basic_json_view::value(key, "text") and value(pointer, "text") built a
std::string from the default first and passed it on, so a call allocated
for the default even when the member exists, and copied it again when it
does not. They now look the member up and make the result directly: from the
member if there is one, else from the C string. Behavior, including the
exceptions, is the same.
Two calls (member found, member missing) with a 40 character default, Apple M1:
1.6 K -> 0.7 K instructions
Linux x86-64 Ir (500 rounds), GCC 13 / Clang 18: 2.46 M -> 2.22 M / 2.40 M -> 2.15 M
Belongs to the PR "json_view: read-side speedups".
