Niels Lohmann 2d3492dccb Document json_document and json_view
- API pages for basic_json_document and basic_json_view, one per member,
  and for the four aliases, each with an example
- features/json_view.md: the problem the view solves, ownership and
  lifetime, what matches basic_json::parse() and what differs, and when
  to choose json, ordered_json, SAX, or the view
- the examples show why one would use the view, not only how: borrowed
  vs. owned input, reading a few fields and materializing one subtree,
  reusing a document across many messages
- registered in the mkdocs navigation, llms.txt, the docset, the
  exceptions page (out_of_range.416), architecture.md, the integration
  page, and the README; the yyjson credit is added to the README and
  license.md

nlohmann::basic_json_document::is_discarded

bool is_discarded() const noexcept;

Returns whether the document holds no value, either because it was default-constructed or because the last call to parse(), parse_copy(), or read() failed with allow_exceptions set to #!cpp false.

Return value

#!cpp true if the document is discarded, #!cpp false otherwise.

Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.

Complexity

Constant.

Notes

When the document is discarded, root() returns a discarded view (its is_discarded() is also #!cpp true).

Examples

??? example

```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__is_discarded.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__is_discarded.output"
```
