- value_path(): check for the empty stack where the last frame is popped, so that the loop is `for (;;)`; update the frame only after the target check; document that the frame reference is not used after pop_back() or push_back() (and add a test with deep documents to run under a sanitizer) - value_range(): flip the container check to remove a level of nesting - diagnostics(): wrap the whole function in the macro check, and compute the path before the bytes, so that nothing is computed when there is no path; the function stays a template - error_site: separate constructors for the two configurations - site_of(): static_assert that it is called with a view - document why the throw helpers without an error_site have none - pointer.hpp: do not split a comment around the template header - docs: "when materialize() sets them"; list the effects of JSON_DIAGNOSTICS and JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS separately Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

nlohmann::basic_json_view::number_token
string_view_t number_token() const;
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 into the document's
source() 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>()
and materialize() 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 if the value is not a number; example:
"type must be number, but is string".
As for BasicJsonType, with JSON_DIAGNOSTICS the exception names the JSON Pointer
path of the value within the document, and with JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS
its bytes in the source text (when materialize() sets them).
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 always points into the document's
source() 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 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.
```cpp

Output:
