api/basic_json/with_t.md)), for code that only wants to handle one integer type. Such a `basic_json` stores every integer as
-[`number_integer_t`](../../api/basic_json/number_integer_t.md):

- [`is_number_unsigned()`](../../api/basic_json/is_number_unsigned.md) is always `#!cpp false`, and
-  [`type()`](../../api/basic_json/type.md) never returns `value_t::number_unsigned`. Constructing a value from
-  `value_t::number_unsigned` gives a `value_t::number_integer` value.
- Values of unsigned C++ types (e.g., `#!cpp 5u`) are converted to `NumberIntegerType`, so values above its maximum
-  wrap around, as values outside the range of a narrower `NumberIntegerType` already do.
- The parsers store a non-negative integer above the maximum of `NumberIntegerType` (e.g., `18446744073709551615` for
-  `#!cpp std::int64_t`) as [`number_float_t`](../../api/basic_json/number_float_t.md), like any other integer that does
-  not fit.
- Converting from a `basic_json` with distinct types turns its unsigned values into `number_integer_t` values.

-  2.3 ms). Two consequences: the source container is left in a valid but unspecified (moved-from) state, and if an
-  exception is thrown during the conversion, the source may be partially moved-from, so the strong exception guarantee
-  no longer holds for the source of an rvalue conversion (the JSON value itself is unaffected). Lvalues and `const`
-  objects are still copied. See [`basic_json`](../api/basic_json/basic_json.md).
