Review and extend the documentation, and check it in CI (#5638)
* Review and extend the documentation, and check it in CI A review of all documentation pages found factual errors, dead links, missing cross-references, and gaps in examples. This fixes them and adds checks so the same problems are caught automatically. Fixes: - wrong signatures and version histories (operator!= C++20 member, binary() subtype type, get<PointerType>(), JSON_NO_THREAD_LOCAL, ...) - stale descriptions (number parsing since #5283, UBJSON table, SAX example that no longer compiled, tsl::ordered_map advice) - dead internal and external links; repology.org badges (the domain is suspended) replaced by badges that query the registries directly - deprecation notes link the migration guide; the guide itself fixed Additions: - "See also" sections, cross-references, 25 runnable examples, 12 Mermaid diagrams, new API pages for json_pointer::operator<=> and byte_container_with_subtype::operator==/!= - landing page, guides for untrusted input and performance - "unreleased" badge after versions newer than the latest release Checks: - strict documentation build (broken links/anchors fail it); CI and the publish workflow fetch the full history the build needs - weekly external link check, Mermaid syntax check in CI - check_structure.py: example titles, heading levels, alt texts, header links, docset index coverage; its unused-example check works again - all examples produce the same output on every platform Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Keep the customer links that could not be fixed A dead link on the customers page is still the evidence of where the use of the library was documented. Keep the original URLs of the entries without a working replacement (Marne, Cisco Webex Desk Camera, Philips Hue, CyberArk) and exclude exactly these URLs from the link check. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Correct the duplicate-key recipe's claim about SAX positions The SAX interface's key() receives no position either; only parse_error() does. Also note that the recipe does not report the path to the repeated key (see discussion #5085). Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Say the library is available as a single header and mention json_fwd.hpp Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Correct documentation errors found while hunting for bugs - patch/patch_inplace: list the JSON pointer errors parse_error.106-109 and out_of_range.402/404, and quote the actual parse_error.105 message. - unflatten: list parse_error.106/107/108 and out_of_range.404. - to_bson: list out_of_range.415 (binary subtype above 255) and note that 412 and 415 are new in 3.13.0. - to_string: state that string_t must be convertible to std::string, also in the StringType requirements table. - JSON Lines: a `while (input >> j)` loop also throws after the last value for concatenated JSON values; show a loop that works for both. - BON8: a string gets 0xFF only if nothing follows it in the message; a string at the end of an array or object is ended by 0xFE. - custom_string_type.hpp: add operator+=(char), which the "Always required" list asks for (json_pointer::to_string, flatten, unflatten, and diff did not compile), and an ADL int_to_string for diff and items. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Cache the release headers with functools.lru_cache Codacy (Pylint) flagged the mutable default argument that header() used as its cache. functools.lru_cache keeps the same memoization without it. The script's output is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> --------- Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

#### Default type
|

### Default type
|
||||
|
||||
The default values for `BinaryType` is `#!cpp std::vector<std::uint8_t>`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Supported byte types
|
||||
### Supported byte types
|
||||
|
||||
`#!cpp std::vector<std::uint8_t>`, `#!cpp std::vector<char>`, and `#!cpp std::vector<std::byte>` are supported.
|
||||
Regardless of which of them is configured, [`dump`](dump.md) writes the bytes as the numbers 0..255.

### Custom BinaryType behavior
|
||||
|
||||
When a custom `BinaryType` is configured (other than the default `#!cpp std::vector<std::uint8_t>`), you can assign
|
||||
values of that type directly to a `basic_json` instance, and they will automatically be recognized as binary values

|
||||
This automatic type detection is a convenience feature that only applies to custom (non-default) `BinaryType` configurations.
|
||||
The default `nlohmann::json` continues to treat `#!cpp std::vector<std::uint8_t>` as arrays for backward compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Storage
|
||||
### Storage
|
||||
|
||||
Binary Arrays are stored as pointers in a `basic_json` type. That is, for any access to array values, a pointer of the
|
||||
type `#!cpp binary_t*` must be dereferenced.
