- 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 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

nlohmann::basic_json_document::owns_source
bool owns_source() const noexcept;
Returns whether the document holds its own copy of the parsed text, as opposed to borrowing the caller's buffer.
Return value
#!cpp true if the document owns the text returned by source(), #!cpp false if it borrows it (or if
the document is discarded).
Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
Complexity
Constant.
Notes
See the ownership table on parse for which inputs are borrowed and which are owned. A borrowed
document (#!cpp owns_source() == false) is only valid while the buffer it was parsed from is still alive.
Examples
??? example
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__owns_source.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_document__owns_source.output"
```
